Phil Collins - Lorenzo (Live And Loose In Paris)

Phil Collins performs "Lorenzo" live in Paris on his 'Dance into the Light' tour in 1997. "Everything you see and hear on this DVD was taken from one night in Paris. The music you hear is un-tampered with. So... I would like to thank everyone involved, David Mallet and his crew, Cubby & Nick, our on-stage team, the lighting guys, and of course the band, for sounding like the best band I could imagine." Thanks Phil Collins

Lyrics
Once upon a time I made a lion roar -
he was sleeping in the sunbeams on the old zoo floor.
I had gone to see the park where my papa used to play,
it's called called Villa Borghese and it's on the way
to East Africa.

Down on Grand Comoro Island, where I grew past four,
I could swim and fish and snorkel on the ocean floor,
and the wind laughed, and the wind laughed through the trees as if to say,
here's a child who'll want the world to go his way
in East Africa, in East Africa.

Suddenly for me the world turned upside down -
far from my friends the lions and the dolphins came this awful sound.

Dark shadows, sounds of thunder raging over me,
came this monster called 'A-dre-no-leu-ko-dys-tro-phy'
Where's my East Africa?

Well they said, they said, they said (the ones who know it all)
they said from now on for you there will be no more standing tall,
so I took my parents' hands, I lifted my head to say
I'll just have to be a hero, there's no other way!
Back to East Africa
Back to East Africa
Back to East Africa
Come with me I'm going back, going back to East Africa.

What I can say? Phil was the greatest Musican and Drummer in Universe!!! Never come back the same.

How did I not ever know about this beautiful tribute to Lorenzo Odone before now? I was diagnosed with MS in 1992, and then I saw the movie Lorenzo's Oil and it changed everything! I am one of the fortunate ones, benign. Now the Odones have all crossed over, but their fighting spirit lives on in patient advocacy! What beautiful music you created for a special boy, Mr. Collins.

I'll never understand why so many people dislike "Dance Into the Light". I listented the album some days ago, after many years, and I still think that it's one of the best albums by PC

Near the end he's singing some of the lines from Going Back from the album Going Back. First time I noticed and recognized. Wonderful song, Lorenzo.

Phil’s bird calls 0:44-0:49 are perfect! What a talent! There are no limits to Phil’s talents.

2:39-3:12 and 5:51-6:11 should tell you why Phil Collins is my absolute favorite drummer EVER!

[teedot]

Just think...Phil was the 2nd drummer of an Art Rock band called Genesis. He had only sang backup before Peter Gabriel left the band. Phil stepped up and took the band took them to new heights..
