Phil Collins - Long Long Way To Go Lyrics

A brilliant song whose lyrics are sadly as relevant as they ever were.

There is a stupid fire remix of this song on soundcloud by Kennedy Sic

The best songwriter and singer on planet 🌎 I LOVE YOU PHIL COLLINS!!!

Correction: the best DRUMMER, SONGWRITER, SINGER.

@Another YouTube Account seems really down to Earth as well. Alot of British gentlemen are humble.

@The Irish Brigade Indeed

This song goes great with Splinter Cell And Ghost Recon Wildlands (Just my Opinion) R.I.P Tom Clancy.....And Much Love To Miami Vice Also one of the best Buddy Cop Shows In The 8O’s after Starsky & Hutch.

Phil Collins - the definitive voice of the 80's
Miami Vice - the definitive show of the 80's.
Proud to say I grew up during this time. Watched Miami Vice from the premiere two-part movie episode to the series finale. Childhood well spent. And OHHHHH, that MUSIC!!!
Whenever I hear this song I remember the Miami Vice episode it came from, the one where Rico Tubbs watched helplessly as his infant son and his girlfriend were blown up.
Sting singing along with Phil Collins is epic. Two of the voices that defined the 80's.

The S2 finale when Rico Tubbs lost his family...😭😭😭

This song is on the Miami Vice Soundtrack. When Tubbs lost his Babys mother and son..🙏

Miami Vice... adoro questa canzone ♥️♥️🤩🤩🎼🎼🎵🔝🔝

Phil the Miami Vice Iconic Voice! <3

Incredible Music best song of the world!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Underrated is the word on this one! 132 idiots with no musical value still exist out there.

Conscious,very deep and developed emotion built on, well written song : "total truth." Zzzz

NJR is a masterpiece of an album.Every track is brilliant.PC was on top form in the 80s both solo and with Genesis.

Ese Sting como se nota que es el que genio

Completely awesome

I always thought this track would be perfect for the Netflix teen drama "13 Reasons Why." With its despondent lyrics and somber atmospheric tone, "Long Long Way to Go" would be appropriate for such a dramatic TV show, especially since the program tends to use vintage 80s tunes

great song remember when it was on miami vice loved that show and always had great music in it

I picture myself looking at 8mm tapes of an old relationship that died and the pain and anguish is too overwhelming to continue watching. I have no other choice but to ....switch it off.

Where has this song been all my life??

Evergreen Song, deeply intense ✨✨✨

there is NOT 1 single thing including but not limited to music that says 80's more than Phil Collins

Not to sound morbid, but I'm listening to this the Monday following the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. The lyrics in this song made me think of the two tragic events.


For the record I grew up in the 80s but never was a Miami Vice fan. It was a Friday night show and on Fridays I was out making trouble in the neighborhood with friends. :)

love it

Sad we are not in 80s.

Phil and Sting were serious about this one..

Phil wrote it alone

Obrigada Phil ♥️

100 years from now, this song will haunt the daylights out of people, as it should.
What a masterpiece.

cold case sound track saison 2 episode 9

Cette chanson est un reve ......❤️

Loved this scene from Miami Vice...remember watching the show every week as a little girl...it was avant-garde

I listened this song 12years old.
I met the song of PC
the first time.
I love PC since that time💓

Awesome song .....".seen all i wanna see today ......turn it off you want to .....switch it off" ......never goes away 😎😎😎

Not that long now! It's #ENDGAME:
DESTRUCTION OF VANGUARD WITH CONTINUED LOOTING OF OUR NATIONS LEADING TO DESTRUCTION OF OUR SPECIES AND PLANET
OR
BOURGEOIS DEMOCRATIC REVOLUTION SPREADING FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY + GROWING OVER INTO SOCIALIST REVOLUTION! AS LENIN SAYS THERE IS NO WALL OF CHINA BETWEEN THE TWO!

DON'T GO CRITICIZING ME FOR VOLUNTARISM, VANGUARDISM, OR BEING A BLANQUIST CONSPIRITORIAL INTRIGUER unless it's #REASONBASED #EVIDENCEBASED!

Lyrics

While I sit here trying to think of things to say
Someone lies bleeding in a field somewhere
So it would seem we've still got a long long way to go
I've seen all I wanna see today

While I sit here trying to move you anyway I can
Someone's son lies dead in a gutter somewhere
And it would seem that still got a long long way to go
But I can't take it anymore

Turn it off if you want to
Switch it off it will go away
Turn it off if you want to
Switch it off or look away

While we sit and we talk and talk and we talk some more
Someone's loved one's heart stops beating in a street somewhere
So it would seem we've still got a long long way to go, I know
I've heard all I wanna hear today

Turn it off if you want to (turn it off if you want to)
Switch it off it will go away (switch it off it will go away)
Turn it off if you want to (turn it off if you want to)
Switch it off or look away (switch it off or look away)

Switch it off
Switch it off
Switch it off
Switch it off
Switch it off
Switch it off
Switch it off
Turn it off

I blame this album for at least 40% of my hearing loss.

Who else was waiting for I Don’t Wanna Know to come on right after this?

2nd best song Phil ever made 1st best in the air tonight

Bellissima!!!! Grazie Phil ❤

Grande Phil!

Just heard this song for the 1st time..got chills down my spine

There was an Eclectic Album formatted station in suburban Baltimore that would play this song on a regular basis in the mid-'80s. I miss both that station and hearing this song.

Have loved this since I first heard it the 80s~ my favourite Phil Collins' song.❤️

With food shortage and over population, some people haven't been home in decades or longer. Each day that goes by is a day lost. Peace!

Classic

Great song pal

When you’re on the way to do a big deal at the docks

Best song on the album hands down

Agreed.

This and Take Me Home.

Amazingly done

Fed x 50 states switch it up brought me here brah

While I sit here trying to think of things to say
Someone lies bleeding in a field somewhere
So it would seem we've still got a long long way to go
I've seen all I wanna see today

While I sit here trying to move you anyway I can
Someone's son lies dead in a gutter somewhere
And it would seem that we've got a long long way to go
But I can't take it anymore

Turn it off if you want to
Switch it off it will go away
Turn it off if you want to
Switch it off or look away

While I sit and we talk and talk and we talk some more
Someone's loved one's heart stops beating in a street somewhere
So it would seem we've still got a long long way to go, I know
I've heard all I wanna hear today

Turn it off if you want to (turn it off if you want to)
Switch it off it will go away (switch it off it will go away)
Turn it off if you want to (turn it off if you want to)
Switch it off or look away (switch it off or look away)

Switch it off
Turn it off

thanks for the lyrics

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.

One of the saddest songs played in Miami Vice.

Wow! Sounds better than ever remastered!

Miami Fkcn Vice!!!! Yeah I'm old, whatever.

@rgprichporter Yeah, Tom cruse was spot on. loved jamie fox in the movie Miami Vice too. That movie vanilla sky , Cruize was damn good in that, if my memory serves correct

@rgprichporter I think, i read episode 11

@rgprichporter no. I was just meaning the intensity of Miami Vice was light years before Criminal Minds.

They killed my family man!

We're not old... we're vintage... 😎

You can definitely feel the influence of Sting in this song. An old favorite from way back

Not really influence. Just background vocals. Phil Collins wrote the music and lyrics.

Agreed. The song feels very much like it could have been on Synchronicity.

WLAC-FM (now WNRQ) used this as a weather bed in the 1980's.

This song is so haunting and true

Jett Jackson.

This is easily the most underrated Phil Collins song. So prevalent, captivating, haunting, beautiful, and mind-blowing. And Sting doing backup vocals only adds to it's brilliance.

Sting is the perfect compliment.

bleep77 OMG!!!! You're kidding. Neat.

Absolutely. This song is mind-blowing. The words of pain and death are frightening and capturing.

Bleep77 you said what I was thinking.

All hid songs are underated. Genesis, had phil audition scores of singers, before the band gave him the job as vocalist.

Amazing instrumental!

Except it has vocals...

Cold Case

Miami vice

Sons and Lovers Season 2 Finale

I don't like remasters. I won't buy them. Not unless they are done by someone good like Ted Jensen. Film Score albums are a little different though.

So relevant to these troubling times....💚

And only gaining relevance as time goes on.

@TheComputerGeek010101001 Yes. It will take us a long time to get over the legacy of Obama and corrupt left-wing governments worldwide.

just picked up this "No Jacket Required" remastered version on vinyl yesterday. and was introduced to this song as well. its amazing!
