When Phil Collins was young, he went out to swim with his friends, and one of his friends started to drown. A man had walked by and saw the little boy had been drowning, but the man didn't do anything. A couple years later Phil wrote "In the air tonight". The song was obviously dedicated to the man. Phil had sent the man tickets to his concert, where he would sing the song. When he did sing the song, he put the spotlight on the man and he sang the song. The man had felt so guilty, he had actually killed himself when he got home. The song isn't about the drowning, and the man killing himself, the song was just specifically meant to show the man how he had felt. And it is "In the air tonight".

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

Tonite is just a shorter, but incorrect, way to spell tonight. It doesn't mean anything different.
