In the Air Tonigh - Phil Collins
In the Air Tonight è il primo singolo di Phil Collins, scritto e cantato da lui. È stato inciso nel
1980 ed inserito nell'album Face Value. Il famosissimo brano pop-rock raggiunse il secondo posto nelle classifiche del Regno Unito.
Phil Collins venne ispirato a comporre il brano dal recente divorzio dalla moglie Andrea Bertorelli. Il rancore che filtra da ogni parola del brano si trasforma in un desiderio di vendetta.
In sintesi, la voce del brano afferma che il risentimento per questa persona è intenso al punto che se la vedesse annegare, non la aiuterebbe. Questa notte però il protagonista può sentire nell'aria che il momento della vedetta è arrivato.
