In The Air Tonight Music Video
August 15th, 2007 | by music |Kahlnen asked:
“I don’t know what this song is about. When I was writing this I was going through a divorce. And the only thing I can say about it is that it’s obviously in anger. It’s the angry side, or the bitter side of a separation. So what makes it even more comical is when I hear these stories which started many years ago, particularly in America, of someone come up to me and say, ‘Did you really see someone drowning?’ I said, ‘No, wrong’. And then every time I go back to America the story gets Chinese whispers, it gets more and more elaborate. It’s so frustrating, ‘cos this is one song out of all the songs probably that I’ve ever written that I really don’t know what it’s about, you know.”
- Phil Collins

This is for me really one of the most beautiful songs *all times*… Really incredibly song from a guy that just say in 1981…I am going solo! And everything still doing with Genesis troughout the 80*ies and 90*ies…Fantastic! And very deeply intellectually!

As I may be concerned this doesnt fit to Phil. I know somebody from Sony Records and he told me, that it was because Phils wife just broke up with him…
But that story with the boy and his brother is true in another famous case:
The great german painter Caspar David Friedrich lost his older brother Christoffer that way. Caspar broke into the ice while skating and Cristoffer drowned trying to save him. This is the reason why Caspar started painting morbid scenes as funerals, aso…

Very Lennon-esque at the end… very much like the Plastic Ono Band album.

Urban legend. Phil Collins himself has said that he has no idea what the song is about, and he has never witnessed a drowning.
