Phil wrote this song after traveling through Washington DC on his bus. going to the concert venue. He said he never saw so much human suffering. He was so affected by it, he passed around a donation basket at his concerts and doubled whatever was collected at every concert he performed after that.
Can confirm this. Saw him at MSG-NYC for this tour, which was UNBELEIVABL & 3 hrs long, he asked that we'd please donate instead of buying any of his concert merchandise. Stand up guy & GREATEST FREAKIN DRUMMER EVER!
D.C s horrible, I can remember in 90's the veterans sleeping on the vents to keep warm, and people setting in doorways begging. It's like this everywhere, I myself have lived 7 years with no running water, because my town wants 150 grand to run it to my house, and I'm not important enough in my state for them to do it. Our govt has forgotten us.
This song was made in 1990 what it is knowing I saw Phil Collins and Genesis he plays piano and guitar too
Just imagine what he would think now. DC has gotten so much worse, sad.
That’s wild. I never knew that. Heart of gold!
Pray for Phil Collins as he is not doing well. My favorite 80s artist by far.
He can’t drum anymore. His son is drumming for him now. His daughter, Lily Collins, is the star of the Netflix hit, “Emily in Paris”. She regularly updates fans on social media about her dad’s condition and current health.
If you have a home, you live in paradise.
Your life is paradise compared to others... that's what this song asks us to remember. To be humble, to see others as humans.
Life can be paradise for some and hell for others. Those living the paradise part often overlook those living the hell part.
This song always makes me cry. Because Phil has always cared for the homeless!
He's basically saying that compared to all the people in poverty and suffering. People like you and me with a roof over our heads and food in our tummies, we live in paradise compared to them.
Phil is a great supporter of Homeless charities and used to have collections at his gigs and then matched the collection with his own cash!
I’m a 73 year old white woman, a widow. The more I watch your reaction videos the more I learn about you but more importantly I learn more about the world through your eyes. I’ve never really been exposed to rappers and hip hop, that all came along after my music days were the most important things to me. I watched some of your Black Pegasus rapper music after I had watched some of your reaction videos. I’m glad I was exposed to you in that order. I would never have guessed that rapper was a devoted family man and a Christian. Talk about not judging a book by its cover. Or judging the rapper by his teeth (I say that because you had some narly gold teeth in one of your videos. LOL. ) You taught me a good lesson, a fresher course, to look deeper than the outward appearance. I don’t know you, but, I think I have gotten to know your heart especially while watching your reaction to this Phil Collins song from 1989. You are awesome and it seems you have your priorities straight. Condolences for losing your Mom. She’d be proud of who and what her son turned out to be. Your words make a difference for the good of the world.
Your message touched me. Thank you.
@@shanreynolds2197 thank you for saying so. I just wrote my heart.
I live in CO also I used to be homeless and part of being part of The Denver Rescue Mission I would help out in the soup kitchens and Salvation Army. Everyone has a story not everyone is on drugs or alcohol! I never thought I would be in that situation but I was I left an abusive situation to make a better life for my kids and myself! I love this song because he is addressing the world not just one country! God Bless You all and remember the song Their are angles among us!
❤ I'm glad you're not in the situation anymore and that there was help out there and I'm sure it wasn't enough. I always loved this song because of stories like yours. You can't judge someone when you don't their story. God bless you and your kids❤
I live in CO, the homeless situation is so unfortunate. I help when and however I can. Some people tell me "don't help them they'll just use it for drugs" but I say It's not my place to judge, if I can't give without judgement then I shouldn't be giving. God Bless God's people...the poor, the addicted, the imprisoned, the suffering...for the world shall be theirs!
This video came out in the late 1980's when the homeless population exploded in the United States. Something to know about Phil Collins is that not only did he use this song to raise money for homeless programs, but he also played both Live Aid concerts which were created to raise funds for Ethiopian famine relief.
Compared to what it is today it did not explode. Skid Roads are so much larger now.
@@llothar68 I can agree that the homeless population is larger today, however that has been because of a steady increase since then. Though there was a similar explosion around 2008.
Phil Collins is one of life's good people.....................................uk
Every single time I hear this I cry!!
Phil Collins and Genesis were absolutely amazing
Phil is from Uk, he was in Washington on tour & what he saw inspired this song. Love & light from Wales UK 💜🏴🌻
If u have a roof over your head and food to eat - that's paradise !!
I feel the same way. I don't want to feed the addiction with money, but I will buy anyone a meal. I was in one of my favorite restaurants for lunch at work one day and a homeless man came in asking for something to eat from the patrons. Everyone ignored him. I went to him, brought him to the counter and told him to order anything he wanted. He ordered a full steak meal (this was a Lebanese place) and a drink. It cost me $20, only 1/2 hour of work for me, but everything to him. He cried when he thanked me, and I was blessed for the rest of the day for his gratitude.
Phil Collins - A Groovy Kind Of Love
He's talking to us - listeners and viewers. When we constantly complaining about everything, but there are millions of people for whom roof over the head, food and clothes are actually a paradise in which we are living our everyday lives.
Phil became the drummer for Genesis in 1970, at age 19. He took over the role of lead singer in 1975 following the departure of Peter Gabriel. Phil began a successful solo career in the 1980s. "Another Day in Paradise", the whole song focuses on Phil encouraging us to be more sympathetic to the plights of the homeless and less fortunate in our societies. So, whenever we see someone struggling with homelessness, we should remember how blessed we are because we are in "paradise" as compared to the helpless poor.
This song definitely makes you think twice!!!
This is a heavy one. I give money without judgement, spend it on whatever gets you through the day. If you want to see more of Phils character, check out him and Philip Bailey - Easy Lover
People hate on homeless people who don’t want food given to them (from random strangers). They don’t realize a lot of people purposefully tamper with it putting glass in it or dog feces because they think it’s funny.
I got ejected from a rollover crash on the highway and was in a coma for a week and spent months recovering. I was prescribed opioids and was on it for a few years til the DEA cracked down and all the patients were given a months worth of meds and basically cut off cold turkey since no one wanted to take patients on long term opioids. You basically became radioactive.
So it obviously doesn’t end well. I eventually turned to heroin like everyone else. I did get clean and have 4 years clean after finding what worked for me (suboxone).
But yeah I see people begging on the el and subway and I will just ask if they are dopesick. If they are I give them enough to “get well” because I have been there and know that feeling.
The honest open question about that is, are you actually doing any good at all at that point? It seems clear actually helping would be to find out the individual circumstances and spend the time and effort to actually provide the needed help to the individual, but does giving drug money to a drug user on the streets do any good and also what damage is that money actually potentially doing (supporting the entire drug dealing network, violence, etc) beyond keeping a drug user high and worthless. What if the drugs you helped them buy actually killed them? Is that helping? If you saw someone in an entirely different circumstance doing something self destructive would you also mindlessly offer them help destroying themselves? I'm really not trying to fight against someone else's alternative views here, but just trying to make sure people actually think about the potential negative consequences not just that any attempt at charity must be good because giving can never be bad or immoral. It seems the default position these days that the most minimal "altruistic" gesture is seen as so incredibly noble and what one must to do be the least bit noble and I think that deserves heavy critique and I don't think it's negative/deadly consequences deserve to be so easily and quickly pushed aside in the name of "helping". Helping ought to only count as help if it actually improves the situation for the better and not just for 2 seconds before the person dies. I think an honest conversation all the way around this is necessary and I'm willing to have it.
@@michaelrudolph7003 I totally get where you are coming from and agree with you to a degree. I neither have the expertise nor the resources to offer that kind of guidance I'm sad to say. I do however have an hour of my time for a cuppa and a chat and an odd £10 to give freely to anyone in need of them. And again it is given without judgement of how that money is spent.
@@michaelrudolph7003an old man asked me for money on the street a while back, I asked what he was going to spend it on, he said “alcohol, it’s all I have left, there’s a better chance than not I’ll die out here, alcohol”
I gave him the money. There’s programs but they don’t actually take time to help, and without an address or S.S. Card try getting a job. Once you’ve hit that bottom getting out is almost impossible.
@@michaelrudolph7003 if you gave money without cruel intentions, it doesnt matter what they use the money for, that is between them and their conscience, you gave with a good heart and have gone.
Phenomenal Artist. Never to be Duplicated. An Amazing Talented Writer!!!!
And he is still alive - I hope he knows how much we actually appreciate him.
So proud of you BP. You're a reference worth looking up to. People getting mad at you for not knowing something is just shameful - don't they see you _learning_?!? I mean, in this world, getting people to have an open-enough mind to put something new in there is a feat in and of itself. That's worth celebrating, appreciating, and reinforcing! So ignore the haters man. You're golden and those who bother to know you enough see that immediately.
Sending love to you and your beautiful family
My favorite Phill Collins song!
I`m a Truckdriver through Europe! You can see this pictures everywhere! It`s all over the world, I think!
There are plenty of homeless here in Uppsala Sweden.
Early mornings when I go to work I see them sleeping whenever they can around the station in town.
Even outside in snow and -20C this winter.
Of course there are mental problems and drugs playing a huge part in it here not just poverty here.
He was telling us to think twice as we pass by these unfortunate individuals on the street, …to remember for us, it’s paradise compared to these poor people who need, asking for help…and basically calling us out for just passing by without regard. Phil was also an amazing songwriter. Deep. Meaningful. One of the greats.
One more important missed..he along with all his abilities and capabilities is top 3 selling artist of all time
Basically saying we have it good. It can really be bad. We take it for granted
Compassion and empathy are some of the best qualities a person can have. Sadly many people only care for family and friends. Remember, it could be you on the streets. You never know what life will bring you. Be kind. One love BP! Cheers!
This is my favorite song by him
Phil Collins is a gift to the Universe !!!!
These musical artists were not ahead of their time. They were putting it out there that we had/have a serious problem on our planet.
We ‘now older folks’ were wanting change back then….
Sadly nothing’s changed.
♥♥ Phil Collins !! This is another excellent video !! Philip Bailey, Phil Collins - Easy Lover
You and I have a home, food and clothes. Compared to those who have nothing, we are living in paradise. First few times I saw this video I cried. But Phil also gave some proceeds from his concerts to homeless shelters. So he was/is doing his part.
I’ve always took it as it’s supposed to make you realize how good we have it. Jobs, money, roofs, walls, water and electricity.
I believe there is a difference between a hand out and a hand up, between empowering and enabling and the impact of that difference is huge
Phil is a top guy
It's clear to me he's addressing the state of the world. The human condition is universal in all it's aspects (good & bad). Thanks for the heartfelt reaction, bro. I appreciate the artists who keep these issues front and center along with all the other forms of expression that they delve into. Art, (any art) is the perfect platform for addressing all of these situations. You get it, Pegasus. I appreciate that, too.
1989 the song was released... It's always brought tears to my eyes but its more than that for me today.
I'm just going to hit the highlights on my story but I'm betting you'll get the picture...
I got a call from a friend a few years ago asking me to pick up her mom from the airport so off I go. You know the drill, seatbelt, engine on, radio set, and your off. I see I need gas and just as I'm pulling up to the intersection, I hear the part of this song where he says, "she's got blisters on the soles of her feet..." starts playing in my head, mind you, there is a different song on the radio.
I pull through the intersection, turn into the 7-11 for gas and have to go inside. There sitting on the concrete up against the building was a woman who was obviously homeless, I still got that song playing in my head, but I'm in a hurry, you know what I mean?
She walks up to the car while I'm pumping gas and asks for a ride and as much as I wanted to not pick up a homeless woman, that song got louder in my head, so I agreed. She gets in the car and right away I see that she has no shoes on only socks and as I look, I see that she has walked in those socks for so long that the heels and toes are worn through and the calluses on her heels are cracked.
Now, I like to say I don't have any money, but this is where the Lord reminded me, I dug through a full drawer of socks, 2 pair of boots, 5 pair of dress shoes and 3 pairs of sneakers for what I put on my feet before I left the house.
That song is playing in my head and I'm suddenly realizing this is no chance meeting...
As we drove down the hwy, she begins arguing with ... someone in her head... and I began praying... 30 miles I prayed for her release from the demons that were talking to her... I don't know what they wanted her to do, but I kept praying and she kept refusing...
Her name is Rose... she got out of my car that day with my shoes, socks, Bible, cash, hugging me and praising God.
I left a piece of my heart with a stranger that day, and I pray for her daily...
If you hear the Holy Spirit follow him in faith and he will work the Father's will through you...
Phil has so many wonderful songs. Some of my favourites are 'Against all odds', 'I wish it would rain down' (original music video is epic), 'You can't hurry love' (a very fun music video) and 'I can't dance ' by Genesis... honestly the list could go on and on. He is a fantastic musician and songwriter.
He was charming, handsome and talented guy!
In 1992 I traveled from Australia to San Francisco for two weeks , I could not believe the homeless people on the streets. I know it’s bad here too now but it’s good to bring this to light and live with a generous heart because you never know where you might be tomorrow. Yes it starts with ourselves.
One of my favorite all time songs I cry to this song
Same here, my friend.
This won a Grammy Award for Record of the Year. It also won the 1990 Brit Award for Best Single. >>
Collins told The Mail on Sunday: "I wrote this after being in Washington DC where I was amazed by how many people I saw living in boxes."
He also explained in a Musician interview: "I remember when we played Washington... Washington was almost at a standstill and these people were trying to sleep on the grills where all the hot air was coming up, and you could see that it was in the shadow of Capitol Hill. I thought it was an extraordinary contradiction. Collins met the problem of homelessness face-to-face in London while cutting this single. He remembers leaving the studio and seeing a homeless woman with two children who were begging for money. While the song shines a light on the issue, it also made him realize that, when confronted with it, he reacted the same as everyone else.
"What (the song) deals with is people's awkwardness with it. When it happened to me, I just walked straight past. I thought, I'm doing the same thing as everybody else... I felt awkward. I didn't ignore her but at the same time I didn't stop and give her some money... That's what the song deals with, people just sort of starting to pretend it's not happening. Collins was criticized by the English press for singing about the poor despite being wealthy ("This is one I got a lot of flak for because I'm a multimillionaire"). He responded in a New York Times interview: "When I drive down the street, I see the same things everyone else sees. It's a misconception that if you have a lot of money you're somehow out of touch with reality." 👍🏻🤩🏴
Wow... you're 40 years old and didn't know this song. Happy to see you react on this masterpiece.
This song was written in 1988 😢 Homelessness now is out of control all around the world!! Where people are entering countries illegally and 95% of them are men. Where are the women and children!!
I KNEWWWW THIS WOULD MOVE YOU, IT'LL MOVE ANYONE THAT HAS A HEART AND SOUL! 💯😊
Phil and genesis have great songs
Hits me hard every time😔🙏🏻💞
Yes, he did the same in Australia. Passed a bucket around each concert and asked for one dollar from everyone and then doubled it. Australia wide concerts. Special person.
On another note , keep diving into old music especially from 60/70s. 🇦🇺
I hadn’t listened to this one for a long long time ,, thank you for reminding me of the sad beauty of it.
The title says it all. Another Day In Paradise to me is be grateful for what you have because a lot of people have less or very little. I am going through some stuff myself presently and appreciate the little things. Another great job by you with this one. I also live in Colorado Springs and the homeless situation is growing everyday.
I was born on the base near Colorado. I don't remember so many homeless in Denver or Colorado Springs. I always help when I can. Ive even taken a leap of faith and brought several people home with me. Especially when I've seen children. And man have I been lectured. So far everything's worked out and I'm still here.
His performance of Against all odds live is also stunning.. this is so moving 😢.. he’s so humble
So glad I was able to see him live in my lifetime, incredible performance
I've never been in the situation of any other people in the clip but it still gets me to near tears it hits right in the feels.... one billion people in the world at that time didn't have shelter.....
I absolutely love your commentary because so often it includes heart and true love for your fellow humans. We can have fun, but we can remember to care. Thank you for what you do.
Phil is amazing! Thanks BP, I could tell this touched you!✌🏻🫶🏻
Another one I can cross off my list! 😊 I love Phil solo and everything he did with Genesis! Way too many great songs to list, but Land of confusion is one of my favs! The video is crazy!
Land of confusion is great
I live winters in a modestly poor town in Costa Rica. The rest of the year, I come home to Denver, CO. In the past 3-4 years, I feel like I'm in more of a third world country when I'm HERE, in the US. It has gotten absolutely insane.
My husband was friends with Phil Collins back in the day when he lived in shalford surrey uk, he uses to drink in the pub the queen Vic. His is wife asked my husband to go with her to pick up a new car which Phil brought for her birthday. This was at the height of his fame in-between concerts and usually played pool on a Sunday night.
I would LOVE to see you react to "You're No Son of Mine."
I really like the way he sings "paradise.. Just think about it".
How much we are taking for granted. Even the little things in life..
I need to listen this song more often.
Thank you for reminding me ❤
Just another day for you and me in paradise. We live in paradise compared to the homeless
I love Phil solo and with genesis
Life is paradise to some and a pair of dice to others.
When I hear this song, and he says think twice, that could be me. So my mission is to be kind and try to help as an individual to help another individual. Get involved. Phil gets it.
You should be proud of yourself. At first I wasn't wasn't really sure about your channel. But something kept drawing me back. And now I just love you and your channel.
Keep up the fantastic work and dont change.
Phil Collins is my generation who fought for civil rights homelessness and women’s rights. I don’t know if any generation will ever be that involved again. I lived through farmers getting their farms taking away from them because they were encouraged to borrow and then couldn’t pay their bills. You should watch the movie Country with Sam Shepard and Jessica Lange. But Homelessness has been a problem for many years. And my generation did a lot, a lot. Bob Geldorf and musicians did a couple of concerts for Africa. The situation was horrible there. They raised an enormous amount. Willie Nelson and a lot of country artists did concerts for the farmers who were loosing their farms. It was awful. Research it.
That movie, "Country" is a masterpiece. Wow, I need to watch it again. Jessica Lange, along with Sissy Spacek and Meryl Streep, are the holy-trinity of acting for me. Last night, I was surprised and happy to see Jessica Lange on the Academy Awards, presenting Best Actress. Unfortunately, botox ruined her face. So sad. If I were a director I would love to cast her in a movie but I wouldn't now. Like Meg Ryan, Jessica Lange's face is transformed beyond redemption. Sissy and Meryl still seem to look great, however.
@@davidhunternyc1 Jessica was such a beauty too. Always my favorite actress.
The 80s were a period of severe recession and economic troubles. I remember my father being laid off during that time and the boxes of government cheese. It was a tough time across the board.
This song reminds me of Bruce Hornsby's "The way it is" and also Tom MacDonald's "Castles" about looking around yourself and really SEEING the stories/struggles of the world around you. Maybe you can help...maybe you can't...but you have to see it before you can make that determination.
I grew up with genisis and Phil Collins he is a great singer and lyricist
I call my fellow humankind to "think twice" !😢❤
Thank you for this. This will always be a very important topic. I have so much trouble listening to this song since I work with homeless people. Because, they are real people, with pasts, without future if they are not helped....
Phil won a Grammy for this in 1990
My husband and I are not rich but we give to the food kitchen we give clothes and money. All the world needs is love and kindness. My heart breaks when I see and hear this song. These are our fellow humans. Be a giver god will bless you for your kind heart ! I love all of you.
I love this song and I used to use it for teaching English (and some ethics at the same time 😊). It's just one of those songs that never get old. ❤
Legend
Home by the Sea is my favourite track by Phil. But this is so full of soul ❤
"Against All Odds" and "Easy Lover" 2 more amazing tracks, the later is a duet with Phillip Bailey of Earth, Wind & Fire .
This is one of those songs that pushes Empathy development. The understanding of other's experience in life and perspective on the world you think you know. Not always comfortable to go through, but always worthwhile.
Beautiful and Heartbreaking. ❤
I haven't heard this song for about 30 years. Still as great today as it was then and still as powerful. Phil Collins was the soundtrack of my childhood and teenage years. Against all Odds (Take a look at me now) is a great song, Sssudio, Easy Lover with Phillip Bailey, You can't hurry love, Separate Lives with Marilyn Martin. The three main albums I grew up on were Face Value, No Jacket Required and ...But Seriously.
Maybe check out the Song Mama by Genisis. One of my Favorite.👍🏻
One of my favourite songs of all time still!!
This song gets me every time
Love this song! ❤ I remember my mom playing this record in our living room & me and my sis laying on the floor with the record insert & reading along with the lyrics and singing along. We'd always listen to this one a few times!
I remember waiting for my parents to get home from work, and putting in my mom's few tapes for noise. Mostly this single, and no jacket required
Lfg phil!! Legend
Best years of my life in the 80s - so lucky to have lived thru it. I was in Egypt backpacking- what a blast!
Phil is an awesome singer and storyteller...I just let my 10yr old grandson listen to him the other day, HOOKED! You know at what age to grab'em, next CCR! But hitting on the message-There is so much that can be done but (wait now) they have to want to be helped...My 40yr old nephew has been homeless (we live in TN) for two years now...We have seen him twice in that time...I have done everything but get on my knees and grab him and beg...We have told him get the proper help but he says no, I can't or won't do it, this allows me the freedom to use various drugs...
Your reactions make my day, I have 20+ years on you and get a kick out of each and every video. Thank you so much for making this old farts day a little better.
History repeats itself. We had the same problems back then as we do now. I was born 1972, Brooklyn NY. We a lot of homeless people, living in the streets, being told to move constantly, without enough shelters. We had people addicted to crack begging for money or selling their bodies, with inadequate treatment back then they would just be arrested and put in jail. Addiction wasn’t labeled as a disease, it was a crime. I didn’t give money to the homeless but I did buy an extra water and or something to eat and give it to people. We didn’t have Covid but we had the AIDS epidemic, people were dying and there was no treatment, no one cared enough to fund research to find a cure. The CDC warned of this virus in 1981 but the President Regan didn’t speak publicly or try to provide any federal funding until Sept of 1985, it’s estimated 47,000 Americans had died in those 4 years. Phil Collins did what he could (as did a lot of musicians and entertainment’s). During Live Aid Phil Collins is the only one who performed In both London and the US live.
home by the sea is their best song!!!
He saying compared to some people,we are living a life of paradise. We NEVER know someone else's story
This one makes me emotional😢😢😢😢
My favorite song of phill collins is , I remember
You'll love Collective Soul "The world I know"
THAT WAS A BILLION BACK WHEN THIS WAS DONE, DECADES AGO NOW! 😮☹
It's paradise for those of us who have a nice place to live, clothes, and enough food to eat. He's contrasting that to the poverty and misery that so many people live in. I remember a news story, may have been from around the time this song was released, a homeless veteran was found dead on a bench across the street from the White House where he'd been sleeping...
Yes the group Genesis was amazing - had their album before Phil went out on this own. Homelessness is a blight in America’s hx. I love you always Mr Black Pegasus. Love from Lisa an autoimmune and lyme warrior 🦠💚🕊️🇺🇸
Phil basically considers all what we consider sometimes not enough is really paradise compared to being totally homeless and helpless.
I don’t know why people getting on you. I’m just turned 60. I’m just glad to see your generation that’s getting into the music that I grew up listening to and I got handed to you guys man I like some of the rappers not bad but I’m not gonna be listening to it but I’ll check it out. It’s OK. Music makes a go around there so much Music that never heard before that. I need to keep an open mind too and just what makes us all brothers and we need to listen to everybody’s music and music and make the world a better place.
