We all have those albums that were released in that magical period of life where we were just discovering the mystery and miracle of music. For me the years of 1982-1987 were that wondrous time. One album that stand out as one of the pinnacles of my childhood and that I’ve heard at least 100 times all the way through is No Jacket Required by Phil Collins. A little history on Phil going solo. He took a break from Genesis to release his debut, Face Value in 1981, an emotional juggernaut, song he wrote during the painful breakup with his first wife. It was a big success selling over 5 million copies in the us and 1.5 in the UK. Then phil released Hello I must Be Going in 82, another multi-platinum affair which contained his first top 10, You can’t Hurry Love. Then he was nominated for a slew of awards for his heart wrenching ballad, Against All Odds from the movie of the same name.

He was nominated for an Oscar and golden globe for best original song, he lost both but did win a grammy for best male pop vocal performance. Right after that, Phil dropped his third album No Jacket Required, It would blast into the stratosphere, putting the likes of Madonna, Michael Jackson, Prince on notice. Phil was at the top of the charts. The album debuted at #1 in the UK and it would later spend 7 weeks at #1 on Billboard 200 selling 12 million copies in America alone. MAKING NO JACKET REQUIRED ONE OF THE TOP 50 SELLING ALBUMS OF ALL TIME.

“One More Night” is composed and performed with an intense yearning & empathic anxiety webbed in a fragile love that could be lost if you make the wrong move. We can all relate to the nervousness you experience in a young relationship- when you have strong feelings for someone, and you struggle with how to find that balance between letting them know how you feel, and not blowing it by appearing desperate. Phil nailed that angst in verse 2:"I've been sitting here so long, wasting time Just staring at the phone And I was wondering should I call you Then I thought, maybe you're not alone
