Song of the Day #6,235: ‘Two Hearts’ – Phil Collins

The last Rock & Roll Hall of Fame snub I’ll mention is Phil Collins, who is in the Hall as a member of Genesis but not as a solo artist. He’s been eligible since 2007 but never nominated.

It’s hard to argue against Collins based on the stats. His eight studio albums, plus soundtracks and compilations, have sold more than 150 million copies worldwide and 35 million in the U.S. He is a Grammy and Academy Award winner with seven #1 hits and another seven in the top ten.

His ‘In the Air Tonight’ is one of the most enduring classics of the 80s, a song that introduced a reverb drum sound still utilized today. And while he’s released his share of schlocky soft rock, he’s more than made up for it with poignant, meaningful work.

Hell, he should probably be in the Hall of Fame for his Tarzan soundtrack alone.

[Verse 1]
Well, there was no reason to believe
She’d always be there
But if you don’t put faith in what you believe in
It’s getting you nowhere

[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause it hurts, you never let go (Ooh)
Don’t look down, just look up
‘Cause she’s always there behind you (Ooh)
Just to remind you

[Chorus]
Two hearts
Living in just one mind
You know we’re two hearts
Living in just one mind

[Verse 2]
Well, there’s no easy way to
To understand it
There’s so much of my life in her
And it’s like I’m blinded

[Pre-Chorus]
And it teaches you to never let go (Ooh)
There’s so much love you’ll never know
She can reach you no matter how far (Ooh)
Wherever you are

[Chorus]
Two hearts
Living in just one mind
Beating together
Till the end of time
You know we’re two hearts
Living in just one mind
Together forever
Till the end of time, oh

[Bridge]
She knows (She knows)
There will always be a special place
In my heart for her (Ooh)
She knows, she knows, she knows
Yeah, she knows (She knows)
No matter how far apart we are (Ooh)
She knows I’m always right there beside her (Ooh)

[Chorus]
We are two hearts
Believing in just one mind
Beating together
Until the end of time
You know we’re two hearts
Believing in just one mind (Believing in just one mind)
Together forever (Together forever)
Till the end of time
You know we’re two hearts
Believing in just one mind (Believing in just one mind)
Just one mind, just one mind (Together forever)
Till the end of times
Two hearts, two hearts
Believing, believing, just one mind
Beating together (Together forever)
Till the end of time
Till the end of time, two hearts

    Definitely he should be in! Never forget the night he played with Daniel and the high school band that included his son on drums 🥰
