Fun fact: Phil let Dave have a part in this song because it was a token of his friendship to Dave, who at the time, just got out of rehab, and his confidence/career needed a boost.... Phil, the man, the legend, and a great friend. A hero
David didn't go to rehab. He went to jail and got clean there. In a way the song is about David. We was a villain who went to jail, conquered his addictions, became a hero in the process, and went free.
They had actually worked before this too. Crosby did background vocals on Phil’s 1989 album and also appeared with him at the Grammy’s when they did “Another Day in Paradise”.
Phil you are my favourite singer you are my hero and i always listen your songs every day. You are the best british singer of the world and you have excellent songs
I'm listening to Phil Collins Hero early March 2021 beginning of the end of this Covid 19 Pandemic but wearing a mask New York Yankees practice social distancing and washing my hands! Covid 19 your finished!
I grew up listening to the music of Bra Phil in the 80's and 90', and I have came to realize that this is a Super Hero and a true Legend indeed. It is saddening and heartbreaking to hear that today he has a type 2 diabetes and other illnesses. May the Almighty God HEAL this wonderful and talented legend. I love his music so much. Reggie, South Africa, Pretoria.
@@paulainsworth9229 Actually this is the original. Phil never finished the demo version that was meant for his “Both Sides” album. So he gave it to Crosby and helped produce it.
@@shivjoy Phil wrote this and recorded this demo originally. He did his own backing vocals. He gave the song (and a writing credit) to Crosby as a favor because he needed the money and the boost to his career. Phil sang the backing vocals on Crosby's version.
I love Phil Collins I love his voice I love his songs and I love this song deep words he such a legend I only love Phil solo version of this song the 90s was my childhood that good songs.
Totally agree! Very underrated. I remember it from Spring 1993. Played for a few months and then disappeared. It keeps getting removed from RUclips. Right now, the duet version with David is here. Bless whomever posted that one too.
they always said that music has power, it can take you places you didn't wanna go at unexpected times, well today i confirm that!! Philly was a gift to all us music listeners!!
Respectfully, this is not a Phil Collins version of a David Crosby song. They co-wrote it. And if you know Phil Collins' music, you will hear that he was absolutely the main creator of this song.

Sophy y Faith Thordarson Have you got a link or reference to that fact? By 1993 David Crosby had been clean for a few years I’ve been led to believe. Wikipedia reports that Crosby produced the song too. As a big David Crosby fan I think you folks are giving Phil Collins too much credit for this song.
Phill Collins ,Greatest musician of all times.
I wanna wish a Happy early 73rd Birthday 🎂 to Phil Collins!!!!

Phil is a once in a lifetime artist. I'm glad to have grown up listening to his music. Very blessed 🙏🙏
Two legends, that'll always have a never ending legacy. All the best legend, Rest In Peace David 💙🙏
R.I.P. David Crosby (1941-2023)
Phil is so talented, so many many good song's!!!
@wildimpoets Phil Collins Hero is one of my personal favorite song
Por siempre Phil collins nos veremos en la eternidad
Un genio hizo muchos temas aprovechando su tristeza y la depresión siguió adelante por siempre Phil 🤚

This song is possible the greatest song of the 90s as well.

@@bellazoe1 definitely one of them. One of the best set of lyrics Phil ever wrote.
They had actually worked before this too. Crosby did background vocals on Phil’s 1989 album and also appeared with him at the Grammy’s when they did “Another Day in Paradise”.
I can listen to this song a thousand times never get tired of it
Same here.
RIP David Crosby (1941-2023). Thanks
the 2 people who disliked this song didn't had heroes in their life
WONDERFUL SONG!

Such an understated song..... Brought me to tears 😢. Love from Nairobi, Kenya 🇰🇪
Me too 😢😢
Bloody awesome!! Go Phil; may you be with us many more years!
Just love this song so much...
It's actually Phil's song. He wrote it and gave Crosby a writing credit as a gesture of friendship.
This is a cover of the original by david Crosby.
Not forgetting this is a demo of said cover. The Collins version as usual was much more polished.
@@paulainsworth9229 Actually this is the original. Phil never finished the demo version that was meant for his “Both Sides” album. So he gave it to Crosby and helped produce it.
If i'm not wrong both artists gave backing vocals in each other's version.

But Uncle Phil, your music is timeless . I cry when listening to you my hero
I love Phil Collins I love his voice I love his songs and I love this song deep words he such a legend I only love Phil solo version of this song the 90s was my childhood that good songs.
RIP Croz ..... you will be missed!
I can listen to this song all day and never get tired of it. Great and sharp voices (David and Phil) combine together on this chef-d'oeuvre
Phil, you are my hero
i want to exchange you with
Every song Phil does touches a part of my life - Yes he / you are my Hero - Phil - A & F - Beth
I have always listened to his music ever since my years in high school
Most favorite artist period!!!
Wow I love Phil Collins voice ❤❤❤
from what I remember, this is David Crosby AND Phil Collins together--a great collaberation.
Both versions are good, but I like Phil's arrangement a little better. Phil has the talent to make any song at least as good as the original.
This is actually the original. Phil wrote this and gave David a writing credit to boost his confidence.
I prefer the Crosby version because it’s more polished but this is pretty good too.
thnx for the greatest work mr philip. love from Uganda❤ of Africa
That's just the way it is!!.. with David Crosby, almost makes me cry!!... another awesome son with those guys!..... THE BEST OF THE BEST

Una vez más tocando el cielo q grande eres
