Phil Collins Another Day In Paradise, , Jennifer Connelly Waking The Dead
, JenniferConnelly Another Day in Paradise is a song recorded by English drummer and singersongwriter Phil Collins. Produced by Collins along with Hugh Padgham, it was released as the first single from his numberone album Seriously (1989). As with his song for Genesis, Man on the Corner, the track has as its subject the problem of homelessness and paradise; as such, the song was a substantial departure from the dancepop music of his previous album, No Jacket Required (1985). Collins sings the song from a thirdperson perspective, as he observes a man crossing the street to ignore a homeless woman, and he implores listeners not to turn a blind eye to homelessness because, by drawing a religious allusion, it s just another day for you and me in paradise. Collins also appeals directly to God by singing: Oh Lord, is there nothing more anybody can do Oh Lord, there must be something you can The song was Collins seventh and
