My god man... you have a point...
That is a great driving song. Especially if you have high fidelity surround sound. When the word Remember comes in, you get goosebumps...
Actually there's a story as to why that song was made. Here it is
.
The story has to do with Phil Collins supposedly watching his close friend drown from a nearby cliff (His friend was homosexual), while he stood helpless, too far away to rescue. In addition, supposedly there was another friend of Phil's who could have rescued the friend but just stood idly by, and wouldn't help the drowning man because he was gay.
Many years later, the friend who had never helped out the drowned man was invited to a concert of Phil's.
The spotlight was pointed directly onto the friend while the lyrics were sang, and the man started to cry, and after the song violently ran out of the stadium in tears.
Although no one knows what happened in between that incident and this, they do know that he was found to have hung himself. It's said he commited suicide to douse the pain of Phil's song.
As far as I know, there are many rumours, including the one that Phil's wife divorced him, and he wrote this song for her. Either way, that's the one I know, and I hope you guy's liked it.
