Andrew Goodwin's Theory - Lyrics And Video

Lyrics And Video


In Jesus He Knows Me by Genesis Phil Collins sings about Evangelical TV hosts and the shady business side of the profession. Throughout the video Collins is shown as a preacher both on air and in rich wealthy locations. The lyrics of the song match the visuals as the billboard and magazine appear as the lines are sung. Furthermore the more critical lines are reflected with shots of Collins in exotic locations and black and white photos strengthening the link to alternative motives. The chorus shots of the main stage show Collins as a stereotypical preacher family with the shots becoming more hectic towards the end. During the final chorus money is shown falling down alongside fast cutting with a sign showing money increase. This video emphasizes the message of the song through the mise-en-scene.
