Today 12 years ago my oldest brother past away at the age of 51 due to cancer. As a child and young adult I spend hours listening to and sharing our love for music with him. Genesis was always there and especially Follow you follow me. It's always bitter sweet to listen to this song. One sentence out of this song is tattood on my arm in rememberance of my brother. Thank Genesis for all their great music!❤
Not a lot of songs anymore that you could break down to such the basic pieces and still have something so beautiful. This is wonderful and I'm happy to have heard it.
We had the original a few weeks ago walking down the aisle together . Lots of memories from when we 1st went out in 1980 or 81 going to a Genesis concert at the N.E.C in Birmingham ( UK ). Nearly 30 yrs later we met up again , we have always been there for each other , not just the sharing good times which anyone can do but also helping each other thru the bad times . The lyrics to this song are perfect for us
I always find comfort in listening to this song! I am a long- time listener and no one will ever or could ever top his soothing voice! Thanks for posting!
Love how... this is the band. Each member is as important as any other, and this piece would not be possible without any of them. Equals in talent, influence... and good friends.
The secrets of the longevity of this band as trio are: lack of ego battle, sense of group and real triendship. Genesis was Banks, Collins and Rutherford.
@@TherealShabbadang Hackett said bad thing about the band in 1977. He said he was tired of playing songs like "Supper's Ready" every night. Tony Banks was dominant in compositions at that time BUT he created best songs compared to Hackett at that time. Peter Gabriel don't plays Genesis music. Your repertoire sustains your show. The same can't be with Steve Hackett. He too cash with the music of Genesis. He left out the band and never was call to go back. I think Steve could focus first in you art but since 2012 he cash with the music of Genesis. He don't were strong as composer on the band as Banks, Rutherford and Gabriel.
My wife followed me from NY to CT, then a few years ago to FL. Now as my time grows short i want her to follow me to heaven when 30 years or so her time comes
Our wedding song remix July 18th, 1981, was a day I'll never forget. ❤ He's suffering in the hospital having amputation, and my best friend can't follow me, but I'll carry him forever ❤
I always think that as soon as Phil starts to sing the first few bars that Im in totally relaxed and swept away but his voice. so glad we saw Genesis in concert.
This is the song that really led me to Genesis as a very young kid and yes I continue to follow them while I live :-) Was so happy to finally get to see them live in October 2021 :-)
Wondrously enjoyable. All the pieces, voice, lyrics, synthesizer, guitar, and percussion, meld together, beautifully. This song, this band, is a fantastic piece of music history. Thank you, Genesis. Dedicated to my beloved, Samuel. Always.
It’s a beautiful song,one of the most simple songs they have done but that doesn’t make it any less great. Like fine food,sometimes it’s just about a few great ingredients coming together. One of their best and opened them up to a new market of fans
My first Genesis tune back in 1981 doing bongs down in my best friends basement and really never heard of Genesis but heard this and never looked back.. My favorite band and always will be.
@@mickfunny4185 Unfortunately he screwed me over about 4 years later and I'm one that doesn't forgive and forget but still remember those great times..Thanks for asking.
@@IntoTheWhite04 Who do you think plays the drums when recording the songs? Chester Thompson played when they did concerts and Phil played the drums when Gabriel was lead singer back in the day.
This song is about long lasting love, loyality and carrying to eachother. Beautifull expeession and lyric to describe that story. Love you all Genesis!
Meine Jungs.....danke, ihr seid immer noch die Größten für mich...was hätte ich darum gegeben, nur für einen kleinen Augenblick mit im Raum zu sitzen, still auf nem Sofa....
And just like that, I'm riding down the street on my 3-speed (center-shifter) bike with banana seat, wearing a tank top and shorts (shorter than boxers now), tube socks, and K-mart Trax sneakers, listening to this on the AM radio attached to the handlebars...
This song was on the ATTW3 album, released in '78. Mike wrote these lyrics....apparently, after he married the woman whom he is still married to, in 1977. Which I think gives this tune depth and total authenticity.
@@soak1709had the great honor of driving as a taxi driver Mike Rutherford he told me that he wrote the song for his wife. one of my most enjoyable passengers very fond memory ❤
It's actually pretty easy if you're a musician; you're keeping time mentally anyway, so this is just transferring that to your hands while you are singing. Now, the guys who can sing lead vocals while whipping out lead guitar parts at the same time (or wicked bass lines, ala Geddy Lee in the band Rush)... THEY blow my mind. :)
Upon first listening to this song I was impressed by the soothing vocals. Asked myself, who is that? That song & voice were meant for each other, I don’t think anyone can top it.
To all of my friends who argue that no Gabriel and Hackett equals no Genesis, this one song proved them absolutely WRONG. PS It's my favorite of theirs, the karaoke crowd always loved it!
I can notice that Phil was expecting for Tony to do the piano solo that's why he wistles in that part, and in the end he asks him about that solo, and he replies "tonight"
Well it is not my favorite Genesis Song, but still we can hear they are brillant musicians. No drums, but the groove is wonderful and they are really together. Okay I prefer songs like "Firth of Fofth" or "Ripples", but still they are playing great.

The original was my wedding recessional and every time it comes on the radio my wife and I stop to listen. Love this version.

If you do not Sing, along, it does not count. Happy Anniversary, whenever it may be, anyway.
Now, you made me cry. 😍😍
Was my wedding recessional too
Our first dance song! Knew it from the day I met my beautiful, kind husband.
I always find comfort in listening to this song! I am a long- time listener and no one will ever or could ever top his soothing voice! Thanks for posting!
Except for Barry Gibb 💘 Phil is my #2
@@geri9261 I hear ya, I love the Bee Gees!
Easily my favorite Genesis song. Lyrics and melodies are just so hauntingly beautiful.
Just like yesterday beautiful and meaningful… love him ♥️
What a wonderful version of this classic song....Performed so matter-of-factly, with perfect execution, by three fabulous musician's!
Love how... this is the band. Each member is as important as any other, and this piece would not be possible without any of them. Equals in talent, influence... and good friends.
To lose your front man then have another band member eventually shadow the rest of them in popularity takes a huge friendship to keep it going

@@joaod.andradecosme5869and yet it is Hackett that keeps the Genesis torch alive.

Same here . First song I heard from Genesis.
Beautiful song and great version. I like being able to hear all of Tony's intricacies.
Beautiful sweet song. Phil just looks s great here! Genesis is timeless!
🙋🌹😘
WOW, beautiful. Gorgeous. Healing. Sweet.
What a great song. Phil Collins has the perfect voice for this.

Phil colins is an accomplished drummer which is explains how he sings and plays 2 percussive instruments at the same time. What a great song.
Phil Collins is a drummer? No way!

The best trio ever ❤❤❤ Love Phil, Mike and Tony 😍😍😍

Mike Rutherford wrote this song for his wife and it became a gold record for them here in states.
Meine Jungs.....danke, ihr seid immer noch die Größten für mich...was hätte ich darum gegeben, nur für einen kleinen Augenblick mit im Raum zu sitzen, still auf nem Sofa....
Timeless song ❤
Made me cry just one tear
something special about this song.
Tony, Phil & Mike are the best!

I used to do that with my transistor radio.
My tribe!
Yes....Trax sneakers....I swear they made me run faster!!!!😂
Such a beautiful song by one of the best band ever👍
This is just beautiful. No other words needed.
Phil Colins Gênio eterno completo e espetacular.
Great music can be stripped bare and still shine bright.
This song was on the ATTW3 album, released in '78. Mike wrote these lyrics....apparently, after he married the woman whom he is still married to, in 1977. Which I think gives this tune depth and total authenticity.
Thanks!I didn't know that Mike wrote the lyrics....so touching version here...

Very true Bob, she is beautiful!
Not quite. They've been upfront that it was a shameless ploy to get female fans.

This was my wedding song some 20 years ago..Love from Argentina!
The best pop music is the best music. This gem is like that.
This talent will go places one day, love you Phil
I wish i'd have been in that room at that moment ❤
No auto tune needed here just raw talent
Fantastic acoustic version. Loved it
Love you Phil ......
I love this song.

July 2021 still watching listening to this marvelous music.
How cool would a small club or theatre tour of the band like this have been?!
So much talent such a beautiful loving song amen
Wow I could never be able to sing, use the shaker and play the bongos while keeping in time with the music. Phil Collins is amazing.

Phil looks so handsome here beautiful expressions
I waited 18 years for my Beloved to be born and then I had to wait for him to grow up. He is the love of my life. This is our wedding song.
Magic. Genius in its simplicity, a gem of a pop song
Super band for sure. Thank you GENESIS!
Upon first listening to this song I was impressed by the soothing vocals. Asked myself, who is that? That song & voice were meant for each other, I don’t think anyone can top it.
Love this song and the man who follow's me.
THE SONG THAT STARTED IT ALL FOR ME....FANTASTIC
Same here,dude
Sooo heart-touching! I will always love your amazing performance!
You don't hear music this complex anymore, not even by Genesis. I think this song and "Ripples" are their two best.
The best music never dies...
True classic, beautiful composition ☀️
It's such a shame they never did an official Unplugged concert released it on CD/DVD... Imagine that!
Just beautiful.
"Truly beautiful & very meaningful, indeed" ... " A Heart song to cherish forever " .. Blessings always, Ms. Deborah J. Steele - 1/14/22
Simply,,,,,,,beautiful !
The world is a better place because Phil Collins has lived in it.
I love discovering little
gems like this on youtube
My favourite Genesis song, I dont care nor knows what other genesis hits are....
This song is hauntingly Beautiful, I dont know why...
The piano sounds especially precious here, just love it
All my love to you Phil!
This is beautiful 💕
The magica sound of Yamaha CP-80. Wo awesome like Phil's voice
Beautiful voice.
Sometimes "simpler" is just as good as the full production! THIS ... would be one of those times, it seems.
Phil sounds tremendous here.. really excellent!
I love this song
This has always been my favorite of their...
🎤🎼🎵🎵🎵🎵🎹🎸💜
Life changing history following me around.
beautiful. ... nothing better than the original!
3 unbelievable musicians making a perfectly unbelievable song…
The genius trio 👏👍
I love Genesis and Phil Collins so much that every son of mine has a song, and this one is by my son Elias❤
WOW ! Einfach nur WOW !
Ich werde euch vermissen....
Puede haber algo más maravilloso y sublime y sentido que ésto??? Absoluta emoción!!!
I love these guys!
Always brings a 🥲

Such a beautiful song, perfect for a couple deep in love! Perfect for a couple's wedding "1st dance"! 🥰🥰
So beautiful.... Hope one day I'll be that loved....
Has that day come yet?
A thumbs down? What's wrong with you freak?
There's nothing you can't do is there?! 💘 Love you forever Phil... 🥲💔
wow, there is history here!!!!!!!!
Amazing!!! to sound that good unplugged with no auto-tune, or electronics is incredible
I loveeeeeeeeeee so muchhhh 😍😍😍😍😍🌹🌹
To all of my friends who argue that no Gabriel and Hackett equals no Genesis, this one song proved them absolutely WRONG. PS It's my favorite of theirs, the karaoke crowd always loved it!
Erinnerung an eine besondere Zeit 😊
fantastic bravo great composition thanksss wanderful !!!!!!🤗
One of my favorites.
Sounds damn good to me.
I can notice that Phil was expecting for Tony to do the piano solo that's why he wistles in that part, and in the end he asks him about that solo, and he replies "tonight"
Trying to do what Phil Collins is doing would make my head explode.
You go, internet warrior. Do you have any idea how embarrassing you are?
lol!!!!!!!
what i noticed as a drummer myself, he's using the shaker to keep time!
Absolutely love this song
In a line-up like this we can hear, that they are high-end musicians.
Jim Smith so true Genesis fan
Well it is not my favorite Genesis Song, but still we can hear they are brillant musicians. No drums, but the groove is wonderful and they are really together. Okay I prefer songs like "Firth of Fofth" or "Ripples", but still they are playing great.
funklover24 it's a great song just not when Daryl Stuermer touched it
Mike rutherford cannot play bass and guitar at the same time.
funklover24 Stuermer still sucks
