Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight" REACTION & ANALYSIS by Vocal Coach/Opera Singer

A song about loss, divorce, anger and frustration all wrapped into one of Phil Collin's first singles, "In The Air Tonight" is an emotional tale from Phil's own life. It will be interesting going on this journey with empathy and perspective.
Join Elizabeth Zharoff as she takes a deep dive into a live performance of one of Phil's most memorable songs.

    Hey Elizabeth... I watched this video about back when you first put it out, and so the other day I ran across a very sad news update video on Phil Collins. He's now gone from the incredibly capable singer / drummer / stage performer who could sing so well even when being physically active drumming (as you pointed out) to a near wheelchair-bound man who, in his own words, can barely even *hold* a drumstick in his hands, much less hit a drum. Evidently he's had some health issues as well as having taken a very nasty fall in his home a few years back, and now has tremendous nerve damage. I gather he can still sing, but he's both functionally and physically now a shell of the man he used to be. Very, very sad.

I'd always found Phil Collins fascinating and amazing for being that lead singer NOT on a guitar or keyboard. I think being a percussionist is what gave Phil such a visceral feeling with his songs. I'm so sad for him that he can't play music like he had due to his health. He's endured so much.

    The vocoder was on the backing vocal, controlled by the keyboard player, who's also controlling the 808 hihat line. Obviously the main drum line is held down by the first guy, we designed the performance so Phil could be nice and relaxed and just do the 'solo' part on his kit while preserving the dynamic element of the vocal part.

One man, one keyboard, and 'The Raylettes' backing him up. Better than his shows at the Hollywood Bowl, at least for me. I could see the sweat dripping off of his nose, hear the sound of the Raylette's shoes on the stage. Heaven!

I was waiting with baited breath to see the genuine reaction on your face, and oh man, you didn't disappoint. I remember the first time I heard Phil...it was after seeing the Tarzan movie as well, and specifically it was this song that introduced me to him. I was fairly new to rock at the time, and I was like 'is this metal??? THIS IS BADASS!!!' I have been a fan ever since, even followed Genesis down a rabbit hole after Disturbed covered 'Land of Confusion'. I had that same reaction you did, the first time I saw him sit at that set and just EXPLODE on those drums. I KNEW you'd be blown away, and I'm so glad!!! Phil deserves tons of respect for all his capabilities as an artist. ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER MADE, HANDS DOWN!! Soooo immensely happy that you reacted to this, but also enjoyed it as well.

    @Blake N Not sure I agree with your description of Dave Grohl. Foo Fighters are celebrating 25 years as a band this year and have just released their 10th album. While they were a seminal band with a huge influence, Nirvana only released 3 albums and were one of those "James Dean" bands (Live fast, die young, leave behind a beautiful corpse). These days, most people would be very surprised to learn that Dave was their DRUMMER.

    @Blake N Point taken. I agree, that longevity and number of albums doesn't confer "greatness" (one of my favourite artists is Devin Townsend - 25 + albums in a 30 year career yet virtually unknown to the wider public), and there is no comparison between the influence of Genesis and Foo Fighters. My point was that more people today would know Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters, rather than Nirvana. And that they would be surprised to learn that Dave was even in Nirvana.

    When he starts playing drums, watch his eyes. you'll notice that the moment he started playing, his eyes closed. Simply put, he had to start layering the focus he used between the drum and his voice. As someone who played percussion all through school, the concept of singing while playing is ridiculous. The different layers needed just on the drums still amazes me. The fact that he is able to sing while doing that puts him at a level that I cannot understand and still sit in awe even after 40 years. He is his own category in music.

I've been waiting for this moment, all my life" It can be related to finally getting together with your long lost love, or some brilliant moment in your life that is about to change it forever (for better, or worse).

    I've been playing drums and singing for fifteen or so years and singing and playing drums isn't all *that* hard. Once you've done it for a while, you know that your key words will fall on the downbeat and the answer words will fall on the up beat. Pretty simple, all in all. But what Phil does here is *vastly* more complex than that since he isn't playing a main rhythm line. He's drumming across the toms and almost all of the rhythm he's playing on the toms is on the off beat until he reaches the floor tom, which is where he anchors himself vocally. I've been trying to figure out how to do what he does in this song for about five years and I still can't pull it off. I have a massive amount of respect for the skill it takes for him to do what he does in this song. It's mind-boggling.

    He starts out by just standing still, in plain black clothes and still gives the audience a fantastic ride with just his voice. And then when you think "this is awesome!" he just walks up to the drums and delivers one of (if not THE) most epic drum segments. While still singing just as fantastic as before. He is a great singer, but he is a legendary drummer. He just stacks his world class talents on top of each other. Just listen to the audience when he gets close to the drums, they all know exactly what is coming, and that moment is probably the moment they all came to the concert for!

    Are you serious? Some work from his solo career is very well recognized by people between 20 and 30, if only for his work with Disney. Then there's a generations wide appreciation for his work with Genesis both as a drummer and later as their singer. It's sad that he's almost deaf and in poor health but when he picked up touring again a couple of years ago he performed for full venues (stadium size) all over the world. This man is a legend.
