You should watch the concert as a whole. Phil made an introduction to each and every song in the language of the country that he performed at. This is a serious song and that's why he performed it seriously. At every concert he asked the audience for a donation for the homeless. It was an amazing thing to bring this message to the people at this time.

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 "In The Air Tonight", "I Don't Care Anymore", "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)", "One More Night", "Sussudio", "Take Me Home", "Two Hearts", "A Groovy Kind Of Love", "I Wish It Would Rain Down" etc. "Another Day In Paradise" is a great song showcasing the plight of the homeless.

Perfect song for the times that many people are living in these days. Thanks Miss Bisscute🥰

One of Phil Collins' most memorable compositions and it became a massive hit in 1989 from his album 'But seriously'... the song was everywhere in 1990. Phil Collins, like many stars of the day, contributed a song that helped put the spotlight on the problem of homelessness ... not just in America but around the world... Michael Jackson recorded the song 'Man in the mirror'... Richard Marx did the song 'Children of the night'... etc. The plight of homelessness has no easy solutions... the song was basically saying that those of us who have a home and a living r enjoying 'another day in paradise'... while others who r less fortunate are suffering another day in hell... But even those of us who see the suffering and pain firsthand can do little - even spare change and alms r a drop in the bucket... U can only provide a momentary relief, but the situation of these people is untenable because they have no income or jobs (or they have jobs that don't pay enough) ... many suffer from medical issues or mental problems, while others are afflicted w/ addictions and burn whatever they can on drugs... In my case, I was homeless after being unemployed and unable to make wages because of a serious health issue... I'm still not clear yet from that situation even now. The focus should also be on refugees who are fleeing violence and conflicts... or have been driven out of their homes. They flee to foreign countries and hope for an opportunity to make a living for themselves or their families, and have to face violence from border patrols and even the public that doesn't want them there... I know what that is like. There should be a more aggressive approach to making housing affordable and employment available... Or giving refugees the opportunity to prove themselves in the economy... Not everyone can be helped... but to help those (especially children) who need help is something we should all make an effort to be charitable towards.

This song is about homelessness so he may have seemed a bit somber after performing. Also the period before this album and after took a toll on him because he was everywhere. From Genesis biggest singles album and his own solo material, as well as producing and playing with other artists. He did not take a longer break that he may have needed. But it led to the But Seriously album which is one of his best. 😊😊

He normally plays the drums, so if he needed to concentrate a bit more on the keyboard. That was an awesome live version .

The official video of this song is amazing and a MUST watch. This was a good selection. I too appreciate the live performances, particularly for Genesis and Phil's solo work. This Berlin concert is fabulous! Mr. Collins is amazing in being able to create the same sound so exactly as compared to the recording. He has such quality and attention to detail. This was just after the Berlin Wall came down, so the vibe was special. You can feel it when you watch the video of the whole concert. You will also see that he is NOT indifferent. The crowd applauds for an extended period and you can see he is somewhat embarrassed. Being very honestly humble, he is uncomfortable with adulation. He also speaks (reads phonetically from his notes) in German, asking people to donate what they can as they exit the concert, to be distributed to local homeless shelters. He did this everywhere he performed this moving song (often in the native language) and I understand personally matched the donations!

His reaction to this song is deep for him cause its about homelessness in this world and how not to take what we have in life for granted since a good amount of us are privileged

Phil Collins, in some songs, sung and played the battery at the same time. That's talent!

Its 3 degrees outside, another day of being snowed in. Thanks for making the days better with your reactions.

8:39 As usual, love your reaction Biss.❤️❤️❤️ Phil Collins is a great artist. I used to dj some parties when I was younger and Phil Collins was definitely on the play list.👍👍👍

I always thought that the one word that best describes Phil Collins is “mellow”, “chill” would be a close second. I’m not talking about his music so much as his personality. Sorta like he’s somebody’s dad who just so happens to be a world famous musician.

It is a sad song, a social commentary about the poor and homeless, and how they are treated by society. He is making a statement.

Great reaction as always. That said, the video to this song is so much more impactful.

I sat with people and watched them smile, clap their hands, and sing along to this song. Afterward, I asked them what they thought of the song. And they would be like it's such a beautiful song. I'd love to live in Paradise 🙄

Great reaction.great song.very sad,poignant song

There's some cool subtle bass stuff going on, and that was a cool little guitar lead. Phil Collins is a pretty talented song writer.

A beautiful live version of a great song by Phil Collins using his platform to help the homeless.

This song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. I think how humans, you, me, all of us, pretend to care. Mankind’s greed runs deep. While visiting friends on the coast recently I saw a huge yacht with a helicopter parked on the bow. My friend told me it belongs to a billionaire. To my way of thinking if a person has that much wealth and can ignore our brothers and sisters living on the streets, then that person has failed as a human being. Just to illustrate, if you spent $100,000 a day it would take 10 days to spend a million dollars. It would take 27 years to spend a billion.

This song was on the radio constantly in the 90s. I didn't even know who Phil Collins was, but I knew this song for sure.

This song gets me every single time. Such heart.

Magical Phill..Magical Bisscute!!

Bisscute love you ❤❤

I am very excited by this reaction of yours Miss Bisscute👍👍👍, for me Phil Collins is one of the best musicians and composers with so many great hits in his career, this song is great💓. For future reactions of him i recommend you his live performance singing the song of another great (Stevie Wonder): Uptight (Everything's Alright) from the tour (Going Back live 2010). You will love the performance. You should also react to the official Genesis video with Phil singing the song. called: "No son of mine" is a magnificent and powerful lyric and song.

I've been on both sides of the song. Having everything I need, and having next to nothing. My health has declined drastically, and I'm down on my circumstances, but I'm surviving.

the thing about this song is not the delivery, its the composition and the meaning ...:S Thtas why Phil was a genius

I spent a large part of my adolescence listening to this song, especially when I left school, on those rainy days.

Hi Biscute enjoy your reactions, for your information it well known that Phil used to collect donations at all his concerts to give to the poor and homeless in the cities where he was performing, a true humanitarian

beautiful

Love your reaction Biss , makes me smile everytime 🥰

Nice choice of song.. at the live events / shows that Phil did (and I went to all the tours he did, some more than once) they had buckets at the end of the shows to put money into and whatever the crowd put in , Phil matched it for all the towns and citys he played around the world.

I used to own this concert on DVD all the time and watch it a lot. This is one of my favorites from that show. A couple of other songs I recommend from that concert are Sussudio and Something Happened on the Way to Heaven. Great reaction Biss!! ❤🎹🔥👏

I watch all your reactions! Great job as always Bisscute! Waiting on Bob Seger "Roll me Away" and Led Zeppelin "Dazed and Confused" studio reaction!!! You will love them both!!

God it's a touching song just like in the air othe song from him

Hi Bisscute, have you watched the live version of "In the Air Tonight"...probably Phil Collins most well known performance and my personal favourite.

Beautiful song and one of the greatest instrumentals

You’re absolutely right, Biss. The tune or refrain from this song is totally recognizable and resonates in your head. I’m thinking I first heard it on the hit show Miami Vice. Also agreed he was a bit laid back in this performance, but I think that is his basic style. Sadly in 2000 he lost hearing in one ear and later had nerve neck trouble which impaired his drumming. Definitely, one of the greats esp considering his time with Genesis. 💕

This was from his July 1990 concert at Berlin's Waldbühne arena. I was in that crowd…

It’s a chill song, you’re absolutely right.

Love your reaction! I realized I still know the lyrics and sung along with this. That time you use sparklers or lighters, there were no smartphones yet! For me, the part “oh think twice” has a very special blending. Maybe if Phil Collins was playing drums here he could have given more live responses.

❤❤ maravillosa. Está. Noche. Reacciona a. Ella. Por. La. Música. Y. También. La. Letra. No me. Provoques jajaja gracias. Un. Abrazo

David Crosby sings backup in the studio version

Musically it's a simplistic song, actually wears on me, but the whole point of the song is the content and that he choose to use his abilities to bring awareness to an important issue which is seldom done. The way he does the vocals are subtle and is easier to appreciate his delivery in the studio version.

I greatly enjoy his work, and this reaction.

I love the way you role your R’s hehe

I loved your reaction Miss Bisscute💓💓, in this song Phil doesn't interact much with the crowd because of the lyrics and the meaning of the song. but if you want to see a great interaction with the crowd I suggest the live performances of Phil's tour called: Serious Hits...Live! songs: Easy lover and Don't lose my number you will enjoy them Biss.

phil collins was first famous in the band Genesis then in 80s became one of the most important pop singers of 80s , many hits radio songs of 80s and early 90s

Beautiful melody, it took me back several decades in time when I listened to it more often, I would recognize it wherever I went immediately. Bisscute, I want to suggest a reaction in Spanish, I suggest it be Camilo Sesto with the song Getzemani, performed live in 1977, which is part of the rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar. Greetings and a hug from Mexico City.

You have my true love for the rest of my life ❤️

Time for some more U2, all I want is you and where the streets have no name combo - live from Slane castle. Let’s go!🎉

Bisscute, please listen to the song again this time acknowledge the lyrics , as it is sad and about living homeless!

I love this song 🔊🖤

Great job! Love the lights!

Multumesc Bisscute; This song was to send to be a message, not so much for entertainment.

It's probably a good thing you went with the live version this time because this song was about how we're apathetic to the poor, homeless, and suffering in the world because it's gotten so common, and it's so overwhelming that we feel embarrassed that we don't know what to do about it, so, selfishly, it's easier to just ignore it, so we don't have to be confronted with the pain of others, and also feel bad ourselves. So the song is trying to bring attention to it, so we are confonted with it, and maybe we'll care more about trying to do something about it, instead or pretending it's not happening for our own benefit, but the original video, while very good, is also much more depressing. I mean, by not watching the depressing version, that's kind of the point of the song, and by watching the happier version, we're doing the very thing the song is accusing of us, but knowing you, you definitely would've been a lot more bummed out by the original video.

If you dont love the song or if you dont cry maybe you are a piece of living ice or your heart is dead.

Recommend: I know you know this song from a movie you reacted too, but I hope you listen to the full version of Linda Ronstadt's cover of Blue Bayou. The official live version is great. She was so instrumental in the formation of The Eagles, as well as her huge catalogue of music and hits. Her music ranges from Rock, Country, Oldies, Musical songs, and even a couple of albums sung entirely in Spanish. 😊😊❤❤

LOL, I just noticed, the thumbnail for this video, your eyes did a thing that makes you look like an anime character, hahaha... 😄 it's adorable. 🖤

Phil Collins wrote "Another Day in Paradise" after looking many homeless people in Washingon streets

While I DO love this song from Phil, and it is possibly one of the best songs that actually shows off his range as a singer, not to mention how wonderful he is as both a song-writer and a musician overall.... Well, it still isn't my FAVORITE Phil Collins song, which is "I Don't Care Anymore". That song just gets me in a "mood" that can only be described as "Not going to take any c**p off of anyone". Or simply a "F-off" song.

This version is great! If you can find a version he performs live with Genesis it would be awesome! Genesis usually performs a couple of Phil's solo hits during their shows.

Yeah this song is definitely on your oldies stations at least here in the U.S. anyway. Very popular song.

Have an amazing day and take care Bisscute

💚

Even though I watched that Live Aid video you were talking about, it never really sank in that he plays the piano. I've always had it stuck in my mind that he sings and drums. Hmm.

Hello Miss Bisscute !!! As always the like button 🔘 has been Illuminated !!!😊. I Have sent you Many Suggestions for Music 🎵🎶.

Please when you speak use as many words with the letter R as possible,it is so cute.Your accent is lovely. Phil did alot of great stuff. Sadly I read somewhere that he has health problems now.

This was the last number one hit of the 80’s. “Man In The Mirror “ by Michael Jackson is a song about a similar topic.

I had to chuckle when you turned on your cell phone light, when everyone in the video is waving sparkĺers and lighters - the clash of the generations, I guess

This is a serious song with a message but you see it as just a jolly little song with a nice tune. You miss the whole point of it. This is much more than a song to wave the light on your mobile phone to.

Fantastis❤

I see bisscute, i press like! 😊

Live aid was 1985, and Phil was still riding high on his success, and his energy was probably more in its youthful exuberance, but as this one is 1990, a lot can happen in just 5 years, let alone 15, in show business - it's exhausting and with age it's not easy to keep up that happy and upbeat energy. And by that time, he has probably played so many songs so many time that it literally becomes "boring" for him, but he has to play them cos they are the hits the fans love and come to hear live. So Phil was probably just pacing himself and not getting too wound up, which can often come across as "stuck up" or whatever. He's probably just trying to get through the show so he can rest a spell before he has to pack up and get on the bus or plane to the next show and do it all over again. I kinda had a wee taste of that just in with karaoke circuit. I had people bug me to do certain songs, and sometimes I'd do them but only if I was in the mood or found it to be a challenge (having not done it before). Real rock stars do not get that luxury of choice. But there was ONE song I did just as a joke, and it went over so well - TOO well - with the crowd that it became my most requested - Barbie Girl by Aqua. Why? Cos I did BOTH voice myself, switching on a dime from the deep "Come on Barbie Let's go party" to the high-pitched helium voice of "Ah ah ah yeah" and singing in that helium voice for the whole song. At first I happily obliged - give the people what they want, right? But before long ,I got sick of it, and started refusing to do it, especially after someone had noted "Yeah, you don;t sound like you;re really into it anymore, and it's starting to weaken". So I retired it. But after enough time, I would dig it out once in a while, but only if my mood was such. I had actually found a new "crowd pleaser" in the from of a holiday double header : You're A Mean One Mr Grinch, immediately followed by The Chipmunk Christmas Song. So you got the deep baritone vocal of Grinch and then the ultra-helium vocals of Chipmunks. Since it was kind of reserved for the holidays I never had to worry about it "getting tiresome" like Barbie Girl did, but that didn't mean I wouldn't do it off-season if it was warranted (by public demand or my mood or whatever). So I can sort of empathize with these performers, cos if some rinky-dink karaoke routines can become tiresome, I can only imagine the magnitude of actual professional performance,s that are repeated night after night for months on end with the stresses of travel to boot.

Should've done the studio video. Oh well.

I really like this game too 😅

Phil Collins grande cantor e instrumentistatamuitos fãs no Brasil

Yes the piano riff is unmistakeable so much repetition everyone knows it. Phil collins has such an original voice. I remember him making that mistake on the keyboards

You may like another song by Phill Collins....... called ....In the air tonight ,the live version is very good .☺❤

Hello Biss I really didn't now he played piano . His first installment is the drums and most his sons are true story based on realaships.

You have a beautiful wig. 😍

I recommend Phil Collins album Susudio

It's a beautiful song and I loved your reaction, I would like you to react to the song Land os cunfusion by the band Genesis in the live version in which he was the vocalist. The performance is very different from the official music video. The 1986 one is very good.

10:09 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, you're so funny. 🖤

You are true royalty to me 🥰❤️

Just nod your head back and look at me ❤

He had a straight reaction after the song was done and didn't want to over shine the song considering what the song is about. It is about the homeless and the contrast of our lives compared to theirs. Just so you know, Phil is generally full of energy and comedic in a way on stage when it is appropriate. Funny you only watched him on piano because that is rare being that he is primarily a drummer turned front man starting with his old band Genesis. When Phil goes to the piano it means it's going to be a slow ballad with deep meaning which is opposite of most his music.

UN TEMAZO ...... CON UNA LIRICA ..... QUE CUENTA LA HISTORIA DE COMO UNA PERSONA PASA DE LA VIDA FAMILIAR A UNA VIDA DE SOLEDAD ..... Y ..... QUE HAY QUE DAR GRACIAS POR SER PARTE DEL PARAISO ......

EMOH teewS EMOH

Phil's energy comes when he has a set of Drums in front of him, if you want a bit more drive, In The Air Tonight (Live), if you haven't already, no doubt you would have heard the beat somewhere. This song isn't a hype song, it may have been eurly in the show also?

Try react to Genesis live shows, Bisscute. Phil bring to us a complex voice interpretation and as well drummer. Sorry about my English. I'm from Sao Paulo - Brazil and never study the language. Hope you understand me

lo de las luminarias en los conciertos, se creó en 1977 en un festival de música en chile y fueron antorchas

Huge #1 song❤

The video for this song is very powerful. The title of the song itself is a provocation for social inequality in the world. What is this Paradise where few have much and many have little?

Another good one from them "Thats All" offical video put that on your radar

Bisscute reaction muse starlight🔥🔥🔥

❤❤❤

From indonesia.REVENGE THE FATE.SAD BUT TRUE

I would love to see you react to The Warning Z it’s 3 sisters from Mexico and they are AWESOME you won’t be disappointed do the live version in Tetro Mexico

Radio stations have played this song to death. And beyond that, the fans of 70s Genesis have a hard time watching Phil in his soft/chart phase, when you remember him as an awsome drummer, playing progressive rock and jazzfusion with his sideproject Brand X and also as singer in Genesis after Peter Gabriel had left. If you want to listen to one of the best drum live performances listen to Dance on a volcano/Los Endos of Genesis Seconds Out live album. And if you love this song, but want to hear another version, then listen to Liv Warfield - former member of Prince' band - which she just recorded in 2023 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hc-af6ih286qonU.html
