The meaning of In the Air Tonight has been hotly debated ever since it debuted. The song was born out of Collins’ grief after divorce. He and his first wife, Andrea Bertorelli, had finalized their divorce the year prior. Collins would say, years later, that he had written the lyrics spontaneously without knowing what the song was about. His anger, despair, and frustration permeate the track in an emotional avalanche that is simply mesmerizing.
Collins also later explained that his divorce from Bertorelli was the cause of his hiatus from the band Genesis for part of 1979.

My generation had the absolute best real musicians and music, ever.

To play drums full-on is a ridiculously demanding thing...To sing at the same time AND hit these notes he's hitting...
This is legendary stuff happening here.

Phil is that rare bird, world class drummer, singer & songwriter! ❤

[SC-gpkt]

That drum solo is probably THE most famous of all time. We first heard this song in the show "Miami Vice", when songs sometimes premiered in tv shows. Please keep this music alive for us through your kids and their generations!

I 'discovered' Phill Collins and Genesis when I was a teenager. Now I'm 63 y.o. and I still feel chills while listening to this song. Great mister Collins ❤

[TheWynch]

I've been listening to this song for 40 years and that drum drop always gives me goose bumps, it never fails to move me.

[oliviam]

I'm so glad to be a baby Boomer... Growing up when all these musicians & bands were in their glory & peaking. There's a huge difference of pure mucic, musicians and performance. Not the stuff of entertainment with all the glitz, dancers etc. These were the glory days!!

[rockalittl]

Can't rush an epic song. The intro build up is everything. You know what's coming and it's just the best feeling. I've seen him play this live twice and it is everything you think it would be and more live. Full body chills and yes...you do lose your mind in the music. There is a reason this song is legendary and to this day when people hear this in public, everyone air drums the solo!😂 Forever a fan of Phil Collins❤

[jaqathome]

Phil is a legend for a reason. He is one of three artists who have sold 100 million albums as part of a group (Genesis) and as a solo artist. The other two are Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson. That’s some rarified company to be involved n.

THE BEST Air Drummer moments....EVERYONE does the air drum when that part of the song hits.

[alanbrown]

Phil never had the "look" people expected of rocker but his talent was never in question. His look was his own, his style was his own, his presence was his own. Once you have heard that drop and the haunting lyrics leading to it you will never forget it. The song touches your soul and moves you...as music should when it is real and not engineered to the point where the feeling is sterile.

Orgasmic!!! Baby boomer here! We did have THE BEST music of the 20th century! This song got immensely popular on the tv show ‘Miami Vice’ when played on one of the episodes. Collins made a couple cameos during the shows run!

[karenlackner]

The artists of my day didn’t never auto-tune. True talent, authentic voice!

[lmyedbv]

I'm 70 and this still gives me chills ! We had the best of the best!!

[bronyk]

My generation knew it was greatness as we grew up on songs like this Thanx Phil❤The 80s early 90s such great music

[gail]

Having watched hundreds and hundreds of reaction videos - your reaction to this iconic performance just became my all time favorite. Thank you!

[BelindaTN]

No one ever gets tired of this song. It is so intense and exciting. Love watching the crowd. They know what is coming and they anxiously await it.

[slcncr]

When he sits down, the most iconic drum line of the 20th century is about to follow.
The whole song is a build up to that exact moment. Purely *EPIC*
People will still love this masterpiece in 500 years.

Phil Collins/Genesis has been a part of my life for more than 40 years and knowing that now he can't even hold his sticks is heartbreaking. Prayers for Phil Collins please.
