Against All Odds | Phil Collins - Violin Cover

https://alihanapiyah.bandcamp.com/ Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)" (also titled "Against All Odds") is a song by English drummer, singer and songwriter Phil Collins. It was recorded for the soundtrack to the 1984 film of the same name. It is a power ballad in which its protagonist implores an ex-lover to "take a look at me now", knowing that reconciliation is "against all odds", but worth the gamble. The single reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, the first of seven US No. 1s for Collins in his solo career.[4] It also topped the charts in Canada, Ireland, and Norway, while peaking at No. 2 in the UK singles chart. The song has been covered by several singers, some versions of which have been successful in both the US and UK markets. It has twice reached No. 1 in the UK: the pairing of Mariah Carey and pop group Westlife in September 2000,[5] and then again by Steve Brookstein, the first winner of The X Factor, in January 2005.[6] Background and development Collins was approached to write the title song to the American neo-noir film Against All Odds (1984) while it was still in its preliminary "rough cut form".[7] Director Taylor Hackford, who previously used a song for An Officer and a Gentleman (1982), planned to do the same for Against All Odds,[8] which is a remake of Out of the Past (1947). When he signed with Atlantic Records, he was provided with a roster of artists, among whom Collins was chosen to render the film's theme song based on the quality of his voice.[8] At the time the soundtrack was being completed, Collins was on tour with Genesis. Hackford flew to Chicago to see one of the band's concerts. Collins watched the film on a videocassette recorder in his hotel room and agreed to appear on the soundtrack.[9] Hackford said that it was a "textbook case of designing a song to reflect what the film is".[8] The song appears in the film as background music during the closing credits.[10] Originally titled "How Can You Just Sit There?", the song's music was written by Collins during sessions for his debut solo album Face Value (1981), but it became discarded as it was his least favourite of the several ballads he wrote at the time.[11][12] Nor was it included on Hello, I Must Be Going! (1982), as many newer songs were written for it. Collins eventually presented the demo to Hackford when approached to write a song for Against All Odds, which he loved. Collins then penned the lyrics, which were for the film.[12] Due to lack of time available (as he was on tour with Genesis), he had arranger Arif Mardin produce it, and they worked on it over two days.[12] The piano performance is by New York musician Rob Mounsey. Piano, keyboard bass and a string section arranged and conducted by Mardin were recorded at RCA Studios, New York, while Collins recorded vocals and drums in Los Angeles.[8] On episode 339 of This American Life, "Break Up", Collins relays that the song was inspired and written shortly after the breakup between him and his first wife. In the interview he says that the divorce transformed him from being a musician into also being a lyricist.[citation needed] The song was first included on a Collins album on the 1998 compilation Hits, and it also appeared on his compilation Love Songs: A Compilation... Old and New (2004). A live performance of the song also appears on the Serious Hits... Live! album. In 2015, Collins released the original demo recording from the Face Value sessions as part of his Take A Look At Me Now project
