Bu aralar Phil Collins'in bu sarkisini dinleyip duruyorum. Sarki Collins'in 1981 tarihli ilk solo albumu olan Face Value'ya ait. Sarki ile iliskili bir sehir efsanesi bile var. Buna gore, Collins bogulmakta olan bir adam gormus; ancak kendisi cok uzakta oldugu icin yardim edememis. Diger yandan, adamin yaninda duran kisi ise ona yardim etmemis. Sarki ayni zamanda 80'li yillarin unlu dizisi Miami Vice'in bir bolumunde calinmis [Sarkinin yayinlandigi bolum (Brother's Keeper) buradan izlenebilir: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Tnyp9tRXRo&mode=related&search ]. Boylece sarkinin unu bir kat daha artmis. Yillar sonra BBC ile yaptigi bir roportajda Collins sunlari soyluyor:

"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."

Sozleri de verelim [Sarkinin klibi buradan izlenebilir: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1cLbueq9uw]:

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord

And I've been waiting for this moment, 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 the 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

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

And I've been waiting for this moment 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, no you don't fool me

The hurt doesn't show; but the pain still grows

It's no stranger to you or me

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord ...
