Phil Collins has paid a tribute, on Instagram, to the anniversary of his 1994 single “We Wait And We Wonder,” the third song from his album, ‘Both Sides.’ He writes, produces, and performs every single crest himself; perhaps all those doings still amaze fans several decades later.

And, boy, the comments section really had it going with such a profitable love explosion! Memories from all over and other praises sounded on this post, causing feelings of nostalgia and reminiscence. One user @mahrechecroche, called this person “the best in the world,” where as @cristianeazevedo295 was all praises for this beauty’s voice and justly so. But it’s more than just the talent; @-lety-gonzalez reminiscences of this song take them back to when they were innocent kids, thus proving here that the music of Collins is not only heard but felt.
Then there was a heart-wrming comment by @adilsonmhp on memories with family, saying they would just put the track to replay every time it was time for their kid to sleep. To which @manoela.ars replied,’ Maybe that’s why I love it so much!’ Cueing a round ‘aww’ from the reading crowd.
Of course, it’s very lovable, but it was not totally heart-struck. Jokingly saying that the tambourine is “gorgeous gorgeous and a bit more gorgeous,” later adding that “the song is alright too,” added some flavor to it:@charlie_elizabeth007. Classic.@rvpmatt123, today the message of the song still rings eerily relevant, proving again that in Collins, the word always hits deep, regardless of the time period.
Some fans of @simoneginja went deep by saying “mega work with this album” and correcting another about the release year (1991, not 1994, but then again what are details). Some, like @s.collins40, shared funny weekend cooking rituals apparently under the theme of Collins’ “Home by the Sea.”
International love was also traced down in the post with @francynayra_silva claiming Collins “the best of all times” in Portuguese while @bertinareyes50 gushed about that voice in Spanish. And last but not least there was @dorogoy156 who needed no translation for that sentiment, saying, “god this voice i go back in time.

So what’s the moral of the story? Some 30 years down the line, “We Wait And We Wonder” is much more than just a song-a time machine, a soothing lullaby, a weekend cooking companion, and, for some, the soundtrack to life’s most important and mundane occurrences. Collins made this track all on his own, but impact? That’s a full-blown collaboration with the world.
