The first time I heard this song was in 1989. I was a newly married young man who had been sent overseas. I was confident that she would stay as faithful as I was, but it wasn't to be. There is a line in the song where he sings, "I knew before you let me know." Well, I knew because mutual friends saw her with someone else. I was crushed and it affected me for a long time. I had kept all the letters and read them, but after a while, I realized that was not good for me. So many lines in this song seemed like they were written just for me and my situation. It took years to be able to truly trust again, but now I am going on 17 years of marriage with my wife (2nd) and have an awesome 15 year old son. What caused me so much pain and despair, actually was one of the best things that could have ever happened to me. If there are those who listen to this and feel sad, there is nothing wrong with that. Just know that there is hope and happiness even after devastation. When I listen to this song now, I am not sad. I realize it is a beautifully written, and performed, song about a sad situation. Phil's songs have touched countless people and our world is a better place for his songs being in it. Thanks Phil.
Married 1986 divorced 1991 she put me threw hell. Remarried 1993 and this September will be 30 years. I have a 33 year old son ( step son ) and 2 Grandkids ( boy 11 girl 8 1/2 ). All that pain was worth it because what I have now is PRICELESS!!! Continued success to you and your family...
Phil Collins hizo este álbum efectivamente cuando tuvo una separación con su esposa así que lo que está cantando es su verdadero dolor y lo está expresando!
Those bass lines, and so beautifully played by Leland. This is a timeless classic - as shown by so many of the comments. From the very opening bars thru to when you anticipate the stab by the orchestra and right to the end.
I remember this song moved me so much as a teenager even though I hadn't really experienced this type of heartache. But tonight, every note makes my heart long for those carefree teenage moments. Thank you Phil for the memories. This song is so heartfelt and it is hauntingly honest and beautiful.
From 1981 to 2023 Phil’s lyrics are timeless . You take so much from this ballad , vocally Phil is brilliant the soft percussion eases you through the song . In my top ten of all time classics
It's one thing to write brutally heart-rending lyrics, but to deliver such a wistful and sincere vocal just completes the package. "Oh sure, my friends all come round, but I'm in a crowd and on my own ..." 💔 Have loved this absolute masterpiece forever - can feel the pain in every note. To anyone who hasn't personally experienced the devastating sentiment of it, lucky you ...
When Elvis Presiey past away, my mother couldn't stop sobbing. I genuinely didn't understand the adoration she had for him. When George Michael past away, I kind of understood what she was feeling at the time. Phil Collins isn't in the best of health. When he passes away, I'll know EXACTLY why my mother was so sad. It's going to break my heart when we eventually lose him. He's given me so many beautiful memories.
I would like to give a Shout Out to all the people who stood with & supported Phil through it all. Good times and the not so good. Please don't let him slip away... ❤
@@fernandoalmeidadeandrade6512 If Phil doesn’t play live I cry till my face hurts and till I hyperventilate and till my nose bleeds and can’t feel my eyes and my face
I fell in love with a classmate back in 1980. Not sure she ever felt it as much as i did. We used to play this on vinyl in my bedroom all the way back in 1982. We were 17 then. 42 years on and i still love this record. And eventhough I havent seen her for 20 odd years, i still love her. Always will i guess. Her heart still remains for sure.
Just came across this link. Reading all the comments, it all rings true to everyone. "Face Value" was a rare piece of music back in 1981. Way ahead of itself for the sheer variety of sounds & emotions. I must say, I do feel the best part for this tragic song is when he hits the lyrics at "Just remember" @ 2:41 and that small orchestral crescendo that hits at 2:57. At that moment you can't help but to recall a distant memory. AMAZING SONG.
The most beautiful song on this album and one such gold compositions of Phill's hit maker. Unhappily a underated pop genius from music world. This is a love song as no other creeping tears away.
I'm usually not into his exclusive discography, but his singing voice is still awesome. It's a great sadness he retired with a bad injury, so I wish the best for him as always. 🙏
Phil Collins is a total one off his songwriting is that of a genius. I remember seeing him in concert in 1990 and when he did in The Air To tonight it blew the roof off when he stepped up to those drums. Thank you Phil for your amazing talent.🇬🇧
found this song back in 2014 after a bad break up. here now in 2023 listening to this after another.... playing it on repeat. phil really knows hows to hit you right in the feels with his music
I agree. His stuff with Genesis is amazing as well as his solo work. When I listen to the song, Mama or the album Face Value I am transported back to my teens and twenties. Phil is amazing ❤️
It’s better to have loved than not to have loved at all. When he says that the love is something that can’t be taken away. It’s so true. Having been through the same as others here just when this song came out, it resonated with me as well. 40+ years later, with a loving wife that has long healed my scars, the emotions still pinches my heart. But the sadness doesn’t hurt anymore, rather they remind me to live, to experience and to keep my heart open. Bruce Springsteen said it best in his great song Jungle Land. “ And the poets down here don't write nothing at all, they just stand back and let it all be “ The grief doesn’t negate the love that I felt before the suffering. Don’t stand back and let it all be!!!
I'm in a crowd and on my own? It's amazing that how true these words can be when we lose someone we treasure out of our lives and wherever we are or whoever we are with and no matter how many people we have around us we are lost and alone cos we are never ever the same when we lose someone we truly love? I know cos this is how I feel 👤
This song to me is the best song Ever written...in the 80s I received a Dear John letter when I was doing time and this song expresses every emotion I felt n feel to this day ...Thank you Phil xx
Phill você imagina o que você representa na nossa vida. Deixar marcas de momentos bons na vida de alguém. Moro na brasil e sei que nunca irei te ver mas suas músicas estará sempre no meu coração. Obrigado por tudo. Nunca fique triste porque você e responsável por alegria de muitos.
thank you for all the memories, sad, funny, romantic and for you Phil...I have grown up with you, in my perception, the greatest legend of all time...I have seen some of the greats in concert however you were the longest concert and the best especially the blues brothers at the end....I only had enough for two cigarettes and one beer and a ticket for you...and just when we thought you were finished..the blues brothers...classic.. I met Phil in a petrol station in england in the middle of the night playing phil on a tape in my little mini and my sister didn't believe me that it was phil, he was was filling up his own petrol so she went over to him, I shyly walked behind her in her shadow...he spoke to us and I couldnt say a word....i was so gobsmacked...my idol at the time was right there in front of me...I was so young...he explained that this was the only time he could go out without being recognised...oops! I have always loved your music and think your one of the most talented musicians in the world...thank you for your sharing, your soul and your incredible heart...thank you thank you thank you...my sons father has passed on now however your music brings me closer to him every time i listen to you....the memories....the love....the laughter....x
Essa é uma das músicas mais lindas de todos os tempos!!! Toca tão fundo no coração que chega a doer...Único e incomparável Phil Collins, grande músico, grande compositor, a quem tanto amo e admiro!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Maria... ouvindo de novo essa perfeição de música...e ele é perfeição também... você descreveu o que sinto sobre ele e essa música...e todas...amor da minha vida...💕🌹
Meu Deus. Cada vez que ouço essa canção.. a introdução desse Sax.. esse Sax , choraaa. Que lindo todo o arranjo da canção... E a lindíssima voz de Phill..... Sou um tiozão 63 , bem vividos e sou conservado. Que lindo não existem mais canções e arranjos como esse. . nunca mais😊
when i saw phil at radio city music hall in manhattan play this album it was beyond music....this song featured the guy who plays sax come out in a white tux...it was all black til he played...then a spotlight over him lit him up....after his solo...it went to phil singing...words can't desribe the emotions....but when he played in the air tonight...everybody sang along as the upper balcony was moving 3 inches up and down...i thought we were gonna die....it was magical....a month later i caught genesis at giants stadium in jersey....sold out 22,000 seats a week before he came
Hi, Phil Hunter Joyner here when I listen to this song and One More Night and Hold On My Heart your storytelling always makes me smile and these songs half the time make me cry over people moving away from where they normally live and where it all turns out and I’m listening to them right now Phil I love you so much it’s so emotionally awesome that I’ve listened to you for years and you saxophone solos on your music bring me to tears cause it shows how much I love being with people and pets it’s the best thing all things come along with in general
lyrics: “I read all the letters, I read each word that you've sent to me And though it's past now, and the words start to fade All the memories I have still remain I've kept all the pictures, but I hide my feelings so no-one knows Oh sure my friends all come round, but I'm in a crowd on my own It's 'cause you're gone now, but your heart, still remains And it'll be here if you come again You see, I'd heard the rumors, I knew before you let me know But I didn't believe it, not you, No you would not let me go Seems I was wrong, but I love, I love you the same And that's the one thing that you can't take away but just remember If leaving me is easy, And you know, coming back is harder And leaving me is easy And you know, coming back is harder And leaving me is easy And you know, coming back is harder And leaving me is easy And you know, coming back is harder And leaving me is easy And you know, coming back is harder And leaving me is easy And you know, coming back is harder And leaving me is easy And you know, coming back is harder”
J'ai lu chaque lettre, j'ai lu chaque mot que tu m'as envoyé, Et même si c'est le passé maintenant, les mots commencent à partir, Et tous les souvenirs que j'ai, reste, J'ai gardé toutes les photos, mais je cache mes sentiments pour que personne ne sache Oh c'est sûr, tous mes amis tournent la page, mais moi je suis seul dans la foule, Car même si tu es partie, ton cœur est toujours présent, Et je serais là quand tu reviendras, Tu verras, j'ai entendu les rumeurs, je le savais avant que tu m'en fasses part, Mais je n'y croyais pas, pas toi, Non, tu me laisserais pas Ont dirait que j'ai eu tort, mais je t'aime, je t'aime toujours autant. Et c'est la seule chose que tu ne peux pas m'enlever, mais souviens-toi, Si me laisser est facile Et tu sais que revenir est plus dur Si me laisser est facile Et tu sais que revenir est plus dur Si me laisser est facile Et tu sais que revenir est plus dur Si me laisser est facile Et tu sais que revenir est plus dur Si me laisser est facile Et tu sais que revenir est plus dur Si me laisser est facile Et tu sais que revenir est plus dur Si me laisser est facile
Phil, I love your music, your playing, singing, fast and dynamic songs, but I think what I like most are the quiet songs that can help you relax, unwind and think. You were, you are and you will always be GREAT. Thank you for so many years together, I hope you will still play and sing for me even when I leave this world. I hear a wonderful song in the background "If Leaving Me Is Easy" 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🍀❤
For me this song is simply spellbinding. You “hear it” usually as a result of an emotional rollercoaster (something that I am going through right now) Either that or during a quiet stroll on a Sunday afternoon depicted in black and white. Thank you for this one Phil. 🖤🤍🖤
Phil came to NZ twice,86 invisible touch tour with genesis,then 2017 33yrs later Solo with his son Nic,spellbounding,First song sang at both shows, MaMa,I cried
im turning 30 next month so i didnt grow up to this music but I remember i first heard this album back in 2015 and I just had to buy a copy of it. This guy Phil is one of the best music artists ever
Phil Collins music is so great and this song touches your heart and soul. Love is the most powerful thing in this world. So when you have it hold on to it because it's hard to find. One of the best songs.
This song by you Phil is a career tribute song that I thought of with you on If Leaving Me Is Easy I’m very sad that you don’t sing anymore Phil I wanna listen to you and watch you live non-stop I deserve the right to do that 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 my dad and I will always love your music and your awesome Genesis career and your talent
"I've kept all the pictures,
But I hide my feelings so no-one knows
Oh sure my friends all come round,
But I'm in a crowd on my own" .... OMG, Phil!!!
Masterpiece
Hauntingly beautiful
The first time I heard this song was in 1989. I was a newly married young man who had been sent overseas. I was confident that she would stay as faithful as I was, but it wasn't to be. There is a line in the song where he sings, "I knew before you let me know." Well, I knew because mutual friends saw her with someone else. I was crushed and it affected me for a long time. I had kept all the letters and read them, but after a while, I realized that was not good for me. So many lines in this song seemed like they were written just for me and my situation. It took years to be able to truly trust again, but now I am going on 17 years of marriage with my wife (2nd) and have an awesome 15 year old son. What caused me so much pain and despair, actually was one of the best things that could have ever happened to me. If there are those who listen to this and feel sad, there is nothing wrong with that. Just know that there is hope and happiness even after devastation. When I listen to this song now, I am not sad. I realize it is a beautifully written, and performed, song about a sad situation. Phil's songs have touched countless people and our world is a better place for his songs being in it. Thanks Phil.
Married 1986 divorced 1991 she put me threw hell. Remarried 1993 and this September will be 30 years. I have a 33 year
old son ( step son ) and 2 Grandkids ( boy 11 girl 8 1/2 ). All that pain was worth it because what I have now is PRICELESS!!!
Continued success to you and your family...
Anche io l’ho ascoltata perla prima volta a 18 anni ed ero innamorata..non so che fine abbia fatto lui ❤
Phil Collins hizo este álbum efectivamente cuando tuvo una separación con su esposa así que lo que está cantando es su verdadero dolor y lo está expresando!
Was he your “best” friend!? Fucked em Fucked em There’s the lesson right there, compadre. hahahaha This song it is the song… I hope You well
@@marioreyes1603 I didn't know the guy. I was halfway around the world. In the end, they did me a favor.
I used to sob to this song over a woman I loved with all of my heart long ago.
🥹💔🫶🏼❤️🔥❤️🩹
You and me both!!!!
Those bass lines, and so beautifully played by Leland. This is a timeless classic - as shown by so many of the comments. From the very opening bars thru to when you anticipate the stab by the orchestra and right to the end.
There is always a musician that sticks with you thru stages of yr life. PHIL is one of em !
So so true
I've loved this song since the first time I heard it.
I remember this song moved me so much as a teenager even though I hadn't really experienced this type of heartache. But tonight, every note makes my heart long for those carefree teenage moments. Thank you Phil for the memories. This song is so heartfelt and it is hauntingly honest and beautiful.
PHIL È COME TUTTO L OCEANO DI QUESTO MONDO... ACQUA PURA, COME LA GRANDEZZA DELLA NATURA.... 👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️
Phil is a jewel. One in a billion.
From 1981 to 2023 Phil’s lyrics are timeless .
You take so much from this ballad , vocally Phil is brilliant the soft percussion eases you through the song .
In my top ten of all time classics
this song was released in 1981... it's 2023... and 40 years from now it will still be beautiful and timeless... congratulations Mr Phil Collins.
I have thought the very same thing! Music can be timeless in some cases. Like this pne.
Concordo
Phil Collins really helped me through some sad and lonely times as a teenager.
A haunting and beautiful song, you can feel the pain.
It's one thing to write brutally heart-rending lyrics, but to deliver such a wistful and sincere vocal just completes the package. "Oh sure, my friends all come round, but I'm in a crowd and on my own ..." 💔 Have loved this absolute masterpiece forever - can feel the pain in every note.

Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here.
For sure !
When Elvis Presiey past away, my mother couldn't stop sobbing. I genuinely didn't understand the adoration she had for him. When George Michael past away, I kind of understood what she was feeling at the time. Phil Collins isn't in the best of health. When he passes away, I'll know EXACTLY why my mother was so sad.

Is not a song, is a masterpiece

Phil Collins será eterno para nós amantes de suas músicas maravilhosas, lindas amo!
This is a beautiful song but it's a reminder when someone you loved left you. 😢
This song just touches my soul every time 🥺
Mine too.
I thought it was just mine ❤
Brasil Porto Seguro sou fã que pena que não canta mais

I've heard this song countless times and it still sends me on an emotional roller coaster.
coming back is harder...

Who’s listening to this masterpiece in 2024
I do, is not a Masterpiece, is a Godlike piece.
👋
😢
Sempre. Uma das músicas mais lindas.
Still beautiful in 2024. Hopefully Phillip and Chester will talk to each other before one of them leaves the planet.
Im not a fan of phil collins but this song is outstanding even after hearing it again after 30 years. ❤
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here.

My favorite musician is Phil Collins including being lead singer in Genesis. The 80's were awesome. I miss this decade so much.
I always found this song really moving. Phil sings it with real meaning in his voice.
He sings EVERYTHING with real meaning in his voice!
He sings his story…this is what happened after his ex left him!
found this song back in 2014 after a bad break up. here now in 2023 listening to this after another.... playing it on repeat. phil really knows hows to hit you right in the feels with his music
Phil's best song in my very humble opinion.
I havenever understood why this man has not been given a nighthood for his life In music
go so deep inside i cant tell how deep
Very sad song 😢 Phil put his heart & soul into these lovely ballads.
The orchestral hits at 3:13 and 3:23 and the big one at 3:46 is simply amazing......some call it "the stab'....the whole track is genius.
My favourite Phil song. Makes me cry.
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here.
Anything " Phil". Anything. All of his music hits the soul. Single and with Genesis. Time won't change it. He's older but an icon.
I agree. His stuff with Genesis is amazing as well as his solo work. When I listen to the song, Mama or the album Face Value I am transported back to my teens and twenties. Phil is amazing ❤️
I listened song first time in 1987. Thanks, Phil Collins.
I feel sadness in this song...
Horn section is divine...earth wind & fire guys 👏🏼
It’s better to have loved than not to have loved at all.
When he says that the love is something that can’t be taken away. It’s so true. Having been through the same as others here just when this song came out, it resonated with me as well. 40+ years later, with a loving wife that has long healed my scars, the emotions still pinches my heart. But the sadness doesn’t hurt anymore, rather they remind me to live, to experience and to keep my heart open.
Bruce Springsteen said it best in his great song Jungle Land. “ And the poets down here don't write nothing at all, they just stand back and let it all be “
The grief doesn’t negate the love that I felt before the suffering. Don’t stand back and let it all be!!!
Yes, it still hurts…
I can definitely relate to this song, it makes me so emotional no matter how many times I hear it. Phil Collins is my favorite singer, an Icon. ❤️
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here.
Ahhh. Phil... you have, it! You are still my Go To Guy when I need a musiic fix...
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here.
An anthem for the broken hearted.
This sad, sad song is one everyone can relate with 😢
One of his most underrated hits ✅
I'm in a crowd and on my own? It's amazing that how true these words can be when we lose someone we treasure out of our lives and wherever we are or whoever we are with and no matter how many people we have around us we are lost and alone cos we are never ever the same when we lose someone we truly love? I know cos this is how I feel 👤
Heartbreakingly beautiful and spellbinding amazing.
Phil Collins, a true Master
This song to me is the best song Ever written...in the 80s I received a Dear John letter when I was doing time and this song expresses every emotion I felt n feel to this day ...Thank you Phil xx

You are so fortunate. What experiences. I’ve always listened to Phil, Genesis and Peter Gabriel. Born mid sixties
Hi, Phil Hunter Joyner here when I listen to this song and One More Night and Hold On My Heart your storytelling always makes me smile and these songs half the time make me cry over people moving away from where they normally live and where it all turns out and I’m listening to them right now Phil I love you so much it’s so emotionally awesome that I’ve listened to you for years and you saxophone solos on your music bring me to tears cause it shows how much I love being with people and pets it’s the best thing all things come along with in general
I'm really no fan of ballads, but I have to admit that Phil's are never embarrassing or even over the edge.
He's simply got it!
Rgds from Germany
Everyone who had a love feels this. It hits.
lyrics:
“I read all the letters, I read each word that you've sent to me
And though it's past now, and the words start to fade
All the memories I have still remain
I've kept all the pictures, but I hide my feelings so no-one knows
Oh sure my friends all come round, but I'm in a crowd on my own
It's 'cause you're gone now, but your heart, still remains
And it'll be here if you come again
You see, I'd heard the rumors, I knew before you let me know
But I didn't believe it, not you,
No you would not let me go
Seems I was wrong, but I love, I love you the same
And that's the one thing that you can't take away but just remember
If leaving me is easy,
And you know, coming back is harder
And leaving me is easy
And you know, coming back is harder
And leaving me is easy
And you know, coming back is harder
And leaving me is easy
And you know, coming back is harder
And leaving me is easy
And you know, coming back is harder
And leaving me is easy
And you know, coming back is harder
And leaving me is easy
And you know, coming back is harder”
J'ai lu chaque lettre, j'ai lu chaque mot que tu m'as envoyé,
Et même si c'est le passé maintenant, les mots commencent à partir,
Et tous les souvenirs que j'ai, reste,
J'ai gardé toutes les photos, mais je cache mes sentiments pour que personne ne sache
Oh c'est sûr, tous mes amis tournent la page, mais moi je suis seul dans la foule,
Car même si tu es partie, ton cœur est toujours présent,
Et je serais là quand tu reviendras,
Tu verras, j'ai entendu les rumeurs, je le savais avant que tu m'en fasses part,
Mais je n'y croyais pas, pas toi,
Non, tu me laisserais pas
Ont dirait que j'ai eu tort, mais je t'aime, je t'aime toujours autant.
Et c'est la seule chose que tu ne peux pas m'enlever, mais souviens-toi,
Si me laisser est facile
Et tu sais que revenir est plus dur
Si me laisser est facile
Et tu sais que revenir est plus dur
Si me laisser est facile
Et tu sais que revenir est plus dur
Si me laisser est facile
Et tu sais que revenir est plus dur
Si me laisser est facile
Et tu sais que revenir est plus dur
Si me laisser est facile
Et tu sais que revenir est plus dur
Si me laisser est facile
@@Roman7- à la fin, il n'y a qu'une fois "si me laisser est facile". Pour la suite c'est "et me laisser est facile" 🙂
Struggente...
Obrigada!!! 🇧🇷
Cheers
"And just remember...." .,gets me in the feels every time.
What a legend
Indeed
In my view his best song and certainly his best ballad. Crushingly beautiful.
Phil, I love your music, your playing, singing, fast and dynamic songs, but I think what I like most are the quiet songs that can help you relax, unwind and think. You were, you are and you will always be GREAT. Thank you for so many years together, I hope you will still play and sing for me even when I leave this world. I hear a wonderful song in the background "If Leaving Me Is Easy" 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🍀❤
One more concert PLEASE!!! The last one with your son was MAGNIFICENT!!! You ate my FAVORITE artist of ALL time!!! So GRATEFUL...💖💖💖
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here.
For me this song is simply spellbinding.
You “hear it” usually as a result of an emotional rollercoaster (something that I am going through right now)
Either that or during a quiet stroll on a Sunday afternoon depicted in black and white.
Thank you for this one Phil.
🖤🤍🖤

Glad you can experience it. Phil Collins is amazing. Check out his first group Genesis. I was in my teens and twenties when this was current
