Teens' reaction to classic song is proof of how timeless Phil Collins is

On July 27, brothers Tim and Fred Williams took to their YouTube channel TwinsthenewTrend to share their reactions to Phil Collins’ 1981 hit “In the Air Tonight”. In the nearly eight-minute video, the brothers are seen calmly nodding their heads to the track’s opening sequence, which consists of a basic drum machine pattern. As the chords enter, Tim gets excited, saying, “Okay, hold up. Sound like they finna go cray”. When Collins starts singing the first line of the song, Tim pauses the track for a second. “He said, ‘Hold on.’ Hold on, hold on, hold on,” Tim hilariously says. “Phil Collins, man. Man, let me put on a seatbelt real quick, man. Hold up”. As the song continues, it becomes clear that twins are clearly enjoying the vocals and the ominous keyboard sounds. But perhaps the best part of the video takes place when the song’s legendary drum break occurs. “I ain’t never seen nobody drop a beat three minutes in a song,” Fred says. By the end of the song, both Tim and Fred can agree on one thing: Collins “killed” that song
