Wikipedia article"'Both Sides of the Story'" is a song performed by English drummer Phil Collins. The song was released in October 1993 as the lead single from his fifth album, 'Both Sides', released the same year. The song reached number seven on the UK Singles Chart and number 25 on the US 'Billboard' Hot 100. It charted the highest in Canada, peaking at number two on the 'RPM' Top Singles chart. The single's B-sides vary, as copies of the single include either "Always" or "Rad Dudeski". Music videoThe 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. (This scene was inspired by the 1991 Lawrence Kasdan film 'Grand Canyon'.)Kot, Greg.
