Wake Up Call (Phil Collins Song)
"Wake Up Call" is a double A-side 2003 single release by English drummer Phil Collins from his seventh solo album ''Testify'', released in 2002. The song was released in a double A-side format alongside " The Least You Can Do". The music video made for "Wake Up Call", showed Collins waking early and going around Geneva giving a wake-up call to local residents. Before long, a crowd gathers to follow him and starts to pester him with questions, of which the last question enquires about a possible Genesis reunion, to which Collins shakes his head and makes a funny face. However, he did re-unite with the band in 2007 for Turn It On Again: The Tour. The question about the reunion was meant to be asked by Tony Smith, the manager of both Phil Collins and Genesis, but when he refused to appear on camera, it posed by the video's producer, Paul Flattery. Flattery and his director/partner Jim Yukich had made virtually all the videos, concert films and television specials for both Phil and G ...

Songs Written By Phil Collins
A song is a musical composition intended to be performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally "by ear" are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the mass market are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers, and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers ...

2003 Singles
3 (three) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 2 and preceding 4, and is the smallest odd prime number and the only prime preceding a square number. It has religious or cultural significance in many societies. Evolution of the Arabic digit The use of three lines to denote the number 3 occurred in many writing systems, including some (like Roman and Chinese numerals) that are still in use. That was also the original representation of 3 in the Brahmic (Indian) numerical notation, its earliest forms aligned vertically. However, during the Gupta Empire the sign was modified by the addition of a curve on each line. The Nāgarī script rotated the lines clockwise, so they appeared horizontally, and ended each line with a short downward stroke on the right. In cursive script, the three strokes were eventually connected to form a glyph resembling a with an additional stroke at the bottom: ३. The Indian digits spread to the Caliphate in the 9th ...

Testify (Phil Collins Album)
''Testify'' is the seventh solo studio album by English musician Phil Collins. Released in 2002, the album debuted at No. 30 on the American ''Billboard'' 200 albums chart, which was also the album's peak position. It was also the second Phil Collins studio album where no track peaked within the American top 40 singles chart. It was also his lowest charting album in the UK, becoming his only solo effort not to reach the Top 5. However, the album achieved success in some countries of Continental Europe. It is his second album not to be co-produced by Hugh Padgham, who co-produced Collins' most successful albums. Despite the shortage of success the album achieved, his subsequent First Final Farewell Tour proved to be very popular. The album was reissued as a deluxe edition on CD, vinyl and digital on 15 April 2016, including a new second disc with bonus tracks. Production ''Testify'' was crafted over a two-year period at Collins' home in Switzerland, and was recorded in France and ...

Double A-side
The A-side and B-side are the two sides of phonograph records and cassettes; these terms have often been printed on the labels of two-sided music recordings. The A-side usually features a recording that its artist, producer, or record company intends to be the initial focus of promotional efforts and radio airplay and hopefully become a hit record. The B-side (or "flip-side") is a secondary recording that typically receives less attention, although some B-sides have been as successful as, or more so than, their A-sides. Use of this language has largely declined in the 21st century as the music industry has transitioned away from analog recordings towards digital formats without physical sides, such as CDs, downloads and streaming. Nevertheless, some artists and labels continue to employ the terms ''A-side'' and ''B-side'' metaphorically to describe the type of content a particular release features, with ''B-side'' sometimes representing a "bonus" track or other material. ...

Home (Bone Thugs-n-Harmony Song)
"Home" is a song by rap group Bone Thugs-n-Harmony released as the third single from their album ''Thug World Order''. The song features samples from British singer Phil Collins' song " Take Me Home". Music video The group flew to Geneva, Switzerland in order to feature Collins in the video. According to band members, "Collins was like, if y'all wanna do it, it's cool, y'all go ahead and do it, but if y'all wanna do a video, y'all gotta come here...to Switzerland" to shoot the video. The video carries a serious and reflective tone, with the Bone Thugs and Collins walking separately around the city, interpolating between quick flash scenes of the city streets, scenes of a drumming parade, and the members rapping (singing in Collins' case) either inside a train station or at one of several spots outside (mostly accompanied by at least one other member). Emphasizing the difference between Collins and the rappers, his motions are noticeably calmer and less vivid than Bone's. Bizzy Bon ...
