In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins. Yeah it's meant to be emotional, and I'm sure it was groundbreaking in the early 80's, but damn. It just does not hold up. Plenty of things from that time still hold up, and maybe I'm a philistine that isn't receptive to this particular "slow burn" but fuck me I'd rather listen to Barney the Dinosaur in Guantanamo
It wasn't that big at the time. I mean it was a hit for him, but one of many. It's remembered for the drum fill, and that really started because of the Cadbury's gorilla advert.
It's just been memed to hell
Thank you for adding context.
The song about that one guy who could've saved that other guy from drowning but didn't? Then Phil saw it all and at his show he found him?
Yes. that song.
That's an urban legend btw
