The Saddest Phil Collins Song

I'm literally getting misty-eyed thinking about this stupid song, I really love it.

Watched the video again, film looks like a sappy Romancing The Stone knock-off. Should I shell out 3 bucks to stream it?

I think it's more like Glenn Frey 80s L.A. noir a la Tequila Sunrise or a less pulpy Indecent Proposal.

Ebert review:

The movie has a lot of muted social criticism in it, involving professional sports and ecology. The Jane Greer character has a plan to destroy several beautiful canyons to build houses. The Bridges character is a victim of unfair labor practices. And so on. Sometimes we get the idea we're watching a clone of "Chinatown" -- but not with that jealous triangle. Woods is the villain, so he does smoke, of course. But Bridges and Ward are so consumed with passion, they don't even need to.

i was also hugely peeved when this film didn't turn out to be the gritty reinvention of vérité we'd been promised in the trailers

It really is

can a song with a parenthetical subtitle be truly sad tho

can't believe groovy kind of love didn't win

No love for “do you remember?”
“Called you up just to say I’m sorry etc...”

When Phil is sad, the world hears him, and he knows that, and I hope that makes him feel a little better

I see your point but when you think about it it kinds of makes it even sadder.

I was just listening to this track and does Roger Chapman invent Phil Collins here or what?
