Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight

At one time, this song featured prominently as an option for “Our Song” ~

... bongos - just barely there - inviting - swaying - close your eyes and get ready to be carried away into the land of dreams -

I can feel it coming in the air tonight,
I've been waiting for this moment all my life,
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight?

~ Phil Collins - such velvet voice, such a sweet slide - rocking - gently - until the verse hits home ...

Well if you told me you were drowning I would not lend a hand.
I've seen your face before, my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am.

"Our Song" material?
Nope, not really! Way too much pent up anger and pain ready and waiting to be unleashed. How deceiving a first impression can be, and how much ugliness can be hidden underneath a beautiful surface. The danger of wanting to look deeper - or simply the danger of reality? ~

In The Air Tonight
By Phil Collins

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord

Well if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am
Well I was there and I saw what you did, I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord

Well I remember, I remember, don't worry, how could I ever forget
It's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, oh no you don't fool me
Well the hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you and me

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord

Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord

I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord

I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
