Twins’ Reaction To Phil Collins’ Song ‘In The Air Tonight’ Goes Viral

A video of twins Tim and Fred Williams listening to Phil Collins’ song “In the Air Tonight” has gone viral following their priceless reactions.

On Friday, the Grammy Award winner’s name began trending on Twitter over a video from the twins’ “First Time Hearing” video series on YouTube.

The 22-year-old brothers are known for their YouTube Channel “TwinsthenewTrend.” Tim and Fred have gained popularity from posting their reactions to songs that they have never heard.

In the viral video, Tim and Fred appear to be enjoying the song by nodding their heads to the beat and commenting on the lyrics. However, the video of the twins went viral after they reacted to the famous drum solo towards the end of the song.

When the beat drops the twins can’t help but dance in their chairs and eventually paused the song to discuss how surprised they were by the drum solo.

“That was cool how he did that. I ain’t even gonna lie,” Tim says.

Fred adds, “I ain’t never seen somebody drop a beat three minutes [into] a song.”

The moment began to circulate on Twitter, which resulted in Collins’ fans admiring the young men for sharing their opinion about the song.

“These 2 teens listening to In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins for the first time is absolute gold,” a fan tweeted.

YouTube star Nicole Arbour added, “Yooooo y’all been sleeping on Phil Collins while I’ve been a stan since I could stand!”

Meanwhile, Florida politician Pam Keith praised the twins for sharing a warm moment amid the coronavirus pandemic.

“This made me smile & laugh & just...feel wonderful. I have LOVED that Phil Collins song for decades. It BLEW ME AWAY too when I first heard it, just like these young men. I suppose, in these times of disconnection, seeing a true bond through a musical experience uplifted me,” she wrote.

In the past, Tim and Fred have recorded their reactions to Dolly Parton’s “Jolene,” “Piece of My Heart” by Janis Joplin, and Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing in the Dark.”
