“They were in my head as I was maybe in the womb”
The Emily In Paris star spoke about her dad’s music during a recent interview on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.
After joking that she attended her first live concert while she was still “in a stomach”, Lily was asked to share her favourite Phil Collins track.
“Probably ‘In The Air Tonight’,” she responded in the show’s ‘Clubhouse Jukebox’ segment, singling out Phil’s 1981 debut solo single. “I don’t know, there’s too many.”
Cohen then asked the actor if she had a favourite Genesis song, to which she replied: “Ooh, I don’t know…”
Lily continued: “The funny thing is that I have these memories as a kid of songs that I don’t know if they’re actually real.
“Because they were in my head as I was maybe in the womb. But then when I went to the first Genesis concert that I actually remembered as an adult, there were songs that came on that I went, ‘That’s a real song?’ I thought that was just a melody in my head. It was really weird.”
Genesis first broke up in 2000 when Lily was 11 years old. Their 15th and final studio album, ‘Calling All Stations’, was released in 1997.
