"Both Sides of the Story" is a song performed by English singer-songwriter, drummer, actor and lead singer of English rock band Genesis, Phil Collins. The song was released in October 1993 by Virgin Records as the lead single from his fifth album, Both Sides (1993). The song reached number seven on the UK Singles Chart, and numbers 25 and 20 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and Cash Box Top 100. It charted the highest in Canada, peaking at number two on the RPM 100 Hit Tracks chart. The single's B-sides vary, as copies of the single include either "Always" or "Rad Dudeski".

Music video

The accompanying music video for "Both Sides of the Story", 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.)[1] The video ends with shots of New York and the people, cutting like the first section, again with Collins singing the closing lyrics.
