[MUSIC - PHIL COLLINS, "IN THE AIR TONIGHT"]

5
00:00:40,937 --> 00:00:42,214
PHIL COLLINS: This
record definitely

6
00:00:42,318 --> 00:00:46,563
is autobiographical, but notjust focusing on the sadness.

7
00:00:46,667 --> 00:00:49,290
That's the thing that isa misconception, I think.

8
00:00:49,394 --> 00:00:51,603
It's triggered by an event.

9
00:00:51,706 --> 00:00:56,642
It chronicles, you
know, a life in motion.

10
00:00:56,746 --> 00:01:01,544
[SINGING] I can feel itcoming in the air tonight.

11
00:01:01,647 --> 00:01:04,547
Oh Lord.

12
00:01:04,650 --> 00:01:11,933
And I've been waiting forthis moment for all my life.

13
00:01:12,037 --> 00:01:14,488
Oh, Lord.

14
00:01:14,591 --> 00:01:17,007
I wasn't even intending onwriting a song, you know.

15
00:01:17,111 --> 00:01:18,423
I want to sit down
and write a song.

16
00:01:18,526 --> 00:01:19,872
I just was fooling around.

17
00:01:19,976 --> 00:01:22,530
And I got these chords thatare liked, and the sound.

18
00:01:22,634 --> 00:01:24,187
The chords went with the sound.

19
00:01:24,291 --> 00:01:28,743
It all was-- you couldn'thave played faster or slower

20
00:01:28,847 --> 00:01:30,642
than the sound allowed you to.

21
00:01:30,745 --> 00:01:33,541
So it sort of created itself.

22
00:01:33,645 --> 00:01:36,372
So I turned the microphoneon, and I saw the meter move.

23
00:01:36,475 --> 00:01:37,545
That was a good sign.

24
00:01:37,649 --> 00:01:39,513
And then I started singing.

25
00:01:39,616 --> 00:01:42,516
And the lyrics
you hear were what

26
00:01:42,619 --> 00:01:47,762
I wrote spontaneously withthe feeling of that music

27
00:01:47,866 --> 00:01:49,868
at that time.

28
00:01:49,971 --> 00:01:56,012
[SINGING] Well if you toldme you you were drowning,

29
00:01:56,116 --> 00:02:00,844
I would not lend a hand.

30
00:02:00,948 --> 00:02:04,434
I seen your face
before, my friend,

31
00:02:04,538 --> 00:02:09,577
but I don't know if
you know who I am.

32
00:02:09,681 --> 00:02:12,201
This frightens me a
bit, because there's

33
00:02:12,304 --> 00:02:15,376
obviously something going on inthere that I don't know about.

34
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,965
But I'm quite proud ofthe fact that I sang 99.9%

35
00:02:18,068 --> 00:02:19,346
of those lyrics spontaneously.

36
00:02:19,449 --> 00:02:20,485
And when someone
says now tell me,

37
00:02:20,588 --> 00:02:22,245
Phil, what is it really about?

38
00:02:22,349 --> 00:02:23,660
I say I don't know.

39
00:02:23,764 --> 00:02:26,939
I've no idea, because I justmade it up as I went along.

40
00:02:27,043 --> 00:02:31,047
[SINGING] But I was there,and I saw what you did.

41
00:02:31,151 --> 00:02:36,156
I saw it with my own two eyes.

42
00:02:36,259 --> 00:02:38,986
So you can wipe off that grin.

43
00:02:39,089 --> 00:02:41,333
I know where you've been.

44
00:02:41,437 --> 00:02:43,887
It's all been a pack of lies.

45
00:02:46,959 --> 00:02:50,825
I lived outside Guilford, in avillage called Shalford Common.

46
00:02:50,929 --> 00:02:53,690
And I was just a relativelywell-known pop star.

47
00:02:53,794 --> 00:02:56,072
You know, I mean I had Ihad a wife and two children,

48
00:02:56,176 --> 00:02:57,211
and two dogs.

49
00:02:57,315 --> 00:02:59,075
And then the next day
I didn't have anything.

50
00:02:59,179 --> 00:03:03,183
So I actually had a lot
of time on my hands.

51
00:03:03,286 --> 00:03:05,530
So I don't know.
That's sounds terrible.

52
00:03:05,633 --> 00:03:07,911
I don't want to make itsound like the carpet was

53
00:03:08,015 --> 00:03:09,223
ripped out from underneath me.

54
00:03:09,327 --> 00:03:12,088
I played my part in
this mistake, too.

55
00:03:12,192 --> 00:03:15,091
So a lot of these songs werewritten because at the time

56
00:03:15,195 --> 00:03:18,059
I was you going through
this emotional changes.

57
00:03:18,163 --> 00:03:21,028
But to me it was just thesound of the words, you know.

58
00:03:21,131 --> 00:03:22,305
I didn't know what
I was singing about.

59
00:03:22,409 --> 00:03:26,171
I mean obviously when you'regoing through a divorce

60
00:03:26,275 --> 00:03:29,036
all kinds of things
run through your mind.

61
00:03:29,139 --> 00:03:32,695
There's anger, there'sbitterness, there's hurt,

62
00:03:32,798 --> 00:03:33,868
you know.

63
00:03:33,972 --> 00:03:35,698
And all that stuff is
in "In the Air Tonight."

64
00:03:35,801 --> 00:03:36,595
Menace.

65
00:03:39,495 --> 00:03:40,806
Finally losing your
temper at the end,

66
00:03:40,910 --> 00:03:42,049
when the drums come in.

67
00:03:42,152 --> 00:03:45,017
[drums]

68
00:03:47,123 --> 00:03:52,922
[SINGING] Coming in the
air tonight, oh Lord.

69
00:03:56,028 --> 00:03:58,376
I've been waiting
for this moment

70
00:03:58,479 --> 00:04:01,827
for all my life, oh Lord.

71
00:04:04,934 --> 00:04:13,287
I can feel it in the
air tonight, oh Lord.

72
00:04:13,391 --> 00:04:16,083
I remember when I was
at the demo stage.

73
00:04:16,186 --> 00:04:18,672
You hear clicks when thefridge was going on and off,

74
00:04:18,775 --> 00:04:20,467
and then the phone wouldring, and I wouldn't hear it,

75
00:04:20,570 --> 00:04:23,055
and I listened back to itlater and there'd be a phone

76
00:04:23,159 --> 00:04:23,953
ringing in the background.

77
00:04:24,056 --> 00:04:25,368
And I didn't really mind.

78
00:04:25,472 --> 00:04:26,818
At the time, to
be honest, I never

79
00:04:26,921 --> 00:04:29,269
knew that was going to bean outlet for these tapes.

80
00:04:29,372 --> 00:04:33,480
This was just me expressingmyself, and learning

81
00:04:33,583 --> 00:04:37,277
how to operate the equipment.

82
00:04:37,380 --> 00:04:40,210
[music playing]

83
00:04:42,799 --> 00:04:45,146
The whole thing was
set up by this, really.

84
00:04:45,250 --> 00:04:48,460
The mood of this drum machine.

85
00:04:48,564 --> 00:04:49,737
For me.

86
00:04:49,841 --> 00:04:52,602
When you hear that,
you couldn't possibly

87
00:04:52,706 --> 00:04:54,915
replace that with real drums.

88
00:04:55,018 --> 00:04:58,470
People say why do you use drummachines when you're a drummer.

89
00:04:58,574 --> 00:04:59,575
And it's just that
sometimes drum

90
00:04:59,678 --> 00:05:01,680
machines give you things that--

91
00:05:01,784 --> 00:05:02,957
it's the atmosphere.

92
00:05:03,061 --> 00:05:04,787
It's relentless.
Doesn't move.

93
00:05:04,890 --> 00:05:06,720
A drummer would get boredplaying anything like this.

94
00:05:06,823 --> 00:05:15,798
Dumb It would ruin the sortof relentlessness of it.

95
00:05:15,901 --> 00:05:16,937
[chords playing]

96
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,215
And then this would
have been the first two

97
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:21,700
things I'd put down.

98
00:05:21,804 --> 00:05:23,806
Couple of nice chords, D minor.

99
00:05:23,909 --> 00:05:26,464
The saddest cord of all.

100
00:05:26,567 --> 00:05:29,639
C. B flat.

101
00:05:29,743 --> 00:05:34,299
Back to C. Piece
of cake, really.

102
00:05:34,403 --> 00:05:37,198
[SINGING] Well I remember.

103
00:05:37,302 --> 00:05:42,031
I remember, don't worry.

104
00:05:42,134 --> 00:05:44,482
How could I ever forget?

105
00:05:44,585 --> 00:05:51,937
It's the first time, the
last time we ever met.

106
00:05:52,041 --> 00:05:54,043
I hadn't really set
out to be famous.

107
00:05:54,146 --> 00:05:58,392
I hadn't really set out tomake a record of any type.

108
00:05:58,496 --> 00:05:59,428
You know.

109
00:05:59,531 --> 00:06:03,052
I'd just done a few
things in my room.

110
00:06:03,155 --> 00:06:04,536
I painted a few
pictures in my room,

111
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,124
and someone wanted
to look at them.

112
00:06:06,227 --> 00:06:08,506
[SINGING] The hurt doesn't show.

113
00:06:08,609 --> 00:06:13,303
The songs were just songsbased on my emotion at the time

114
00:06:13,407 --> 00:06:15,789
[drums]

115
00:06:15,892 --> 00:06:21,726
[SINGING] I could waiting forthis moment for all my life,

116
00:06:21,829 --> 00:06:31,114
oh Lord, I can feel it, yeah.

117
00:06:31,218 --> 00:06:36,568
I can feel it, yeah.

118
00:06:36,672 --> 00:06:40,469
I can feel it coming
in the air tonight.

119
00:06:55,967 --> 00:07:03,837
Been waiting for this momentfor all my life, my life.

120
00:07:03,940 --> 00:07:04,734
Oh!

121
00:07:07,427 --> 00:07:09,877
I was cutting the
album in America,

122
00:07:09,981 --> 00:07:13,053
and this legendary figureof Ahmet Ertegun who started

123
00:07:13,156 --> 00:07:14,848
the company in
the Atlantic Music

124
00:07:14,951 --> 00:07:17,713
came to the cutting sessionin New York and he said--

125
00:07:17,816 --> 00:07:20,923
he literally, he just
faced it up and said,

126
00:07:21,026 --> 00:07:24,513
this sounds great, man.

127
00:07:24,616 --> 00:07:28,655
I had a cut of that,
of in the air tonight.

128
00:07:28,758 --> 00:07:31,934
And whenever anybody
brought me, that people

129
00:07:32,037 --> 00:07:36,421
would come in and bringme, as they do all the time

130
00:07:36,525 --> 00:07:38,527
demo records of a group.

131
00:07:38,630 --> 00:07:41,426
They would play me what
they thought was a hit.

132
00:07:41,530 --> 00:07:45,119
I would say listen, that soundsvery good, but listen to this.

133
00:07:45,223 --> 00:07:47,674
And I put that on,
and they would say,

134
00:07:47,777 --> 00:07:48,847
my God, what is that?

135
00:07:48,951 --> 00:07:50,642
That is fantastic.

136
00:07:50,746 --> 00:07:53,024
I said, it's got
to be close to--

137
00:07:53,127 --> 00:07:54,715
you won't get as good
as this, but you've

138
00:07:54,819 --> 00:07:58,374
got to be close to it if youwant to have a hit record.

139
00:07:58,478 --> 00:08:00,514
From my-- one of my
heroes to say that,

140
00:08:00,618 --> 00:08:03,483
gave me a lot of confidenceto what I'd been doing.

141
00:08:03,586 --> 00:08:05,277
Which I was still needing.

142
00:08:05,381 --> 00:08:07,556
And we went from there.

143
00:08:12,664 --> 00:08:13,527
All right, Phil Collins here.

144
00:08:13,631 --> 00:08:15,840
Who's that?
RADIO: Phil Collins?

145
00:08:15,943 --> 00:08:17,186
Wow.

146
00:08:17,289 --> 00:08:19,050
I just wanted to know,
we all know how you made

147
00:08:19,153 --> 00:08:20,361
your solo album and everything.

148
00:08:20,465 --> 00:08:22,467
We want to know
like what effects

149
00:08:22,571 --> 00:08:23,779
does that have on Genesis?

150
00:08:27,403 --> 00:08:28,991
PHIL COLLINS: Before Istarted singing with Genesis

151
00:08:29,094 --> 00:08:30,648
I really didn't
care about lyrics.

152
00:08:30,751 --> 00:08:34,652
It was the sound of the voice,and the melody it was singing,

153
00:08:34,755 --> 00:08:36,930
and the groove of the tune.

154
00:08:37,033 --> 00:08:38,345
And then I started to
sing and I realized

155
00:08:38,448 --> 00:08:39,760
that the voice is the
thing that actually

156
00:08:39,864 --> 00:08:41,175
communicates to people.

157
00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:42,452
[MUSIC - GENISIS, "BEHIND THE LINES"]

158
00:08:42,556 --> 00:08:45,041
[SINGING] I held the bookso tightly in my hand.

159
00:08:45,145 --> 00:08:48,873
I saw your picture,
heard you call my name.

160
00:08:51,876 --> 00:08:54,430
There was something strange--

161
00:08:54,534 --> 00:08:57,916
Pre-Genisis I felt like I wasplaying a part, sometimes,

162
00:08:58,020 --> 00:08:59,262
rather than being me.

163
00:08:59,366 --> 00:09:01,748
You know even when I
was singing my lyrics,

164
00:09:01,851 --> 00:09:04,026
I felt that it wasn't really me.

165
00:09:04,129 --> 00:09:09,721
[SINGING] You gave me no reason,and you gave me no warning,

166
00:09:09,825 --> 00:09:13,553
but I was with you
right by your side.

167
00:09:13,656 --> 00:09:15,658
He was the original
the drummer of the band,

168
00:09:15,762 --> 00:09:17,729
and that was what he originallywas chosen for an everything.

169
00:09:17,833 --> 00:09:19,110
But we always knew
he had a nice voice,

170
00:09:19,213 --> 00:09:20,939
and then obviously he tookover when Peter Gabriel

171
00:09:21,043 --> 00:09:22,872
left doing the lead vocals.

172
00:09:22,976 --> 00:09:24,184
And I think he
developed as a singer.

173
00:09:24,287 --> 00:09:27,256
And obviously I think thefact the first album came out

174
00:09:27,359 --> 00:09:31,640
so well makes you realizeyou always had in his mind

175
00:09:31,743 --> 00:09:33,020
an idea of how things should be.

176
00:09:33,124 --> 00:09:34,332
And for the first
time I could do it

177
00:09:34,435 --> 00:09:37,162
exactly how he wanted to do it.

178
00:09:37,266 --> 00:09:39,579
And it came out great, sohe's always had this sort of--

179
00:09:39,682 --> 00:09:40,787
there's always a
very good arranger,

180
00:09:40,890 --> 00:09:43,513
I think, in Phil's head.

181
00:09:43,617 --> 00:09:45,412
One day we'd finished
the backing track

182
00:09:45,515 --> 00:09:48,795
of "Behind the Lines," and wewanted to clean some tracks up,

183
00:09:48,898 --> 00:09:52,005
stuff we didn't need anymoreso we could do some vocals.

184
00:09:52,108 --> 00:09:56,699
And we ran the tape at doublespeed just to short of--

185
00:09:56,803 --> 00:09:57,942
time was money.

186
00:09:58,045 --> 00:10:00,807
And then suddenly this othersong appeared, you know,

187
00:10:00,910 --> 00:10:03,119
and sometimes-- it's likethat with the Beatles records.

188
00:10:03,223 --> 00:10:05,639
Put one double speed,sometimes something else,

189
00:10:05,743 --> 00:10:07,607
you hear something else.

190
00:10:07,710 --> 00:10:09,954
[music going fast]

191
00:10:23,381 --> 00:10:25,970
We played it back
at a high speed,

192
00:10:26,073 --> 00:10:27,627
and it sounded very
like sort of a Michael,

193
00:10:27,730 --> 00:10:30,353
Jackson kind of funky track, andwe all kind of got off on it.

194
00:10:33,460 --> 00:10:35,945
Obviously that
stayed in his mind,

195
00:10:36,049 --> 00:10:37,706
and he sort of drew from that.

196
00:10:46,059 --> 00:10:47,336
It sounds a little
over hip, now.

197
00:10:47,439 --> 00:10:51,098
But it's actually,
at the time, it was--

198
00:10:51,202 --> 00:10:53,031
[SINGING] I held the bookso tightly in my hand,

199
00:10:53,135 --> 00:10:55,862
I saw your picture,
heard you call my name.

200
00:11:00,107 --> 00:11:03,317
Basically I wanted to do
the track just for this.

201
00:11:03,421 --> 00:11:04,594
Just for the horns, really.

202
00:11:04,698 --> 00:11:07,839
Just those-- they
just have that.

203
00:11:07,943 --> 00:11:12,672
[SINGING] You gave me no reason,and you gave me no warning,

204
00:11:12,775 --> 00:11:17,607
but I was with you,
right by your side.

205
00:11:17,711 --> 00:11:21,542
Just give me the strength,so I can help you.

206
00:11:21,646 --> 00:11:25,926
And I can be stronger if
you don't frighten me.

207
00:11:29,516 --> 00:11:33,313
[inaudible] not
something I felt before,

208
00:11:33,416 --> 00:11:38,283
but I [inaudible] I wonder why.

209
00:11:38,387 --> 00:11:41,735
HUGH PEDGHAM: People didn'thave black horn sections

210
00:11:41,839 --> 00:11:44,220
on their songs in those days.

211
00:11:44,324 --> 00:11:49,605
It sounds crazy to say thatnow, but American radio wouldn't

212
00:11:49,709 --> 00:11:51,572
play some of Phil's
songs to start with,

213
00:11:51,676 --> 00:11:56,094
because the white guywith a black horn section,

214
00:11:56,198 --> 00:11:58,131
that's not right, you know.

215
00:11:58,234 --> 00:11:59,546
That should be RandB music.

216
00:11:59,649 --> 00:12:00,616
Everybody should black.

217
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,169
You know, everybody
should be white.

218
00:12:02,273 --> 00:12:05,103
And it's amazing that only20 years ago attitudes

219
00:12:05,207 --> 00:12:09,004
like that still existed.

220
00:12:09,107 --> 00:12:11,834
We didn't know who PhilCollins was as far as the horn

221
00:12:11,938 --> 00:12:14,319
section was concerned, at all.

222
00:12:14,423 --> 00:12:15,976
There was some
inference that he played

223
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,358
with a group called
Genesis, which didn't

224
00:12:18,461 --> 00:12:19,808
mean anything to us, neither.

225
00:12:19,911 --> 00:12:21,188
We didn't know.

226
00:12:21,292 --> 00:12:25,089
We didn't know anything abouthim at that particular time.

227
00:12:25,192 --> 00:12:28,886
He wanted a certain sound, hewanted that particular sound,

228
00:12:28,989 --> 00:12:31,336
and he would get those players.

229
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,442
And that's how we
evolved around it.

230
00:12:33,545 --> 00:12:36,928
And so Phil would always give ussome challenging things to do,

231
00:12:37,032 --> 00:12:39,897
and he would leave
me the ability

232
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,107
to write at my own
discretion, and there

233
00:12:43,210 --> 00:12:45,143
were certain things
that he favored

234
00:12:45,247 --> 00:12:46,627
that he would like to hear.

235
00:12:46,731 --> 00:12:50,839
So he has an ear, also, forwhat thing you should do.

236
00:12:50,942 --> 00:12:52,772
[horn playing]

237
00:12:52,875 --> 00:12:57,190
Trumpets are cool,
and the high bit, right?

238
00:12:57,293 --> 00:12:59,606
They turned it around,but it just sounded good.

239
00:12:59,709 --> 00:13:01,953
So as long as it
takes, it'll work.

240
00:13:02,057 --> 00:13:04,059
You know [inaudible].

241
00:13:04,162 --> 00:13:06,337

242
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,098
Tom Tom would
just say, bar 49.

243
00:13:09,202 --> 00:13:11,066
Bar 49.

244
00:13:11,169 --> 00:13:12,999
And then he just go like this.

245
00:13:13,102 --> 00:13:16,071
It was a very
democratic society

246
00:13:16,174 --> 00:13:20,040
in the recording sessions,whether he liked it or not.

247
00:13:20,144 --> 00:13:23,492
And it was like you'd
be living on glass.

248
00:13:23,595 --> 00:13:27,220
Especially when you weren'tquite ready to record.

249
00:13:27,323 --> 00:13:30,671
What's happening is our
punches are very tight.

250

The machine is not fast as me.

251
00:13:33,674 --> 00:13:35,228
And neither is you.

252
00:13:35,331 --> 00:13:37,057
Hey.

253
00:13:37,161 --> 00:13:38,334
PRODUCER: And then
you'd say something

254
00:13:38,438 --> 00:13:40,371
like, well, I'm not
really ready yet,

255
00:13:40,474 --> 00:13:42,891
and he'd go into this
sort of long thing.

256
00:13:42,994 --> 00:13:48,620
Now you tell me why you werenot able to record or something,

257
00:13:48,724 --> 00:13:49,863
you know.

258
00:13:49,967 --> 00:13:52,832
And then go off about buyingsugar in the supermarket

259
00:13:52,935 --> 00:13:54,143
or something.

260
00:13:54,247 --> 00:13:55,351
It was like, where?

261
00:13:55,455 --> 00:13:58,768

AHMET ERTEGUN: Face
value is a record which

264
00:14:08,433 --> 00:14:11,712
has a lot of black influence.

265
00:14:11,816 --> 00:14:13,611
And that's also one
of the things that

266
00:14:13,714 --> 00:14:17,477
made it an international hit.

267

His feelings and his
soul are expressed

268
00:14:21,895 --> 00:14:26,935
in terms very much influencedby black American music.

269
00:14:27,038 --> 00:14:29,834
[SINGING] It was strange,I could not look away.

270
00:14:29,938 --> 00:14:34,666
I wanted to be there,
I wanted to go.

273
00:14:43,675 --> 00:14:45,332
that he wanted to
make, and no one

274
00:14:45,436 --> 00:14:47,990
else had any influence on it.

275
00:14:48,094 --> 00:14:50,579
And for him it was avery exciting experience.

276
00:14:50,682 --> 00:14:54,031
Suddenly he had all
these toys to play with.

Horns and suddenly

00:14:57,241 --> 00:15:00,485
he could he could think in termsof, let's have a horn section.

an area that he'd

Which was literally allabout, bar mentioning names,

288
00:15:34,381 --> 00:15:35,210
it was about kids.

289
00:15:35,313 --> 00:15:37,177
It was about what was happening.

290
00:15:37,281 --> 00:15:42,079
It was about my
problems, my situation.

Actually it's the
kind of song you could

do differently, now that--

312
00:17:26,114 --> 00:17:27,667

322

as letters, messages,

a different look.

of the mannerisms

351
00:19:37,969 --> 00:19:43,112
It's funny seeing half yourlife go before your eyes.

352
00:19:43,216 --> 00:19:46,461
But, yeah.

353
00:19:46,564 --> 00:19:51,086
Obviously sort of
change from being--

354
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:53,744
of course you can sing
I'll miss you, babe.

355
00:19:53,847 --> 00:19:56,125
Better than it sounds,
I miss you, babe.

356
00:19:56,229 --> 00:19:57,541
It doesn't sound very
nice when it's said.

357
00:19:57,644 --> 00:20:00,923
But I mean it went from thatkind of quite a sad lyric,

358
00:20:01,027 --> 00:20:03,098
I suppose, to sort
of much more ironic,

359
00:20:03,202 --> 00:20:05,238
which was I missed again.

360
00:20:05,342 --> 00:20:06,308
It was like I missed again.

361
00:20:06,412 --> 00:20:07,206
Yeah.

362
00:20:07,309 --> 00:20:10,036
Which is funnier.

363
00:20:10,139 --> 00:20:12,141
I felt more comfortable
with that, obviously.

364
00:20:12,245 --> 00:20:14,799
But the tempo is obviouslythe main thing that changed.

365
00:20:14,903 --> 00:20:22,842
It became this Motown, theclassic Motown drum fill.

366
00:20:22,945 --> 00:20:25,293
[drums]

367
00:20:32,955 --> 00:20:35,786
[SINGING] Ba-dum, brum-ba-ba.

368
00:20:35,889 --> 00:20:39,686
Bap ba dap bup.

369
00:20:39,790 --> 00:20:45,934
So you finally came rightout and said it, girl.

370
00:20:46,037 --> 00:20:48,350
What took you so long?

371
00:20:48,454 --> 00:20:50,041
It's not so much hurt, now.

372
00:20:50,145 --> 00:20:55,150
It's more anger in the lyric.

373
00:20:55,254 --> 00:21:06,161
But-- Some people, like
Shankar for example,

374
00:21:06,265 --> 00:21:09,164
I didn't really know
what kind of role

375
00:21:09,268 --> 00:21:12,305
he could have in the album,I just liked what he did.

376
00:21:12,409 --> 00:21:14,894
I liked him as a person andjust wanted him on the record.

377
00:21:14,997 --> 00:21:17,206
I just wanted him to be
part of this experience.

378
00:21:17,310 --> 00:21:19,933
When he came up at
his first solo record,

379
00:21:20,037 --> 00:21:22,902
people weren't sure what kindof record it was going to be.

380
00:21:23,005 --> 00:21:24,904
At that time they weren't sure.

381
00:21:25,007 --> 00:21:28,079
They thought maybe it isgoing to be like a fusion

382
00:21:28,183 --> 00:21:29,978
record, jazz rockrecord, instrumental kind

383
00:21:30,081 --> 00:21:31,186
of record or something else.

384
00:21:31,290 --> 00:21:33,292
And in a way it's kind
of good, because it

385
00:21:33,395 --> 00:21:35,604
gives him more freedom.

386
00:21:35,708 --> 00:21:38,952
He's an Indian
musician, obviously

387
00:21:39,056 --> 00:21:45,200
can play in that world asone of the finest violinists.

388
00:21:45,304 --> 00:21:49,446
And here I was giving hima four chord song to play.

389
00:21:49,549 --> 00:21:52,034
Dink dink dink dink dink
dink dink dink dink.

390
00:21:52,138 --> 00:21:53,657
You know it's
underplaying the guy,

391
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,281
but he wanted to be part ofthis experience, too, so.

392
00:21:57,385 --> 00:21:58,834
Sometimes you get people
for specific jobs,

393
00:21:58,938 --> 00:22:00,180
and other times you
just say sort of say,

394
00:22:00,284 --> 00:22:01,906
I'd like you to do something.

395
00:22:02,010 --> 00:22:04,288
Can you find a
hole for yourself?

396
00:22:04,392 --> 00:22:06,670
[bass playing]

397
00:22:12,745 --> 00:22:14,022
Alphonso Johnson.

398
00:22:14,125 --> 00:22:17,474
Alphonso Johnson was one ofmy heroes from Weather Report.

399
00:22:20,822 --> 00:22:23,687
It's almost like alittle sentence, you know?

400
00:22:23,790 --> 00:22:26,655
It like the beginning
of a sentence.

401
00:22:26,759 --> 00:22:29,417
And it's kind of like theafter thought of the reply.

402
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,247
[bass playing]

403
00:22:36,493 --> 00:22:37,286
This track.

404
00:22:40,013 --> 00:22:42,913
It had that real just Earth,Wind and Fire quality to it,

405
00:22:43,016 --> 00:22:43,810
you know?

406
00:22:43,914 --> 00:22:45,087
It really did.

407
00:22:45,191 --> 00:22:49,747
But yet Phil somehow managedto kind of put his own--

408
00:22:49,851 --> 00:22:54,234
because of his vocal sound, itdefinitely had his stamp on it,

409
00:22:54,338 --> 00:22:55,374
you know.

410
00:22:55,477 --> 00:23:00,620
[SINGING] I think about
it from time to time,

411
00:23:00,724 --> 00:23:04,728
when I'm lonely, and I'm alone.

412
00:23:04,831 --> 00:23:07,075
PHIL COLLINS: I used tohave these outrageous Earth,

413
00:23:07,178 --> 00:23:08,766
Wind and Fire type suits.

414
00:23:08,870 --> 00:23:12,494
And considering I was
pretty boring to watch,

415
00:23:12,598 --> 00:23:14,669
I mean I just sort of
stood there and sung.

416
00:23:14,772 --> 00:23:18,258
I was still finding myfeet really as a performer.

417
00:23:18,362 --> 00:23:21,607
They added an amazingpresence to the stage show.

418
00:23:21,710 --> 00:23:24,057
Because it gave people
something else to watch.

419
00:23:24,161 --> 00:23:25,542
[SINGING] I missed again.

420
00:23:25,645 --> 00:23:29,960
I think I missed again, ah-ah.

421
00:23:30,063 --> 00:23:34,343
Yes, I missed again, oh, yeah.

422
00:23:34,447 --> 00:23:36,829
I think I missed again.

423
00:23:36,932 --> 00:23:39,728
It was the first sort
of proper album that

424
00:23:39,832 --> 00:23:42,041
I'd co-produced with somebody.

425
00:23:42,144 --> 00:23:43,905
So I didn't have anythingto measure it by,

426
00:23:44,008 --> 00:23:48,841
I just remember I was 26 orsomething, and going to LA,

427
00:23:48,944 --> 00:23:49,911
and--

428
00:23:50,014 --> 00:23:51,913
you don't feel at
any time that you're

429
00:23:52,016 --> 00:23:55,813
making incredible recordsthat would be remembered

430
00:23:55,917 --> 00:23:57,159
20 years later, or whatever.

431
00:23:57,263 --> 00:24:02,061
But both Phil and I had thisfeeling of loving to listen

432
00:24:02,164 --> 00:24:03,890
to music that had space in it.

433
00:24:07,584 --> 00:24:12,830
We tried very hard to notput too many instruments

434
00:24:12,934 --> 00:24:14,245
onto the record.

435
00:24:14,349 --> 00:24:16,627
[MUSIC - PHIL COLLINS, "THE ROOF IS LEAKING"]

436
00:24:16,731 --> 00:24:19,043
PHIL COLLINS: [SINGING]
The roof is leaking

437
00:24:19,147 --> 00:24:22,944
and the wind is howling.

438
00:24:23,047 --> 00:24:28,570
Kids are crying 'cause
the sheets are so cold.

439
00:24:28,674 --> 00:24:33,644
Woke this morning, found
my hands were frozen.

440
00:24:33,748 --> 00:24:36,095
I've tried to fix
the fire, but you

441
00:24:36,198 --> 00:24:40,340
know the dang thing's too old.

442
00:24:40,444 --> 00:24:45,311
It was always going tobe a song about the South

443
00:24:45,414 --> 00:24:49,626
and frontiersmen, and guysthat sort of out in the middle

444
00:24:49,729 --> 00:24:52,387
of nowhere, little shack.

445
00:24:52,491 --> 00:24:55,010
When winter comes you'rethere for months, you know.

446
00:24:55,114 --> 00:24:58,255
And the wife gets pregnant,and she has her own baby,

447
00:24:58,358 --> 00:25:01,327
and you give a hand, and someonefrom next door 30 miles down

448
00:25:01,430 --> 00:25:03,640
the road comes and
gives you a hand.

449
00:25:03,743 --> 00:25:09,300
[SINGING] And me, I'm gettingstronger by the minute.

450
00:25:09,404 --> 00:25:15,686
My wife's expecting, but Ihope she can wait, 'cause

451
00:25:15,790 --> 00:25:20,139
this winter looks like it'sgonna be another bad one,

452
00:25:20,242 --> 00:25:22,624
but spring will soon be here.

453
00:25:26,732 --> 00:25:29,597
God I hope it's not late.

454
00:25:38,709 --> 00:25:41,263
It kind of stuck out a
little bit on the album

455
00:25:41,367 --> 00:25:45,336
because it was a story song,because the rest were about me.

456
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,857
But the sadness and maybe thesolitary feeling of the thing

457
00:25:48,961 --> 00:25:52,551
was probably something thatseeped in from the other songs.

458
00:25:56,865 --> 00:25:59,730
I guess I always
figured that with Eric--

459
00:25:59,834 --> 00:26:02,561
Clapton was going to
play slide guitar.

460
00:26:02,664 --> 00:26:05,529
So we'd just do it
as a live thing.

461
00:26:05,633 --> 00:26:07,773
And in fact we did
try with Clapton.

462
00:26:11,604 --> 00:26:15,263
You know in those days
we all enjoyed a drink.

463
00:26:15,366 --> 00:26:17,714
And we enjoyed a
drink that night.

464
00:26:17,817 --> 00:26:19,474
In fact he enjoyed a
drink before he came,

465
00:26:19,578 --> 00:26:22,097
and then he enjoyed
a drink with me.

466
00:26:22,201 --> 00:26:23,789
But I put Eric through
hell with this.

467
00:26:23,892 --> 00:26:28,207
And actually listening to it,you probably got it closer

468
00:26:28,310 --> 00:26:30,623
than I thought at the time.

469
00:26:30,727 --> 00:26:33,039
[inaudible]

470
00:26:38,976 --> 00:26:45,604
See what I was after wassomething kind of precise.

471
00:26:45,707 --> 00:26:48,020
And just listening to, this isthe first time I've heard this

472
00:26:48,123 --> 00:26:51,264
since the session 21 years ago.

473
00:26:51,368 --> 00:26:53,163
He actually was
playing what should

474
00:26:53,266 --> 00:26:54,198
have been played, really.

475
00:26:54,302 --> 00:26:55,372
I mean the sound
of the doubront,

476
00:26:55,475 --> 00:26:58,686
you know that scratch,
it's much more funky.

477
00:26:58,789 --> 00:27:04,105
[SINGING] It's been months nowsince we heard from our Mary.

478
00:27:04,208 --> 00:27:09,041
I wonder if she
ever made the coast.

479
00:27:09,144 --> 00:27:14,494
Well she and her young man,they both moved out there.

480
00:27:14,598 --> 00:27:21,881
I sure hope they write,
just to let us know.

481
00:27:21,985 --> 00:27:22,951
It's much blusier.

482
00:27:23,055 --> 00:27:23,952
TONY BANKS: Yeah.

483
00:27:24,056 --> 00:27:26,714
Here's what ended
up on the record.

484
00:27:26,817 --> 00:27:30,027
[SINGING] Ma and Pa livedhere, and theirs before them.

485
00:27:30,131 --> 00:27:35,792
They tried their hardest
to make it a home.

486
00:27:35,895 --> 00:27:36,965
Seems so long now--

487
00:27:37,069 --> 00:27:38,795
It was that kind of song,I just felt you should

488
00:27:38,898 --> 00:27:40,451
have been done in one go.

489
00:27:40,555 --> 00:27:42,453
Which is kind of
the spontaneity.

490
00:27:42,557 --> 00:27:44,145
Of because I didn't
get to in one go

491
00:27:44,248 --> 00:27:46,388
I went for something
else which ended up

492
00:27:46,492 --> 00:27:49,115
being a little bit too perfect.

493
00:27:49,219 --> 00:27:51,014
[SINGING] But the
roof is leaking,

494
00:27:51,117 --> 00:27:53,982
and the wind is howling.

495
00:27:54,086 --> 00:27:58,884
The kids are crying 'causethe sheets are so cold.

496
00:27:58,987 --> 00:28:03,336
When I woke this morningfound my hands were frozen.

497
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:10,689
I tried to fix the fire but youknow, the dang thing's too old.

498
00:28:10,792 --> 00:28:14,693
And me, oh, I'm getting
stronger by the minute.

499
00:28:14,796 --> 00:28:16,073
TONY BANKS: When I
listen to Phil's album

500
00:28:16,177 --> 00:28:18,558
again what strikes
me is that there's

501
00:28:18,662 --> 00:28:22,114
all these different varietiesof music on this one record.

502
00:28:22,217 --> 00:28:25,531
It has sounds similar to theBeatles and Weather Report,

503
00:28:25,634 --> 00:28:28,465
Motown music, a bit
of Genisis style.

504
00:28:28,568 --> 00:28:32,780
Which I think is almost nextto impossible to do today.

505
00:28:32,883 --> 00:28:36,197
I think if you were to presentto a record company this album,

506
00:28:36,300 --> 00:28:37,854
say here I'm thinking
about doing this,

507
00:28:37,957 --> 00:28:40,063
could you sign me
for this album.

508
00:28:40,166 --> 00:28:41,305
I think they wouldn't.

509
00:28:41,409 --> 00:28:45,482
I think even if Phil waspresenting this album today

510
00:28:45,585 --> 00:28:46,932
they'd go, well,
you know that's not

511
00:28:47,035 --> 00:28:48,899
really what we're looking for.

512
00:28:49,003 --> 00:28:50,729
[SINGING] De-ayo!

513
00:28:50,832 --> 00:28:53,524
De-ayo!

514
00:28:53,628 --> 00:28:54,802
De-ayo!

515
00:28:54,905 --> 00:28:56,182
TOM TOM WASHINGTON: At thetime we worked with Phil,

516
00:28:56,286 --> 00:28:57,701
we didn't care anything
about record sales.

517
00:28:57,805 --> 00:29:01,153
So when we got together wealways played the music which

518
00:29:01,256 --> 00:29:04,225
we enjoyed, and we neverthought that it was going

519
00:29:04,328 --> 00:29:06,365
to be as successful as it was.

520
00:29:11,508 --> 00:29:13,234
PHIL COLLINS: The
way the song starts

521
00:29:13,337 --> 00:29:15,995

that song starts to me

524
00:29:22,657 --> 00:29:23,623

a Disney cartoon.

All those fills, Tom
Tom arranged the horns.

542
00:30:42,012 --> 00:30:45,913
He had notated certainthings with dots and dashes.

543
00:30:46,016 --> 00:30:48,329
Looks sort of like
the Morse code to me.

544
00:30:48,432 --> 00:30:52,091
And as the music played he wouldpoint to the dot or the dash,

545
00:30:52,195 --> 00:30:54,197
and I would look at
him and say, yeah, man.

546
00:30:54,300 --> 00:30:56,302
I didn't know what this meant.

547
00:30:56,406 --> 00:31:00,859
But he would point to thisand say, dat dat dat da dat,

548
00:31:00,962 --> 00:31:02,274
you know.

549
00:31:02,377 --> 00:31:05,449
And whatever that meant, this iswhere he predated Max Headroom.

550
00:31:05,553 --> 00:31:07,693
Now what was so
interesting about it,

551
00:31:07,796 --> 00:31:11,731
he was able to sing phoneticallywhat he meant by the dots

552
00:31:11,835 --> 00:31:12,974
and dashes.

him being a drummer,

559
00:31:22,881 --> 00:31:24,744
maybe this was
some kind of way he

560
00:31:24,848 --> 00:31:26,815

of times, I don't

562
00:31:28,196 --> 00:31:31,544

00:31:37,033 --> 00:31:37,930

568
00:31:58,192 --> 00:32:00,746
and they were all laughingand having a great time,

569
00:32:00,849 --> 00:32:03,714
and we were doing "In The AirTonight" and songs like this.

570
00:32:03,818 --> 00:32:05,613
And then these guys
came in laughing,

571
00:32:05,716 --> 00:32:08,685
and Lui Lui Satterfield
was sitting there.

572
00:32:08,788 --> 00:32:12,068
He said, you know Phil,
he is this amazing cat.

573
00:32:12,171 --> 00:32:14,001
He says this guy,
you walk in, you'll

look at him you think he lookslike a farmer from England.

And then he sits down at adrum, he's hip as anybody else.

And I remember
Louis saying that.

577
00:32:21,870 --> 00:32:24,908

of exactly what it looked like.

Here's Phil, very
casual, and he looked

00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,778

as a combination of things,which he was good at.

584
00:32:38,715 --> 00:32:39,992
He used to do it all the time.

We would grab things from him,put it together like this.

598
00:33:23,967 --> 00:33:27,488
but it didn't appear to me thathe was in any particular pain.

599
00:33:27,591 --> 00:33:29,524
I think he was just
happy to be there.

600
00:33:29,628 --> 00:33:32,631
But he was also probably
a little insecure

601
00:33:32,734 --> 00:33:33,977
about what he's doing here.

602
00:33:34,081 --> 00:33:35,875
Because he doesn't know howthis is going to turn out.

This is very new to him.

And when you were in a bandlike for instance in Genesis.

605
00:33:40,363 --> 00:33:42,123
If you were in
Genesis you always

606
00:33:42,227 --> 00:33:46,231
had the other two guys to feedoff of and to run ideas by.

607

This must be love is enteringthe next phase of my life.

that a lot of
people think it is.

618

By the time it was
actually being record--

619
00:34:27,858 --> 00:34:30,137

certainly by the time

620
00:34:30,240 --> 00:34:34,658
it came out, as I was
in another relationship.

621
00:34:34,762 --> 00:34:42,045
So this is kind of a
very optimistic song.

622
00:34:42,149 --> 00:34:44,254
I had the chords,
obviously the song.

623
00:34:44,358 --> 00:34:46,532
But then Alphonso
came up with this--

624
00:34:46,636 --> 00:34:54,333
de-da-uh, which
was a great hook.

625
00:34:54,437 --> 00:34:56,473

something to thread

626
00:34:56,577 --> 00:34:59,925
through the actual
motion of the song.

627
00:35:00,028 --> 00:35:03,549
So he didn't want just
a plain RandB baseline.

628
00:35:03,653 --> 00:35:06,207
And yet it couldn't
be too complicated.

629
00:35:06,311 --> 00:35:10,349
So just using bare
instinct, I started

630
00:35:10,453 --> 00:35:14,905

631
00:35:15,009 --> 00:35:17,149

It could be side effects

[MUSIC - PHIL COLLINS, "TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS"]

694
00:39:17,147 --> 00:39:18,356
[SINGING] It is shining.

695
00:39:22,152 --> 00:39:23,844
Nothing is labored over.

696
00:39:23,947 --> 00:39:26,294
Nothing is labored over.

697
00:39:26,398 --> 00:39:27,813
Especially on my records.

698
00:39:27,917 --> 00:39:33,232
[SINGING] That you maysee the meaning of within.

699
00:39:33,336 --> 00:39:36,063
I included "Tomorrow
Never Knows"

700
00:39:36,166 --> 00:39:39,618
because it's always been oneof my favorite Beatles songs.

701
00:39:39,722 --> 00:39:45,175
I mean alongside the realmelodic songs, [inaudible]

702
00:39:45,279 --> 00:39:47,039
and "I Want to Hold Your
Hand" and "If I Fell,"

703
00:39:47,143 --> 00:39:49,904
"Tomorrow Never Knows"
always appealed to me.

704
00:39:50,008 --> 00:39:52,424
The drums are great on it.

705
00:39:52,528 --> 00:39:54,806
And I've always felt thatthere's inside that song--

706
00:39:54,909 --> 00:39:56,324
the version of that song--

707
00:39:56,428 --> 00:40:00,743
there was a really strongmelodic song trying to get out.

708
00:40:05,851 --> 00:40:12,099
[SINGING] That love isall, and love is everyone.

709
00:40:12,202 --> 00:40:15,827
And there is trying to beJohn Lennon again, you see.

710
00:40:15,930 --> 00:40:20,245
[SINGING] It is knowing,
oh it is knowing.

711
00:40:23,697 --> 00:40:27,183

715
00:40:38,608 --> 00:40:41,784
PHIL COLLINS: [SINGING]
It is believing.

716
00:40:41,887 --> 00:40:44,062
It was an opportunity
to pay tribute.

717
00:40:44,165 --> 00:40:45,995
To sort of-- for me anyway.

718
00:40:46,098 --> 00:40:49,481
To play tribute to that
kind of pioneering stuff

719
00:40:49,585 --> 00:40:50,378
that they did, really.

720
00:40:53,209 --> 00:40:55,314
So we got everything in there.

721
00:40:55,418 --> 00:40:57,420
Guitars, horns.

722
00:41:01,010 --> 00:41:03,944
What's this?

723
00:41:04,047 --> 00:41:05,428
That's backwards violin.

724
00:41:09,018 --> 00:41:12,331
That is a section
two difference.

725
00:41:12,435 --> 00:41:15,749
PHIL COLLINS: That's"Hand in Hand" backwards.

726
00:41:15,852 --> 00:41:18,199
It's slowed down, and backwards.

727
00:41:18,303 --> 00:41:21,444
La La La, La La La La La.

728
00:41:21,548 --> 00:41:23,860
[speeded up music]

729
00:41:30,902 --> 00:41:33,974
I want to assure you that nodrugs were take at this session

730
00:41:34,077 --> 00:41:36,666
whatsoever.

731
00:41:36,770 --> 00:41:41,084
[SINGING] That love isall, and love is everyone.

732
00:41:45,641 --> 00:41:50,922
It is knowing, oh it is knowing.

733
00:41:54,995 --> 00:41:56,790
I did make it
quite clear that I

734
00:41:56,893 --> 00:42:01,622
wanted to be involved at everylevel, because this was my--

735
00:42:01,726 --> 00:42:02,968
you know this is a
very personal record.

736
00:42:03,072 --> 00:42:06,938
It was my life, and
it was my music,

737
00:42:07,041 --> 00:42:10,838
and I wanted to do
all the cover writing.

738
00:42:10,942 --> 00:42:13,910
The label, the bits
around it, the outside,

739
00:42:14,014 --> 00:42:17,604
all the legal stuff I wrote,which normally is just printed,

740
00:42:17,707 --> 00:42:18,881
and no one ever
reads it, you know.

741
00:42:18,984 --> 00:42:21,677
But I just thought this isthere, I'm going to do it.

742
00:42:21,780 --> 00:42:22,850
This is my life.

743
00:42:22,954 --> 00:42:25,128
This is my thing.

744
00:42:25,232 --> 00:42:26,716
And I chose the photographs.

745
00:42:26,820 --> 00:42:30,064
Chose the press release photos,everything had to go by me.

746
00:42:30,168 --> 00:42:31,341
And still does.

747
00:42:31,445 --> 00:42:33,240
Everything still does
with every record.

748
00:42:33,343 --> 00:42:36,864
Because I believe that someoneis going to buy that record,

749
00:42:36,968 --> 00:42:40,558
and I think this is my idea.

750
00:42:40,661 --> 00:42:43,388
The fact that some people thinkall my record have my face

751
00:42:43,491 --> 00:42:44,941
on it is an egotistical thing.

752
00:42:45,045 --> 00:42:47,910
Is I mean you wouldn't put aface like this on the cover,

753
00:42:48,013 --> 00:42:49,808
really, if you wanted tosell a record, would you?

754
00:42:49,912 --> 00:42:51,534
I mean the idea of
putting it on the cover

755
00:42:51,638 --> 00:42:56,643
just to try and get asclose as you could to almost

756
00:42:56,746 --> 00:42:58,921
see inside the person's head.

757
00:42:59,024 --> 00:43:02,545
Because this is what was
going on inside my head.

758
00:43:02,649 --> 00:43:04,651
SIMON DRAPER: 1980 he wasa time when we really were

759
00:43:04,754 --> 00:43:06,273
having to come of age really.

760
00:43:06,376 --> 00:43:11,174
And signing Phil was
in a way an attempt

761
00:43:11,278 --> 00:43:14,937
by me to turn Virgin into amore mainstream record company.

762
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,698
But in fact, it turned out tobe something else altogether,

763
00:43:17,802 --> 00:43:19,976
and broke completely newground, and was enormously

764
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:24,981
important for us in terms of wehad a major crossover record,

765
00:43:25,085 --> 00:43:28,744
and helped to change
Virgin all together.

766
00:43:28,847 --> 00:43:31,125
[MUSIC - PHIL COLLINS, "IF LEAVING ME IS EASY"]

767
00:43:31,229 --> 00:43:35,889
[SINGING] I kept
those pictures,

768
00:43:35,992 --> 00:43:42,136
but I hide my feelings
so no one knows.

769
00:43:53,561 --> 00:44:01,569
Oh sure, my friends
all come round.

770
00:44:01,673 --> 00:44:06,436
I'm in a crowd,
but I'm on my own.

771
00:44:06,540 --> 00:44:15,514
I think this song is, from therecord, probably my favorite.

772
00:44:15,618 --> 00:44:17,689
And that's probably includingin the "In the Air Tonight."

773
00:44:17,793 --> 00:44:18,932
I've just played
"In the Air Tonight"

774
00:44:19,035 --> 00:44:20,450
so many times since I wrote it.

775
00:44:20,554 --> 00:44:26,802
Whereas this, this kindof captured an atmosphere

776
00:44:26,905 --> 00:44:28,907
which was there all the time.

777
00:44:29,011 --> 00:44:32,186
Actually we did it on thetour, the first tour we did.

778
00:44:32,290 --> 00:44:34,741
But I got tired of people
talking through it,

779
00:44:34,844 --> 00:44:35,638
so I dropped it.

780
00:44:40,988 --> 00:44:42,334
[SINGING] See I heard

781
00:44:42,438 --> 00:44:44,405
Phil would be playing
this delicate song,

782
00:44:44,509 --> 00:44:46,476
and it would just
be going along.

783
00:44:46,580 --> 00:44:48,824
[guitar playing]

784
00:44:48,927 --> 00:44:52,620
And then somebody would
whistle really loud.

785
00:44:52,724 --> 00:44:54,553
I actually remember himgetting angry at one point.

786
00:44:54,657 --> 00:44:56,210
He goes, shut up!

787
00:44:56,314 --> 00:44:57,729
And it's, you know--

788
00:44:57,833 --> 00:45:00,801
Because you're trying to do thisdelicate song, and you just--

789
00:45:00,905 --> 00:45:02,734
it was an American
audience, of course.

790
00:45:02,838 --> 00:45:05,219
When I came out onstage here tonight I said,

791
00:45:05,323 --> 00:45:09,568
this Dallas audience wantsto listen to the quiet songs.

792
00:45:09,672 --> 00:45:10,984
Am I right?

793
00:45:15,609 --> 00:45:16,403
I hope so.

794
00:45:22,340 --> 00:45:25,584
Just these two
chords here are so

795
00:45:25,688 --> 00:45:31,901
evocative to me of Isaac Hayesor "You Know I Love You, Babe."

796
00:45:37,355 --> 00:45:38,943
I didn't mean to say thosethings about your mother.

797
00:45:44,293 --> 00:45:50,886
Every moment on this, all thegung, gung, were choreographed.

798
00:45:50,989 --> 00:45:54,337
I did it on the drums.

799
00:45:54,441 --> 00:45:56,754
I just basically did thedrum track, and then me then

800
00:45:56,857 --> 00:45:58,894
we added the bass
doing what I did,

801
00:45:58,997 --> 00:46:01,759
and then the strings
highlighted it.

802
00:46:01,862 --> 00:46:05,728
[SINGING] Love you the same.

803
00:46:05,832 --> 00:46:07,212
That's the one thing--

804
00:46:07,316 --> 00:46:12,045
The string part that Arif Mardinarranged it was wonderful.

805
00:46:12,148 --> 00:46:14,944
It was one of the highlightsof the record, for me.

806
00:46:15,048 --> 00:46:17,015
Having him stand thereconducting this real orchestra,

807
00:46:17,119 --> 00:46:18,223
you know.

808
00:46:18,327 --> 00:46:20,087
I'm so used to synthesizedstrings at that point.

809
00:46:20,191 --> 00:46:22,434
It was lovely.

810
00:46:22,538 --> 00:46:24,367
ARIF MARDIN: The
ending of this song

811
00:46:24,471 --> 00:46:30,891
is so beautiful andserene, and he in his track

812
00:46:30,995 --> 00:46:36,863
he had stabs, almost likeyou don't expect words not

813
00:46:36,966 --> 00:46:39,210
to come up, you have anincredible like a wake up call,

814
00:46:39,313 --> 00:46:40,107
you know.

815
00:46:46,217 --> 00:46:48,046
Very, very beautiful.

816
00:46:56,158 --> 00:46:58,022
And then continues again.

817
00:46:58,125 --> 00:47:00,679
So we had that in a few places.

818
00:47:00,783 --> 00:47:03,337
And it just--

819
00:47:03,441 --> 00:47:05,512
Phil Collins built an
incredible mood there.

820
00:47:05,615 --> 00:47:08,308
And I went along with the mood,and I went along with the mood

821
00:47:08,411 --> 00:47:10,172

822
00:47:14,279 --> 00:47:28,466
[SINGING] If leaving me iseasy and you know coming back

823
00:47:28,569 --> 00:47:29,467
is harder.

824
00:47:35,507 --> 00:47:36,508
PHIL COLLINS: To
me it's an album

825
00:47:36,612 --> 00:47:38,683
of songs that I
really like, and songs

826
00:47:38,786 --> 00:47:43,205
that I don't like as much.

827
00:47:43,308 --> 00:47:44,723
Put it that way.

828
00:47:44,827 --> 00:47:51,799
I mean, I'm my own
hardest critic, really.

829
00:47:51,903 --> 00:47:54,872
So there's stuff
on there that I--

830
00:47:54,975 --> 00:47:57,288
little moments like"Tomorrow Never Knows," this,

831
00:47:57,391 --> 00:47:59,669
I guess "In the Air."

832
00:47:59,773 --> 00:48:02,120
There's things that I'mvery proud of, that capture

833
00:48:02,224 --> 00:48:04,674
those little moments in time.

834
00:48:04,778 --> 00:48:06,504
I mean it's a surprise
that you get an album

835
00:48:06,607 --> 00:48:09,438
like this from a drummer.

836
00:48:09,541 --> 00:48:12,165
I guess-- and I think peopleovercompensated and went out

837
00:48:12,268 --> 00:48:13,649
and bought it.

838
00:48:13,752 --> 00:48:16,479
Because it was a surprise thatI could actually do something

839
00:48:16,583 --> 00:48:17,722
else other than play the drums.
