Finnish Vocal Coach Reacts: PHIL COLLINS - In The Air Tonight (Subtitles)

Welcome! In this reaction immerse myself in the captivating sound of Phil Collins.Right from the start, I'm struck by the beautiful, digital soundscape that pulls me in. It’s so serene—I just want to sink into it!
The way Phil keeps his sound quite narrow and frontal creates an intense atmosphere—every word hits hard, almost like a knife. Time to an(n)alyse this fascinating tenor! (𝑅𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑡𝑜 𝑐𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑘 𝑡𝘩𝑒 𝑠𝑢𝑏𝑡𝑖𝑡𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑛!)

🎵 DOWNBEAT is the first beat and strongest beat of every measure, UPBEAT is the weakest beat and the last beat of every measure.

Dear music fam! I am happy to be back after battling against a summer cold for TWO weeks! ^^
Also, before you come to comment on my red face/pale neck, this is the kind of tan you get when you are not lying in the sun but hanging outside with a shirt on picking blueberries, strawberries, rasperries, chantarelles etc... 😊 No, I don't have a wrong foundation color.. It's the harvesting season and I'm just being real instead of covering the color difference with tons of make-up!😂
ANYWAY I hope you'll enjoy the reaction, hope to see you in the premiere! xx

Phil Collins is a LEGEND!!! enough said.

I used to be Phils milkman in the 80's me and my dad got stuck in his driveway once after heavy rain, he brought us out breakfast in the pouring rain on a sliver tray, used to give a big tip at Christmas, loves a hazelnut yoghurt.❤

I'm a multi-instrumentalist. Many years ago, as a teenager, I used to do this - play drums and sing at the same time, via a headset mic. Genesis was my favorite band, so it was Phil that inspired me to try.

And I can confirm just how difficult it is. I could never do that today. I'm not sure how I ever did it back THEN.

[chrisweidner]

Amazing how, at 66, I get emotional experiencing such genius. The reaction by the crowd. So happy for Phil.

Hello from Denmark!
Thank you for putting subtitles on your videos. I think the Finnish language is so beautiful, and your reactions to music are really organic and cool to hear! Wishing you and yours all the best

[tobyhdr]

I don't speak any Finnish, but I love trying to make sense of the Finnish sections simply by paying VERY close attention. My success rate so far: perhaps a bit over 0%. I'm pretty sure I understood the hello and goodbye bits.

I'm going to say something a little poetic, a little philosophical: Your analysis echoes Phil's performance in its precision and focus. What I love about this performance is how honesty is served through extraordinary skill and dedication to the very complex emotions that are communicated. The skill becomes translucent as the emotional honesty and precision cut through like a knife. I've watched this performance many times and it almost always gives me the chills.

What I love about your analysis is how profoundly it respects and reflects that precision in a way that is thus not remotely fawning. This makes for a genuine and skilled response that does Phil's performance proud. Thank you for it.

[rkgator]

This performance is one of, if not THE, best performances I have ever seen. Phil Collins is a master of instrumentation and the use of drums as melody. The staging, engineering, and lighting is all masterfully done. Full of subtly and bombast, Collins is a true musicians musician. Your analysis is one of the best I have seen, illustrating so much of the quality he brings to the stage.

[blastingweevil]

this song still give's me chills after the many 100's of times i have heard it this itteration is by far the best and it shows you just why Phill collins is as loved as he is. to be able to sing without messing up the notes of pitch while smashing the drums.. he is not just hitting them he is SMASHING them....

[dagmar.]

Great live performance! Phil Collins is best known as the drummer/singer of the rock band Genesis in the 70's & for his solo career. He has had so many great hits such as "Another Day In Paradise", "I Don't Care Anymore", "Against All Odds", "One More Night", "Sussudio", "Take Me Home", "Two Hearts", "A Groovy Kind Of Love", "I Wish It Would Rain Down", "You Can't Hurry Love" etc.

[davidputterman]

Great reaction to a great song. I would be partial to it anyway because of the percussion. And yes, the keyboardist was using a Vocoder to parallel Phils voice. Cheers Anna.

[traviscotrel]

Phil just killed this performance. His control over his body is outstanding!

[LazloHo]

I commented this once before. I repeat myself, for me, for you, but mostly for anyone else who reads this comment and didn't notice on their own. I so, so appreciate that you take the time to write your own subtitles. I love that you can use whatever language is most comfortable for you, in the moment, for what you want to express and I love that you take the time to rewrite what you are saying, in English, in the subtitles. It's obvious, just from the timing, that your native language and English don't structure sentences the same way and so, if left to a computer, the translations would be silly.

I do really appreciate your analysis. I appreciate the joy that you bring to listening to good music. I'm grateful that you take the time to make sure a language barrier doesn't prevent me from enjoying your reactions.

[nightmusic]

I might have to set a reminder for this one.
I love this version. Phil conveys such an emotional connection to the story. its beautiful and a punch in the gut. I might shed some tears while listening/watching.

sidenote: How can you possibly sing so steady and hit all those drums and rhytms at the same time? Mindblown

[phillipridgway]

Phil was a child actor before he joined a band, which no doubt accounts for his hypnotic stage presence in this song! He did the odd bit of film and TV acting as an adult, too.

[momlovesu]

First time watching your channel. This song is about going through his difficult divorce.
I don’t think you noticed that when Phil was walking towards the drums..initially they weren’t there. They came up from the lower stage! His timing impeccable! Plus I never realized he had his drum sticks with him all along!
Phil is a true legend! He has sold over 100 million albums as a solo artist as well as selling over 100 million albums when he was the drummer for Genesis!

[brianboye]

The words aren't jumpy. They carry immense pain and rage. Sweet people always miss this.

[matthewgoodA]

I feel like this is one of those utterly consummate live performances. When a group and artist absolutely gave it all to come up with something that was tremendously incredible. That crowd got beyond their money’s worth. And Phil just took the whole thing over the top and all the way home, when he began bashing out those brilliant beats.

[joffey]

Genius, greatest artist, musician I've ever heard, / met ,

[serlesweg]

I spent quite some time in Finland, Uusikaupunki, Helsinki, Kajaani and Kuopio. The Berries from Finland are the best have ever tasted . The mosquitos are a pain in the Perse though.Keep up the good work. H. in Austria. :-)
