People love these teens’ reaction to hearing Phil Collins for the first time
It’s been a few years – nearly 40 – since Phil Collins almost went to number one with In The Air Tonight.
But despite its ubiquity there are some people – obviously – who have never heard it before. And this video of these twin brothers listening to it for the first time went viral because their reaction is so brilliant.

This made me smile & laugh & just…feel wonderful.
I have LOVED that Phil Collins song for decades. It BLEW ME AWAY too when I first heard it, just like these young men.
I suppose, in these times of disconnection, seeing a true bond through a musical experience uplifted me https://t.co/Gk5Rm4gdBH

Seeing them lose it at the drum solo just made my day I’ve heard it so much over the years, it barely catches my attention anymore.

Reaction channels are a little silly, but damn do I love getting to see people experience shit like this for the first time. We get so used to the things that we know, it’s nice to remember what it is like for it to be new.

We were all waiting for their reaction to the drum break and it paid off! I love watching kids react to old music!

You either die a hero, or live long enough to see urban youths decide Phil Collins is cool again. https://t.co/4VC02iTMI0
