Both Sides of Story

- Both sides of Story

"Both Sides of the Story" is a song performed by Phil Collins and released in 1993 as the lead single from the album Both Sides.

The song reached #7 on the UK Singles Chart, but was Collins' first lead single since "Thru These Walls" to not hit the top ten in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, reaching #25 spot.

The video, mainly shot in New York, follows the lyrics of the song. The first section cuts between Collins singing and images of a gutter and homeless people. The second section shows Collins inside a house, sitting on the stairs. He watches a married couple arguing, while their children watch. After the chorus, a military unit is shown patrolling a town while children spray-paint the walls. The final section portrays the story of a confrontation with a ghetto kid threatening another man with a gun. The video ends with shots of New York and the people, cutting like the first section, again with Collins singing the closing lyrics.
