Born and raised in west London, Collins played drums from the age of five and completed drama school training, which secured him various roles as a child actor, with his first major role, aged 13, as the Artful Dodger in the West End musical Oliver!. He then pursued a music career, joining Genesis in 1970 as their drummer and becoming lead singer in 1975 following the departure of Peter Gabriel. Collins began a successful solo career in the 1980s, initially inspired by his marital breakdown and love of soul music, releasing the albums Face Value (1981), Hello, I Must Be Going! (1982), No Jacket Required (1985) and ...But Seriously (1989). Collins became, in the words of AllMusic, "one of the most successful pop and adult contemporary singers of the '80s and beyond". He also became known for a distinctive gated reverb drum sound on many of his recordings. In 1985, he was the only artist to perform at both Live Aid concerts. He also resumed his acting career, appearing in Miami Vice and subsequently starring in the film Buster (1988). In 1996, Collins left Genesis to focus on solo work; this included writing songs for Disney's Tarzan (1999) for which he received an Oscar for Best Original Song for "You'll Be in My Heart". He rejoined Genesis for their Turn It On Again Tour in 2007. Following a five-year retirement to focus on his family life, Collins released an autobiography in 2016 and completed his Not Dead Yet Tour in 2019. He then rejoined Genesis in 2020 for a second reunion tour, ending in March 2022.
Collins's discography includes eight studio albums that have sold 33.5 million certified units in the US and an estimated 150 million records sold worldwide, making him one of the world's best-selling artists. He is one of only three recording artists, along with Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson, who have sold over 100 million records both as solo artists and separately as principal members of a band. He has won eight Grammy Awards, six Brit Awards (winning Best British Male Artist three times), two Golden Globe Awards, one Academy Award, and a Disney Legend Award. He was awarded six Ivor Novello Awards from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors, including the International Achievement Award. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1999, and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Genesis in 2010. He has also been recognised by music publications with induction into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 2012, and the Classic Drummer Hall of Fame in 2013.

Phil Collins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It?s just like me yet
It?s just so different
Where did it come from?
These things that got here
Are all so different
Where does it belong?
It?s just so different
Oh I must see more
Skin so soft
It smells so different
From all I?ve seen before
And yet here, we?re just the same
My heart is beating faster
I must know more about her
There?s something strange that draws me near her
She?s nothing like I?ve seen before
She makes me feel so alive
Tarzan
Tarzan
Jane
Tarzan Oh I see
Tarzan
Tarzan Oh I see
Jane
Oh nononono, I'm Jane
Tarzan
Oh nononono, I'm Jane
Jane
Oh dear, no, My name is Jane Porter
Tarzan
Oh dear, no, My name is Jane Porte..
Jane
STOP
Tarzan, Jane
Tarzan
Tarzan, Jane
Jane
Exactly
Tarzan
I've never felt like this
I feel so different
Being so close to her
Something deep inside feels so different
Since everything has stirred
There?s something so exciting
Somehow more so inviting
It feels so new yet so familiar
Something tells me I will never
Ever be the same again
The song "Different" by Phil Collins is a love duet between two characters, Tarzan and Jane, from the Disney movie "Tarzan." The main theme of the song is exploring differences and finding similarities which lead to a powerful connection between the two characters. Tarzan and Jane feel that they are different from each other, but they also feel a strong attraction and chemistry. They are curious about each other and want to know more about their differences. Tarzan is fascinated by Jane's soft skin and unique smell, while Jane is intrigued by Tarzan's wild and untamed nature. The song is about the beautiful discovery of love and the power of embracing differences to find a deeper connection.
The lyrics in the song are written in such a way that Tarzan and Jane are echoing each other's words, creating a mirrored effect that enhances the idea of two people coming together. The chorus of the song features Tarzan and Jane repeating each other's names - a powerful display of the merging of two beings. The song is an exciting and beautiful moment in the movie where Tarzan and Jane discover love for the first time, realizing that they are not as different as they thought.

You called me from the room in your hotel
All full of romance for someone that you'd met
And telling me how sorry you were leaving so soon
And that you'll miss me sometimes when you're alone
Do I feel lonely too?
You have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
I can't go on, holding on to time
Now we're living separate lives (living separate lives)
Well, I have learned to let you go
And if you lost your love for me, you never let it show
There was no way to compromise
So now we're living separate lives (living separate lives)
Ooh, it's so difficult, love leads to isolation
So you build that wall (you build that wall)
Yes, you build that wall (build that wall)
And you make it stronger
Well, you have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
Some day I might (I might) find myself looking in your eyes
But for now, we'll go on living separate lives
Yes, for now, we'll go on living separate lives
Seperate lives

@superdupertm
Sie haben mich aus Ihrem Hotelzimmer angerufen
Alles voller Romantik für jemanden, den Sie kennengelernt haben
Und sag mir, wie leid es dir tut, dass du so früh gegangen bist
Und dass du mich manchmal vermissen wirst, wenn du allein bist
Fühle ich mich auch einsam?
Du hast kein Recht, mich zu fragen, wie ich mich fühle
Du hast kein Recht, so freundlich mit mir zu sprechen
Ich kann nicht weitermachen, ich halte die Zeit fest
Jetzt leben wir getrennte Leben (leben getrennte Leben)
Nun, ich habe gelernt, dich gehen zu lassen
Und wenn du deine Liebe zu mir verloren hast, lässt du es niemals zu, dass du es zeigst
Es gab keine Möglichkeit, Kompromisse einzugehen
Jetzt leben wir also getrennte Leben (leben getrennte Leben)
Oh, es ist so schwierig, Liebe führt zur Isolation
Also baust du diese Mauer (du baust diese Mauer)
Ja, du baust diese Mauer (baust diese Mauer)
Und du machst es stärker
Nun, Sie haben kein Recht, mich zu fragen, wie ich mich fühle
Du hast kein Recht, so freundlich mit mir zu sprechen
Eines Tages könnte es sein, dass ich in deine Augen schaue
Aber vorerst werden wir weiterhin getrennte Leben führen
Ja, vorerst werden wir getrennte Leben führen
Getrennte Leben

In the 80s hearing this song made me so sad it just goes real deep into your heart. They have such beautiful voices no wonder you want to cry. I am 56 yrs old and it is still a classic even now.
@oliveb.
Yes, I totally agree. I loved this song in the 80s (when I used my imagination to understand the emotions portrayed by these singers) and I still love it today (when I'm able to understand the emotions from personal experience).
@stever7157
When this first came out, I was 13, years old and had never been in love. As a man in my late 40’s I know all to well. Things aren’t always easy and my wife and I are together but separate. I also have to live separate lives from another woman who I wish that I could be more than friends with.
@paulsheffield4729
I'm 55 years old and soon to be 56. I understand exactly how you feel. Certain songs cut straight to my heart as memories are brought back to life
