35. Phil Collins / You’ll be in my Heart

[eggy]

I never understood why my dad was so into the Tarzan soundtrack. He listened to that CD non-stop for over a year. It wasn't until he passed (way too early) that it came to me. Dad connected to the themes of love, adoption and fatherly protection because of my adoption. Thanks for being a part of a song that helped me understand my father in a way I hadn't.

My 2 year old, Jack, just saw me watching this video. “Daddy! Santa plays bass too!!”. Thank you for making me almost as cool as Santa - and for all these videos! Keep safe and sane!

My mom passed away 1 month ago, I still remember when we went to watch Tarzan, and she told me that's my song for you. Now I'm 35, she was 58 (young), now she's in my heart. Cheers from Mexico, Mr. Sklar, love your videos.

DEAR LELAND, I'M BRAZILIAN, AND IT'S AN HONOR TO BE SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR CHANNEL, EMOTION AND JOY, I FEEL WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS, NEVER STOP PLAYING, FOR US WHO REALLY LOVE MUSIC, A BIG HUG!

[TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks so much for sharing everyday. Your bass playing, your kind heart... I am learning so much!!

[showbiz]

Going back through some of your "old" videos! Great!! Thanks for all you have done and continue to do!

Beautifully fluid and melodic bass line, it doesn’t just complement the song, if lifts it

[GKPLA]

One of my favorite bass lines ever. Could listen to it all day.

[rocastafunk]

"I hope I remember the song" *nails every freaking note and drops some killin fills

[stevedrums]

First time I heard this song was the day my Mom was put into hospice. She died two days later and this song shall always be her song. I have never heard it without tearing up.

Lee, Thank you so much for letting us "In." For starters the obvious, we don't often get a chance to be up close with not only how you approach a tune, but some of the inside baseball regarding the tune itself. More importantly, with all that is going on now, all of our social circles have gotten much smaller, some to a point of a standstill. Everyday, I look forward from hearing from my new friend Lee. I get to learn some things about bass playing, some things about making music in general, and especially some things about life. Definitely a bright spot in my day!

It's maybe a bit weird to thank someone for making you cry but, thank you, sir. I'll never forget you.

The Tarzan sound track is probably some of my favorite work from Phil Collins. Under appreciated IMO

[kuku]

You look amasing with that huge beard! God bless you and Phil Collins! I used to play base a bit. I love Phil so much! Tell Phill I love him too in Jesus name. Both be blessed guys. Love his songs so much.

[Samantha-vlly]

I was only introduced to the tracks themselves and didn't watch this movie. I feel whenever listening that it's his song

[davidmarais]

Like an eagle soaring... the grace and sweetness of those bass lines. Amazing.

[craiglewis]

I love the slide using the root and 10th. Very "Walk on the Wild side" and the great Herbie Flowers.
I'm loving listening and watching you play. Proof that it's always possible to find a positive in crap situations.
Thanks so much.

[tuskedbeast]

What a pleasing bass style you have- perfect, really. Love the sliding chord. Grateful for what amount to some serious bass lessons (for us players), your continuing sharing of your kind-hearted energy, and your reminders of our gratitude to the people risking their health and lives for us. Thank you.

[Gherson]

"I Wish It Would Rain Down" has got a cool bassline. *wink wink*

Leland Sklar...
he plays with great feeling the songs that were part of his career ... it is beautiful to see.
