I have forgiven, but I will never forget the pain my biological parents caused me. I still deal with it today at 46. But I will never forget the streets that raised me.
This was the 1980's for me in New Zealand. I will never raise a hand to my daughter because of what I went through.
I can’t hear this song without crying.
I am sorry
plus thousands of others
@@smrtn240 I don’t doubt it.

Any man that's lives through this shit and refuses to cast the same on their kids is my hero. Both my dad and step dad sucked bad. I am nothing like them.
DITTO 💜
Yeah, I did a LOT of soul searching and eventually discovered that it's for the best that my family line of abuse and misery end with me. My mother tried her best but ultimately she couldn't do it. She never learned how to be a parent because her parents never learned because their parents never learned because... going back countless generations.
Anyone who can actually break the chain is amazing. I stand in awe of them, because I know I'm not capable of it. The only child I'm trying to raise is the one inside me that spent so much time alone and scared 30 years ago.
We have the responsibility to be the parents we never had
That be me. Almost 70 And I can crank it to 11 !
My father did the very same things to me. Man, does this song really hit home.
DITTO ❤
This song is brutal.
IKR... I just wonder if this happened to Phil or one of the other band members....
This song hits home my dad was a piece of s____. But I got 3 boys now & they all know that I'm here for them. The good Lord has blessed me 🙏
Good for you. Be the father he never was.
My dad beat the shit outta me and my brother weekly as young children and I loved him til the day he died, serious shit
God bless you. Jesus Christ be praised.
@Willie Gordon Twisted logic. As if that's an excuse to abuse a child. You sound like an abuser as well.
@Willie Gordon I'm not sure that's any consolation. Not ever existing isn't so bad. Think about it. None of us existed for the first 13+ billion years of the universe.... Personally I don't remember thinking all that time, "this non existence really sucks, oh if only someone could bring me into life!"
Prediction : the vast majority of us listening to this can relate to it for very personal and very painful reasons
Yes 😢
@@luciezak3671 my sister ♥
Absolutely
Sadly..
My brother ❤
I know that feeling. My dad was verbally abusive to me. I remember when I was 14yrs old he told me that I got on his nerves the day I was born. I felt like my heart dropped and I was in a shock for a second because I couldn't believe he said that.
DITTO 💜
My father, my father’s family blames me for being born a bastard. I said I don’t recall getting a choice over two, uneducated ignorant alcoholics as parents. Real bastards don’t matter, when I can afford it, I will legally change my last name. It doesn’t do me any good anyways.
Ugh. This song kills me every time. I pray my children never feel like I did when my Dad died.
I refuse to get married or have kids
Im not even a son but that song gets me tearring everytime😢
You're no son, you're no son of mine, you walk out you not say bye-bye
I was abused as a child but now that I am an adult, I have learned to let it go. I have found peace and happiness within myself and living a wonderful life.
That's really wonderful that you found peace and happiness within yourself. I still have a long way to go. I'm still here so there's still hope even though I don't feel it. I'm sorry that you suffered at all.
@rechardjosh Yes, we can.
Hugs.
Impossible to let it go
@@deborahalfonso270Stay strong
Phil is a musical genius
No disputing that.
Yes he is!!
Totally agree and he always sang this tune live in concert with so much heart but Mike Rutherford is the one who wrote it and have to give him a lot of credit as well
Yeah I swear the planets aligned in a way where Phil was able to achieve some kind of musical enlightenment in the 80's, he could not write a bad song... It was just hit after hit after hit between Genesis and his solo albums.
Agreed!!!!
Lived this. Tears even at 64.
Me too. Tears at 43. Hugs to you.

When I was a child I identified with this song, sometimes my father drank and became violent, he mistreated my mother, and me, I don't know if he regretted it over time, he was very closed, he already died, the good thing is that those wounds healed, I have a daughter and I treat her with love, those wounds did not mark me, I am different from him, forgive him.
Because that's what you are supposed to do learn,and not repeat,bless you hope you have a wonderful life.Just let it go
I love you😢
I used to cry while listening to this song because it was so relatable
Holy Sh*T, I had forgotten that Genesis and Phil Collins put this song out there. A very powerful song.
What a powerful story.I was lucky enough not to have gone thru this.I can’t imagine the pain.
Very powerful song.
A lot of us that come from an abusive or broken childhood have used this song to remind us of how it was and not continue the pattern of hurt.
Damn right! Im giving my children the childhood I wish I had. I also tell my kids bits about my childhood so that when they are grown up they know not to abuse their own kids.
@@Jedda73 if that's true I salute you. Breaking the cycle of narcissistic abuse can only be done on a conscious level by those who wholly reject it.
This is very true it hits in the heart💔 a differentiated 😢 let’s the Ache and hurt come out my stepfather robbed my innocents And I was thinking and this happened from age 4 up to the age of 12 I ended up running away with my rapist which is quite sad I just needed to get out of that abusive home not knowing I was with another predator I love my mom but she always put my stepfather first wow I’ve never ever told anyone my story I still got a little girl inside of me and I promised that little girl that I would grow up and never be like my parents wear
And I kept a promise to this day I still play with my kids because I still have that little girl inside of me and my kids love me so much and I love them so much they are my world Brian Roak I hope you have an amazing amazing day and thank you for allowing me to respond to your message and anyone else reading this I hope you have an amazing beautiful day and not let the bad in the hurt reach you any longer sometimes the bad makes us stronger and better people much love to you all💔❤️❤️💖💕
I don't see it as that. I see it a source of strength of all the things not to be. I might have come from that kind of house hold, but I don't cry about it. It made me into a lion, ready for this real world. If you can't handle household drama, how will you survive the real world?
I grew up with physical abuse, but it was my mom.crazy but true , one beautiful summer night.i watched in horror, as she laid a beatdown on my dad in the street.she had some long tool, not sure, sent him to the hospital.all the neighbors sat outside and watched.i thought she seriously hurt him, the noiises he was making.1970s no.l One did anything.i lost it on her, i was like 12.she was in a rage.she came at me. I hurdled the neighbors fence ran away! Came home 3- 4 hours later giving me the death stare.she never apologized.i never trusted her again.sad but true.but i gave her a run for her money.still hate her for that
LYRICS: (didn't see them posted):
Well the key to my survival
Was never in much doubt
The question was how I could keep sane?
Trying to find a way out
Things were never easy for me
Peace of mind was hard to find
And I needed a place where I could hide
Somewhere I could call mine
I didn't think much about it
Till it started happening all the time
Soon I was living with the fear everyday
Of what might happen that night?
I couldn't stand to hear the crying of my mother
And I remember when I swore that
That would be the last they'd see of me
And I never went home again
They say that time is a healer
And now my wounds are not the same
I rang a bell with my heart in my mouth
I had to hear what he'd say
He sat me down to talk to me
He looked me straight in the eyes
He said, "You're no son, you're no son of mine
You're no son, you're no son of mine
You walked out, you left us behind
And you're no son, you're no son of mine"
Oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it
And as the time it went by, I lived to regret it
You're no son, you're no son of mine
But where should I go? And what should I do?
You're no son, you're no son of mine
But I came here for help, oh I came here for you
Well the years they passed so slowly
I thought about him everyday
What would I do if we passed on the street
Would I keep running away?
In and out of hiding places
Soon I'd have to face the facts
We'd have to sit down and talk it over
And that would mean going back
They say that time is a healer
And now my wounds are not the same
But I rang that bell with my heart in my mouth
I had to hear what he'd say
He sat me down to talk to me
He looked me straight in the eyes
He said, "You're no son, you're no son of mine
You're no son, you're no son of mine
You walked out, you left us behind
And you're no son, you're no son of mine"
Oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it
And as the time it went by, I lived to regret it
You're no son, you're no son of mine
But where should I go? And what should I do?
You're no son, you're no son of mine
But I came here for help, oh I was looking for you
You're no son, you're no son of mine, oh
You're no son, ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah
You're no son, you're no son of mine, oh, oh
Songwriters: Anthony Banks / Phil Collins / Michael Rutherford
One of the greatest groups EVER!!!!!!!! A haunting and great song!!!!!!!!!!!
❣️❣️❣️🎼🎶🎶🎶❣️❣️❣️
Exactly! Just love Phil Collins!❤️
i agree with that. No one in the last 40 years has surprised me more than Phil Collins. I always thought he was the one ruining music, when the reality is he is a Musical and Lyrical genius. Highest level on a par with Dylan,McCartney,John,Costello, Townshend, Springsteen, Van Morrison, and very few others.
The words should be dad you left us behind your no dad of mine
This is a great great song with no expiration date
"...with no expiration date". Well said mate.
God bless anyone to those who were abused by their parents when they were children.
God bless you 2..
Thank you very much for saying that.
God doesn't bless them. The state does that.
I never had any child issues but this song haunted me. It was the lyrics and harmony. Phil's voice. Damn it's doing it right now.
I think that Phil Collins is an amazingly talented artist 🙂❤️. This song got to me too. My dad left me, my brother & mom & for years he wanted nothing to do with me or my brother. Then, when I turned 16 my dad wanted to attend my sweet 16, I said no. Fast forward to 2011 my dad was very sick and at 58 yrs. old he passed away alone in a hospital. It's so sad when someone passed alone, my dad did it to himself all those yrs ago. If he didn't disown my brother and me he wouldn't have missed out on grandchildren and dancing with me at my sweet 16 and other special moments in our lives, it was his loss.
My dad and I never got along and this song reminds me of that..we either never spoke or argued and he would beat me all the time, I hated it...never forget it, when he died of cancer15 years ago I was there at his bedside..
He never got to meet his beautiful grandson
Instead of it being Your no Son of Mine, it should've been Your no Dad of Mine.
You were no parents to mine.
This song is relevant for when the bullies are your parents. It is a very powerful song. I cried so hard I couldn't watch the video.
kinda like guardians and trustees sometimes they have to be wiped out when they do that or think that they are in charge ✋😁
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
True
I can relate to this even though I'm a daughter. 😢
Genesis forever... No son of mine rules
This is so emotional and powerful. Phil Collins is the best!
This song has more meaning to me now then it did 30 years ago.
No Child Should Be Abused!!
Nor any innocent life, be it child or animal.
Thomas R. Skidmore I agree ! There’s no excuses for it .
CPS should do their job, and take the kid away from the abuser permanently.
Here here
@@cvasquez3376 CPS has to follow state and federal laws. It's not that easy to permanently terminate parental rights. I know. I was a social worker for years, but I finally left. The system is broken in many ways. Not all.
This song hits me right where it counts. My dad gave up on me and my brothers. I tried to be the bigger person. But, What did it for me was years after trying and writing him a letter and the new wife was the one who wrote back I was done. I am 51 now that was back when I was 15. I did not go to see him when he was dead and still do not regret it. But, He showed me what not to be like for my kids.
Great aknowledgement
You know what, a year ago you left a comment. Today a stranger is grateful for your existence! I think I'm going to go see my Dad. Literally right now. He's 65. I'm 41. No man on Earth loves me as much as he does. The man would literally die a thousand deaths to avenge my honor. I am so foolish to not see him all the time.
I'm Agnostic, so there's not going to be any God stuff from me. 😇 But we Agnostics can get away with musing about concepts like fate once in a while. If it's a thing, I think this may be a shining example of it.
I am so happy to hear you were able to channel your emotions into building a happy life with your children, and that you prioritized parenting and love them immensely. (I have a suspicion they're very much aware.) ❤
Thanks for sharing a bit of yourself with this stranger on the internet. ⚘🌷🌻
*Seriously, I got to this channel because I was tapping on it absent-mindedly while talking to a neighbor on my porch. This video was just there when I returned to RUclips.
Take care 🙂💕
@@MeganVictoriaKearns Thank you and it is very much appreciated. I wish you and your father the best.
I hear you man. My pops didn't want me either
My son and I are going thre we
I can never watch this without getting a little emotional.
Thanks Phil Collins for this! Even though you revealed on story tellers you didn't personally experience this you empathized and projected these emotions clearly.
Henry Robinson How would you know he didnt experience that abuse when he was a boy?
I love Phil Collins songs with Genesis and as a solo artist of all his albums.
@@gaylenewood7707 Did you even read his comment. He said phill revealed on story tellers that he didn't experience this. I hate people like you that don't even read the whole comment or are too stupid to interpret it correctly.
Gaylene Wood Phil Collins said he didn’t when discussing the song.
Jay Scrappa ....wow dude. “Hate people like you??” The original post is dubious and a little obtuse. If you’ve never heard of “Story Tellers” (no caps in the original post, either, hence MY slight confusion) then the question is one that’s valid. This song may be triggering for some people, which could attribute to this person asking a question. So......
Hate?? Really?? Maybe you need to listen to more Phil.....”Still it would seem that we’ve still got a long long way to go.”
One of their best songs
Tristan Schenkey undeniably.
I still remember when this was brand new!
yes
So do I, sorry to say. Gettin' up there in years. This song broke my heart the very first time I heard it. This time, the lyrics are pretty obvious. All these years later, it still breaks my heart. This was back when MTV was still decent and still axtually played music videos. They shouldn't call themselves MTV anymore because they don't play music videos anymore! Just a load of rubbish!
@@ecclestonsangel If people want to see music videos, they can just use RUclips. There's no need for music videos on television anymore.
These words are so deep. I couldn’t ever imagine saying those words to my kids.
You and me both
Yeah I could never say that to my kids. I took care of my mom when she had dementia after my dad took his life and even knowing she didn't know who I was because of the disease it still breaks my heart hearing her in my head scream at me Your not my son I hate you all sorts of things thar shit really fucked me up honestly
@@jeremyrobbins1207 damn man I am sorry for all you have been through. No one ever said life was easy but it sounds like you got a Raw deal in life. Just keep telling yourself she really had no clue who you were. My Condolences on your losses
Especially when you’re the problem
@@jeremyrobbins1207 I’m so sorry you went through that. I think that’s the very worst part of dementia. It’s also tragically very common.
After I heard this song, I rushed out and bought this CD. Back when you bought a CD and every song was amazing ...
When I realize
Best music
Willing to have all in my phone
Sometimes I waked up and am listening like 1 am
Cds.....
I bought the Cassette when it came out, lol. Shows you how old I am. I have the CD still. Now, I have this album on ITunes.
❤️ I feel this song as I remember the day my father told me I was not his daughter when I asked him why he drank .
Jesus, I'm sorry you experienced that from your own father. I would litterally kill myself before I would ever say or think anything like that towards my kids.
@@damienheaton7571 Maybe he drank because he found out she was not his daughter? True question, not being sarcastic. Maybe the wife cheated on him. That would drive any man to drink or not care about themselves after a blindside like that.
@@eleven8948 good point
Blessings. Terrible to be told that.
oh man, sorry you experienced that. my dad was a scary drunk, n everyday i lived in fear. i"ve never hit a woman or a kid. but i have struggled with rage n depression all my life. n have got in quit a bit of trouble always in fights. im in courses n therapy n trying to get help n get better
This song is my theme song. This is for my dad who just passed away recently. I'll never know what to say to him.
"If you expect narcissists to have compassion, tell the truth, or share the spotlight, you may be repeatedly disappointed. People with narcissism view others as sources of gratification, not as equals. They use words as tools or weapons more than as truth. They have a bottomless hunger for attention. All these come from a shaky sense of self. Knowing this can free you from false expectations and allow you to set boundaries accordingly."
- Dan Neuharth
Learned that the hard way. As a kid though I thought it was my fault.
That sounds like My estranged brother & his wife both of them are narcissist . I don’t trust them nor do I have any contact with them I let them Waller in there web of garbage & lies . Both are liars. I don’t believe a word they say.
Well said
Took me awhile to get this, my mother was one. My ex was one, tried to turn my kids against me after abusing me...he even used my parents against me... I'm stronger for it
So true, thank you for this
I remember this song when I was 15-16. It really hits home a lot. Phil Collins' emotional lyrics touched a lot of things that I can relate to my dad. Its not an easy thing to talk about it now.
Happened to me at age 17 in 1989. Middle of freezing cold winter. I'm a daughter. Mom still won't let me be home. Thank you for posting.
Elu UniStargazincorn No offense but your mom sounds like one of those who sits and waits till her child is doing well in life and then comes in and takes credit for it right??
Eluwenie Stargazer I'm sorry to hear that! No matter what happened, no matter what you did or didn't do, you are worthy of love! I love you!
You're better off without either of them, even if you can't see it right now.
When as a young man you swallow so many razor blades that the wounds never heal
It was a relief when my father died, knowing he never abuse a child again.
fuckin wow!!
godspeed, mate
Godspeed
Straight I know that
GOD'S GOT YOU, BELIEVE HE WILL GO STRAIGHT HELL! BELIEVE! WE WILL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE😢🙏😢
My older brother left young and got himself a life - and I've always been happy for him - but he left me behind - and our parents , punished me for his departure ; I suffered 10 times what he did for 10 times more times - I've tried to make a relationship with him , and he sits in judgment of me , saying that , "I really need to work on my social skills" - WELL YOU KNOW WHAT , JOE ? WHATEVER I AM , THEY MADE ME !
AND YOU ? YOU NEVER GAVE A DAMN ABOUT ME ! ALL YOU EVER CARED ABOUT IS YOU ! ! ! !
Wow.. Such a deep song .. Got chills
The most devastating thing u could ever hear as a son.
unfortunatly thats what i felt with my only parent.. My mom said to me she prefered my brother. i resemble my dad a lot, and she hated my dad. whats ironic is that my dad loves genesis and i listened to this song when my dad was still alive. its such a weird storry to tell. i hope he was still alive somtimes, and i wish my mom loved me as much as my dad did.
Im sorry she should jave never said that to you!! I resemble my dad too. My mom was abused by my dad so she hated my dad and not very fond of me either and severely disciplined me to the point of abuse bc my dad knew I took after him in like and personality. We never have talked about it bc that just raises back up all the memories u want to forget. I'm sorry that was very unfair of your mother to do that to you. How she didnt realize what that does to someone??
💙
I'm sorry ..
I love you dad. I forgive you in Jesus name amen
He is Smiling At You right now :-}
Congratulations, that's a hard journey. I, too, have forgiven my dad. It took me years to get there. He still lives but wants nothing to do with me. At least when he passes, I won't wonder what could have been. I pray Jesus brings you peace.
He will🙏🙏🙏

Some 20+ years ago an edict from my father was directed to all family members...I was to be blacklisted by all... zero communication.
Then, one day, via a friend of family I learned my Dad was not well & hospitalized. I walked miles to see him... when I arrived and found him in the ICU , he looked very small and frail. When he awakened and saw me... he half sat, put on his glasses and said... If you think for one moment, that coming here to my bedside at this time anything is going to change you could not be further from the truth...
" I do not know you, you are dead to me, you are no son of mine." At that he returned to a supine position and turned his back to me.
About half year later, I was located by another sibling, the family had been scrambling to find me... they located me in a homeless shelter. Big emergency, Dad was critical and fading fast... I was rushed to his bedside... only he and Mom in the room... lots of tears.. he gestured me over.. whispered I am so sorry SON, please forgive me... I held him and forgave him... It was very cathartic to forgive. He died within 24 hours of that moment. My Father was a seminary taught pastor, in the CRC faith.
When I hear this song my heart still weeps.
I can't relate to the story, but this is a powerful song, and Phil Collins is in top form. The music is awesome, especially the instrumental effects, including the opening metronome, and the groaning guitar. You can feel the emotion in Phil's voice.
Remember to give yourself what others can’t...even if it’s supposed to be your parents.
So many people relate to this song. Me included. In fact, my dad said “I disown you” so many times it lost all strength. But I stopped jumping through hoops to make my dad “happy” and started to love myself for my abilities and quirks. But this was after dropping out of high school, running away countless times, etc. I did eventually go to college, got a degree in finance and have a decent life with the woman I love. It did make me not want kids because I didn’t want to ruin them (it may have turned out different), but that’s just me.
My mom disowed
Such an iconic track, and album. Extremely underrated, and filled with emotion. Every track has a story to tell, and that's what makes this album so great. One of my favorite all-time Genesis songs, and one that brings many memories. They'll never be anything like Genesis, or Phil Collins, Truly one of a kind. Been going years listening to this, and it never gets old. Legendary. "No Son Of Mine" A track that is truly iconic, and a great start to the album, and one of Genesis' most legendary hits.
Absolutely haunting....the video couldn't possibly match the song more perfectly. The destruction of the snow globe at the end is genius.
The part where the taxidermy animals start coming alive in the room, especially the mounted fox or coyote head that started looking around always was the creepy part, but the best part for me.
One of my oldest memories is being 5 years old listening to this on cassette in my mom's shitty caprice classic, while waiting for her to come out of the store... Still love genesis
It was a supreme honour to have seen this legend play this at the final Toronto show.
This song is absolutely amazing I can't find any artist like Phil Collins ❤❤❤❤
One of their best songs. The emotions were really spot on. I am glad that Phil Collins never experienced this in real life though but feel for others who have. My parents both loved me unconditionally and were really good to me.
NO only got battered by his bird
Phil Collins suffered from the lack of attention from his father though, as I've read in his biography, a book that is really interesting and funny some times. That guy is as talented as it comes and he's such a good person...
@@stependragon His biography is grim if you ask me. Another flawed individual who made stupid decisions.
.....It's a Mike Rutherford written song & yes, it is autobiographical. At least he had a father who would talk about it. I, on the other hand, ran away from home for 6 years. Little did I know, It hurt my mother far more.
It's great when people acknowledge and appreciate that they have had it good, but also have compassion for those who haven't.
At 2:54, Pete Townshend makes an appearance as a street Sweeper. This is rather unknown fact of this video.
In 1991 Pete Townshend was battling sobriety(addiction) and went to Phil Collins for support. As they were spending much time together, Phil placed him in the video. While Townshend is not credited in the No Son video, his cameo is loved by Genesis and Who fans alike
This song breaks my heart. Whoever was in this position, please know that your Heavenly Father loves you & sent His Son to die for you.
i am sure - You are a wonderfull person....God Bless You :-}
My Dad abandoned me. I had serious trust issues in establishing my faith in God. In my teens I felt like I was always waiting for him to abandon me too. Thankfully, I did have loving godly grandparents that never gave up on me and in my 20s I learned He never forsakes us. It's one thing to read the verses, another to truly believe it. I truly would not still be here without His miracles. God bless.
Shame the heavenly father wouldn't intervene and stop this from happening. Not much of a heavenly father really. In fact, he's no better than the douchebag who inflicts this on his child. By not stepping in, you're just as guilty.
Which is why I do not believe there is such a thing as a 'heavely father'.
@@stoojinator i'm sorry You're sad. feel better sson
Have you ever REALLY thought about what you wrote ?
First CD I ever owned. I got it for we can't dance, but this was the best track on the album. My dad could be a real asshole, and he definitely said, well yelled, those words to me a bunch of times. This song was so special to me, I only listened to it on headphones. I was afraid he would take the CD away if he heard it.
Same. And Same.
youre not alone keep going
This song (like so many Genesis songs) is very personal & relatable.
🙌 to my FAVORITE band, my musical holy trinity and life story writers. Also, 🥂 to my favorite drummer, singer, songwriter, producer, composer, heartbreaker, smile maker, Phil. #getphilvotedin
❤
This was my retreat. And still those words were weapons!
When I hear my husband take of his belt, that sound still makes me shudder. It’s been over 30 years since I felt that belt and belt buckle but I remember the pain and feeling like no one really loved me every time I hear that belt come off. It’s weird ecause my dad wasn’t nearly as abusive as my mother. She abused us psychologicallyd left the physical abuse to dad. The psychological stuff is even harder to deal with.
"I didn't think much about it, until it started happening all the time, soon I was living with the fear every day, of what might happen that night..."
pretty much describes my childhood
Me too, and that line stuck with me since I was little.
I know :( and not having anyone to turn to is so scary.
😢😢
Same 😔
@@carleyhaley4451 Very scary.
2019 ,, the truth is still there,,
Any child whoever came from a broken home will relate to this song.
David Black Well said. Yup it was massively abusive in my home. Lost my dad. Daughter, mom and sister left. All over America. Not together. :(
David Black Oh so true..
Eluwenie Stargazer God Bless
I grew up in the midst of a messy split between my mom and dad. Sadly, I never reconciled with my dad even after I found about his death in 2013 (he died in 2009, unbeknownst to me) so this really touched my soul quite deeply.
I came from a "broken home," and the 'break' actually made all of our lives better. A broken home's not always a bad thing.
I've listened to this song since I was a child, and feared hearing this from my parents. And even I still did. But it taught me how to raise my sons differently
I can still remember when this song was brand new!
I was very very young when this was playing on AC radio, but I definitely remember. That opening music scared me
Yep, I remember cranking it on the radio when it was new and it came on.
HA, old!
Me too. It was and still is too painful to listen to sometimes.
I still tear up to this song to this day. Boy how I can relate to this masterpiece of a song.
Love this song it's very powerful it describes a lot of broken pieces and things that people go through I'll always love this song ❤️💙💙
Amen !!!
Amazing Grace 🌼👣💦🌎
Be good and good will come to you we are still here 😇
I love Phil Collins I love Genesis I love this song six days before my birth on October 26, 1991 when this song came out and the album came out.
I feel so fortunate to have had a wonderful Father and mother they truly loved and cared for me my Father was my hero and even throw he is gone he is still my hero he was a great man, I really can’t relate to this song but it does make me very aware of how heartbreaking this can be for a child if you suffered this as a child I am so sorry you have my sympathy and compassion
Well this one cuts close to the bone, I remember when I was 15 my so called father screaming this exact line at me. He had abandoned me when I was 2. My mother kicked me out of her house when I was 14, and he was forced to take me in for all of 3 months after Id been living on the streets, and ended up getting arrested and locked up. He was never around, I havent seen him in over 10 years and could give a shit if I never heard from him again. I will not shed a single tear for either of my scumbag parents when they die. And they have two gorgeous grandchildren they will never meet.
Me too :(
Keeping you in my prayers
If you're truly happy, then you won.
I had a worthless father & a mother who was overwhelmed.
I used to say the same thing. Time's a funny thing. My dad's gone now. When times up, all the money in the world won't buy you a second. They slow down, they get old, trade the alcoholism for being addicted to Judge Judy. He got the pancreatic cancer diagnosis in Sept and was gone by May. I can't tell you what you should do, of course, just make sure you aren't stuck living with regret. Good luck to you.
Good on you for your success in spite of the crappy start you had. Your accomplishments are that much more merited.
We are coming home to the kingdom.
Soon we'll see the truth.
Yeshua is on his way.
This brings tears to my eyes!! EVERY SINGLE TIME! #feelthisinmysoul
One of the best designed pre-chorus/chorus in the history of pop music
Amazing, haunting song that beautifully encompasses all the emotions for most anyone who has experienced its subject matter. The video is perfect right down to the sepia tone. This song is as good as anything Genesis ever did. In any era of the band. They hit a home run here.
It touched my very soul!
I'm literally crying right now 😭
What a masterpiece!❤🙏
My dad was not like this. But his dad was. If you're someone whose dad was a bastard or absent and you're worried that will make you a bad parent, I can promise you it won't. My dad had worse than nothing for a father, and he's the best man I've ever known.
Phil this is a powerful strong song.I have 2 grown son's that mean everything to me. Can't imagine someone could feel this way. I cried when I first heard this. Thank you
Grande Sucesso no lançamento no final de 1991, saudades daquele tempo , da melhor Banda Pop Progressiva do Mundo .
I would love to have Genesis play in my living room
The title of a real man is earned when you break the cycle of violence and disfunction that you experienced. It takes great strength and conviction but you can do it. God bless
This song has made me cry for years.
Wow, this is a very dark tune.
Thomas R. Skidmore This song was about him when he was a young kid dealing with his family.
Thomas R. Skidmore But this song would match that little boy who got beaten by his mother on livestream about 5 weeks ago..
@@gaylenewood7707 false: Phil has said multiple times in the past this song is not about himself whatsoever.
It's an eye opener! For all of us didn't know from one day to the next what behavior was in our home!
Phil and Genesis did many of em in the 80's. LOL :)
My dad's words always cut straight to the heart, we don't have a bond nor a relationship, him and my mom split when I was 9, I've always had abandonment issues because of him.(and insecurity) I always wanted a loving Father, he looks at me with nothing but disappointment. The guidance and love you give your children are soooo important. It makes me upset not to have a father, but GOD took me under his wing and I'm grateful.😇😇✨This song is deep🌊🪞
I understand totally, in my case, it's my mom. All the Best!
Always loved hearing this live in concert and Phil putting his spin on this tune by adding extra lyrics like he did in most songs he sang live. Will miss Phil and Genesis but was lucky to see them from 1976-2007, 75 times.👍
WOW!! respect to you
@@raybuckner8189 Thanks dude,great memories and saw them from when I was 14,ATrick Of the Tail tour..
I always felt this song was meant for us 80s latchkey kids. With this song as a helpful voice to articulate how we felt growing up in a broken home, many of us found a way to get through many tough times. Thank you Phil and Genesis.
NO KING OF MINE.
There is so much emotional pain and trauma in this song. This Is No way to treat any child born in your family
Where is the Love ang Loyalty?😢
I have great parents and I’m glad I have shelter, I’m glad for who I am. One of my favorites on ‘We Can’t Dance’
didn't know my dad ..my savior a girl who I married and she stayed with me for 54 years
What REAL dad would say that? I should know as im a father and love my kids and grand kids VERY much!!
Here, by both parents, this song hits really hard. I can `t allow to force any abuse by anyone or by any cooperation. I fight for my rights.
