"We Wait and We Wonder" is third and final single performed by Phil Collins from his 1993 album ''Both Sides''. ==History== The early 1990s saw a high scale of terrorism witnessed within Britain. This inspired Collins to write about how someone lives under such circumstances. "To the outsider it seems that we in Britain live daily under the cloud of terrorism. That familiarity sometimes makes you think of it as almost normal, then suddenly something will happen..." - Sleeve note from the album.〔''Both Sides'' sleeve note.〕 The single didn't launch the album to the similar heights Collins' previous efforts had achieved. It enjoyed similar success to the previous singles from the album, reaching #45 on the U.K. Charts, but failing to chart in the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100. It was to be Collins' last single before the lead single of his next album ''Dance into the Light'' in 1996. The B-side varied. It was either "Take Me with You", "For a Friend", "Hero" Or Stevies Blues ("There's a Place for Us" Instrumental). "Hero" itself originally appeared on David Crosby's album ''Thousand Roads'', with Phil singing backing vocals. The version from the "We Wait and We Wonder" single had Phil being the only one singing vocals. The music video featured Collins and touring band members performing the song on the Both Sides stage set-up. The song is shortened down from the album length. The second song on the album, "Can't Turn Back the Years" featured the same set and idea for its video but did not receive an official single release. As well as being performed during the entirety of the 1994–1995 tour promoting the album, "We Wait and We Wonder" was also performed as an encore/extra song during the 2005 leg of the First Final Farewell Tour. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「We Wait and We Wonder」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
