I dont think it was a bad album at all just quite different the early ones. Phil did a good effort to write and produce the songs himself. he sings quite nasally on this one.
"Both Sides" was a good CD. I think the music critics were way too hard on Phil when he did this one. This song & video deserve a lot more airplay than what they get.
Very good song! For me this talks for me abaout the strong and diffucult community we have, Phil Collins sing and told abaoit the problems in the community and that´s wery a wery good job by him. When he´s singning the high tones with the voice it´s very cool!
One thing about this song is that it never got alot of airplay when it first came out which is sad cause this is one of Phil's all time best songs he has done in his career (solo/Genesis)
I've heard this song on a Music Choice Lite Rock station this morning and it was the first time I've heard this song on the radio since around 1994 or so.
What gets me about this song is that each subject Phil touches on is such a deep topic that easily whole albums could be created on...yet he manages to succinctly extract the key emotions and messages evoked in these situations into 6:30 of heavenly music....awesome! love it
Good on ya man, i agree with you, they're great lyrics. I'm a big phil collins fan and this is one of his best. Keep safe over there in L.A, look after yourself mate. Mark, Cambridge, UK
SONG TRIVIA: The part of the song where Phil sings about an encounter between a white man and a ghetto kid with a gun, in which the outcome is the ghetto kid telling the white man that he carries the gun for respect, was inspired by the 1991 movie Grand Canyon, in which Kevin Kline's character gets stuck in a bad part of L.A. and nearly gets mugged by a group of hoodlums.
Outstanding Song! Also a great sentiment. The only problem is that most of us don't care enough to actually see both sides. It takes too much time, I'm busy, a littany of excuses because we don't want to see both sides of it.
Noone is "too young or too old" for the good music. It is so nice if young people like classics like Clapton or Collins, Peter Gabriel or John Lennon, I like it the same way just like when older generations love today's singers and artists. Just like for instance Plato, the philosopher kick asses of many today's people and will even in the year 3000 and yet he lived 2500 years ago! This is called eternal wisdom,eternal art,eternal love. Thank you.
Phil Collins is one of the best drummer in the world. His voice touchs me evrytime I listen to. It's amazing. The texts are so true and they give me a special feeling. Phil, you're great!
Maybe it's a little late to tell you, but its about that you don't have to hurry in your judgements, not always the situations are what they seem to be, there's always a reason to everything that happens in your sorroundings, and you have to keep that in mind, so you don't make any action for false reasons
omg, what a legend, oh and what i like about this film is the viewing of our troops who fight hard so we can sleep safely at night, ty 4 postin this vid, awesome!! 10/10
The mind can be so creative at times. I'm actually seeing this video for the first time and it is not different from what i imagined it to be. Thank for posting it. Phil is the best that ever happened to music in all ramification
Yes, he played all of the instruments for this entire album. However, I read that he actually didn't play guitar but instead, since he knows the technicalities of playing guitar, he was able to use a keyboard to replicate the guitar sound.
Indeed Phil is a great musician.He will forever be remembered for his song writings. I really respect that man. He is the greatest ever I have come across.Well done ma pa am always in love with your songs most particularly botth sides of story. I will listen and listen and listen to this one. You are the greatest.
this song is fab HE'S SO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
this is his best song i think, it reli makes yooh think, ma favourite lyric is
"white man turns the corner, finds himself within a different world, ghetto kid grabs his shoulder, throws up against the wall, he said would yooh respect me? if i didnt have this gun? coz without it i dont get nun, and thts why i carry 1."
Have always loved this song. Now I even love it more coz of the video. I also think "Both Sides" is one of his best albums. So personal, and deep..Beautiful songs. Love you Phil!
I always thought this was one of Phil's most underrated hits, you sure don't hear this one very often anymore and this was one of Phil's songs I've never heard often on the radio.
Hm, what say? . I saw this video, when I was 14 (?). Now I am 27 and I have looked for this video again. When I am seeing this again I am said..... Phil Collins is good singer and he has good ideas.
I agree to the comment above that this is the masterpiece of Phil Collins. I have been searching for this video for long. Thanks for bringing it here.
WOW, thanks for the video!!!! I always wondered what this video looked like (the song is Collins' masterpiece, I'm sure of that) but this is the first time it's appeared on YouTube! It's probably a coincidence that you uploaded this only yesterday but thanks a bunch, once again!

I hadnt realized it til now but Phil Collins' songs are powerful and emotive. Yet more good music that's relegated to history.
I think for the mostpart, pop music died in the 1990's.

good message, not common for U.S. american popsongs.
