Oh, think twice, 'cause it's another day for you and me in paradiseOh, think twice, 'cause it's another day for youYou and me in paradise“Another Day in Paradise” is a Grammy Award winning song performed by English singer and songwriter Phil Collins. The profound lyrics of this song mainly talk about the social problem of homelessness. In the song, the narrator (Collins) tells the story of a random man on the street who ignores the plights and suffering of a homeless woman despite the fact that she calls out to him for help. The man deliberately acts as though he can’t hear her and crosses the street to avoid the homeless woman and her plight. The lyrics then go on to beg everyone listening not to ignore the plights of the homeless. It tells us that for us, it’s just another day in paradise, but for them this isn’t the same. Collins then uses the lyrics to plead to the almighty God, telling Him that “there must be something” He can say. Speaking of the song in an interview with British newspaper The Mail on Sunday, Collins said he wrote the song after he visited Washington DC in the United States. According to him, while in Washington, he witnessed to his shock the number of people living in boxes on the streets. Collins’ face to face encounter with a homeless person In multiple interviews, Collins has said that he once found himself in the situation of the man who ignored the homeless woman in the song. Collins said ironically while cutting “Another Day in Paradise” in London, he came face to face with a homeless woman just after coming out of the studio. According to him, the woman had two children with her and begged him for some money. And how did Collins react? Interestingly, Collins admitted acting almost the same way as the man in the song. He said despite the fact that he eventually didn’t ignore the woman and her children, he neither stopped nor gave her any money. Collins’ reason of telling his story of his encounter with the homeless woman was just to let the world know that the average person reacts the same way like the man in the song when approached by a homeless person or a beggar.

A protest song released as the 7th track of 4th album But Seriously in October 1989. Interestingly, the song was the last #1 of the 1980’s and the first of the 1990’s. Collins explained this song was about despairing the homeless in multiple interviews: To 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.” 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.” However, Collins was criticized by the English news for writing a song about the poor despite being wealthy. 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.”
