One of the best songs ever created.
"In the Air Tonight" is a song by Phil Collins which first appeared on his 1981 album, Face Value. It was also the first single of Collins' solo career, and remains one of his best known hits.
Years later, Collins commented on the legends about the song in a BBC World Service interview: " I don't know what this song is about. When I was writing this I was going through a divorce. And the only thing I can say about it is that it's obviously in anger. It's the angry side, or the bitter s
ide of a separation. So what makes it even more comical is when I hear these stories which started many years ago, particularly in America, of someone come up to me and say, 'Did you really see someone drowning?' I said, 'No, wrong'. And then every time I go back to America the story gets Chinese wh

by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night" [sic] About that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drowning But didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him? Putting the rumors to rest once and for all, Collins stated on VH1 Classic's "Classic Albums" series that he came up
with "99%" of the lyrics on the spot, based on what he felt the vibe was of the dark chords he had improvised over the ominous drum beat. He was "just messing around for fun," completely unaware that what he was creating would ultimately be the staple song from his next album. I can feel it coming i
n the air tonight, oh lord Ive been waiting for this moment, all my life, oh lord Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord Well, if you told me you were drowning I would not lend a hand Ive seen your face before my friend But I dont know if you know who I am Well, I was there and
I saw what you did I saw it with my own two eyes So you can wipe off the grin, I know where youve been Its all been a pack of lies And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord Ive been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord And I
ve been waiting for this moment all my life, oh lord, oh lord Well I remember, I remember dont worry How could I ever forget, its the first time, the last time we ever met But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you dont fool me The hurt doesnt show; but the pain still grows Its no s
tranger to you or me And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord...
