Could this be the moment Phil Collins has been waiting for all his life?
‘In the Air Tonight’ is again a hit single almost 40 years after its release after a twin couple won the heart of the internet on it for the first time.
The spike in listening comes after Tim and Fred Williams, YouTubers known as “TwinsthenewTrend”, posted a spontaneous reaction video on the iconic drum break in Collins’ ballad in July. The video, which currently has nearly 4 million views on Youtube, was pleased with people who felt the same way when they first heard the classic beat.
The 22-year-old brothers ‘commentary begins with Collins’ own close-up cover art. ‘He looks out when he looks at my soul. I’m scared. I can not look at him, man, ‘joked Fred.
We all watched the video anxiously waiting for the drum break to fall. Once it happens, the cool vibration of the brothers turns into hilarious shock and happy surprise.
In a similar video responding to Dolly Parton’s ‘Jolene’, Parton tweeted, “No point in begging … Jolene has already stolen these two.”
The brothers, who currently have 375,000 subscribers, told CNN that although they initially posted hip-hop reaction videos, they tried out Frank Sinatra, and later fell into new genres.
Tim added, ‘It’s just rare to see people open these days. People do not open up to step outside their comfort zone and simply react to music they do not know. “
