Collins was asked by the London Times newspaper whether Cadbury's made it clear to him that the advert would feature a gorilla playing drums to the song.
The Cadbury's television advertisement was one of the best-received commercials in the UK in recent times and it succeeded in helping to boost sales of Dairy Milk by an increase of 9% in a year.
#Naked eyes always something there to remind me drum track tv
Finally in 2007 after the song was featured in a TV advert for Cadbury's Dairy Milk, featuring a drumming gorilla, the song reached #14. In 1988 a re-mix by Dutch DJ and producer Ben Liebrand got to #4. On its original release in 1981 it peaked at #2. The song has charted in the UK on three different occasions. I never wrote anything down and then afterward, I listened to it and wrote them down." The lyrics you hear for 'In the Air Tonight,' I just sang. I remember the first principle I had for making my record was that I would get a voice down very quickly so everything else would fit to the voice. I was coming from Genesis recording and rehearsing history where sometimes we didn't know what the vocal was going to be doing when we recorded the track because lyrics were sometimes written after the track was recorded. I probably added an acoustic Fender piano pretty early. You could eliminate certain sounds and program bass drums and snare drums, so I programmed a bass drum part into it, but basically the rest of it was already on there. 'In the Air Tonight' was just a drum machine pattern that I took off that CR78 drum machine. Said Collins: "I got back to find that I had a lot of time on my hands because the family wasn't there, I rang up and said, 'Can I have my drum machine?' because I had to start writing some of this music that was inside me.įace Value was all written over a period of a year-and-a-half, and some songs were written overnight.
"The Naked Eyes" is also a solo artist from Perth Scotland, mixing electronic and acoustic music.In an interview with Mix magazine, Collins explained that he wrote this song after returning from a tour. Byrne released a solo album, The Real Illusion in 2001, which featured some of the last tracks he wrote with Fisher for a proposed third Naked Eyes album. It will be released independently on the PJB label. Byrne ended up doing session work (he is heard on Stevie Wonder's "Part-Time Lover" and wrote and produced "I Am the Cute One" for Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen in 1992) while Fisher joined the group Climie Fisher.įisher died Augfrom complications following stomach surgery.īyrne continues to use the group name and will soon be releasing Fumbling Under the Covers, which consists of covers of Bob Dylan, The Beatles, David Bowie, and others many of them acoustic. However, their second album, Fuel for the Fire and the single "(What) In the Name of Love", were not as well-received and the group broke up soon after its release. Their second and third singles, "Promises, Promises" and "When the Lights Go Out", were also hit singles.
The two had formerly played in a band called Neon with future members of Tears for Fears and stayed together as a duo after the group broke up. The group consisted of childhood friends from Bath, England, Pete Byrne on vocals and Rob Fisher on keyboards. Some versions of this song (including that of Naked Eyes) have the word "(There's)" dropped from the title. The song reached number one in the UK in 1964 for Sandie Shaw. Naked Eyes was an Eighties synthpop duo, best known for their first single, a cover of the Burt Bacharach / Hal David standard "(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me" (Bacharach himself has cited the cover as a personal favourite).
