"There's just an empty space."
And finally, a musical break for all of you today:
Check out this amazing, stunning performance of "Against All Odds," piano and vocals performed by Phil Collins at Live Aid 1985.
I've always enjoyed Phil Collins and his music, but as someone who melts over almost anyone that does piano/voice solos...wow. I'd die for a recording of this.
P.S. Phil Collins comments on why he always has a pianist play the song for him now:
"I can't actually play it, I played it once when I wrote it. It was written for face value, and then they did a movie called "Against All Odds," and they asked me to write a song for the movie. I had this song which didn't have finished lyrics, so I came up with these lyrics, and we got a real piano player to play on the record. It was my first number 1 in America, and I tried to play it at Live Aid twice, and the first time, it was very hot in London and my finger slipped off one of the black keys, and it was the wrong note and I felt 70,000 people cringing. And I vowed I'd never play it again."
