Against All Odds (Take A Look at Me Now)Phil Collins9rank/position

Phil Collins, a British musician known for his work with the band Genesis and his worldwide success as a solo artist.
His 1984 song “Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)” is a renowned ballad written as the theme for the film Against All Odds.
The track topped the U.S.
charts for three consecutive weeks and won a Grammy Award.
Born from the pain of his own divorce, the lyrics convey lingering feelings for someone he can no longer return to and a heartfelt plea: “Take a look at me now.” Opening with a quiet piano soliloquy and unfolding into a grand arrangement as the emotion rises, the sound surely grips the listener’s heart.

Do You Remember?Phil Collins11rank/position

A song released by Phil Collins.
Its original title was “Lionel.” It features vocals by American singer-songwriter Steven Bishop.
It reached No.
4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
In the UK, a live version was released as a single.
No Way OutPhil Collins12rank/position

This is an insert song from Brother Bear, a work that portrays the disconnect between humans and animals through the relationship between Kenai—who has been transformed into a bear but is actually human—and the bear cub Koda.
It accompanies a crucial scene where Kenai confesses that he was the one who killed Koda’s mother.
The song expresses the torment of feeling compelled to confess precisely because of the deep bond he feels.
The very quiet soundscape, as if mirroring Kenai’s anguish, is striking and further emphasizes the song’s message.
The sense of apology toward the one burdened with sorrow and the painful desire to make amends give the listener a palpable sense of anguish as well.
Love Can’t Be RushedPhil Collins13rank/position

Many people probably first heard this song by The Supremes in their childhood and then fell in love with it all over again as adults after hearing Phil’s cover.
Quite a few must have been surprised by his transformation from Genesis’s drummer—where he was a leading figure in progressive rock—into a solo artist.
It could be fun to pair up, throw on some sunglasses, and humorously recreate those head movements, too.
I want you to gaze at me.Phil Collins14rank/position

The lyrics feel a bit like a farewell song, but I’m especially drawn to the line, “You’re the only one who really knew me at all.” I imagine there are many men in their fifties who feel that way about a woman even now, not just in the past.
