About the album
The first single, Another Day in Paradise, came out a month before the album. It was a hit on the charts, climbed quickly and stayed at number one for several months. The song speaks about homeless people, poverty and the indifference of society. Phil wrote it after seeing the situation in Washington, D. C. The song ended up being his biggest hit, and in 2009 it was placed on the list of the best songs of all time by Billboard.
Another important song is Colours, which addresses apartheid in South Africa. It is more rock-oriented than the rest of the album, with a touch of Genesis. Although it didn't have as much commercial success, because it lasted almost nine minutes, it remains one of the deepest songs on the album. The rest of the songs also deal with serious themes, such as loneliness, life, family, and the internal struggle of Collins. The album is not just music, it is an honest look at the world.
