Synopsis

In a shadowy, seemingly abandoned warehouse, Phil Collins enters alone and approaches an old film projector. As the song begins, he watches projected scenes from the 1988 movie *Buster*, in which he stars opposite Julie Walters. The romantic film excerpts are intercut with Collins sitting quietly in the room, reflecting on the images while smoking a cigarette. After the final moments of the song, he switches off the projector and lights before leaving the warehouse and closing the door behind him.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video promotes the *Buster* soundtrack and uses footage from the film rather than presenting a conventional performance-based concept.
  • Collins originally recorded the song as a demo intended to guide another singer. While filming *Buster*, he suggested it as a romantic theme for the story's central couple. The demo was later used in the film, leading Collins to record the finished version himself.
  • The song was not written specifically for Collins. Toni Wine and Carole Bayer Sager wrote the lyrics, while the melody was adapted from Muzio Clementi's classical piano music.
  • Collins' recording followed a 1965 hit version by the Mindbenders. His slower, more intimate arrangement became one of the major singles associated with *Buster*.
  • The single reached No. 1 in both the United States and the United Kingdom, and the recording received a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male.

Lyrics

When I'm feeling blue, all I have to do
Is take a look at you, then I'm not so blue
When you're close to me, I can feel your heart beat
I can hear you breathing near my ear
Wouldn't you agree, baby you and me got a groovy kind of love

Anytime you want to you can turn me onto
Anything you want to, anytime at all
When I kiss your lips, ooh I start to shiver
Can't control the quivering inside
Wouldn't you agree, baby you and me got a groovy kind of love, oh

When I'm feeling blue, all I have to do
Is take a look at you, then I'm not so blue
