This is a new feature I am starting on my site. Posting songs that are just amazing. The first is 'No Son Of Mine' by Genesis. 'No Son of Mine' is the first single by the British rock group Genesis from their 1991 album 'We Can't Dance', which reached #6 in the UK and #12 in the U.S. It made #8 on the Dutch Top 40.
The song's lyrics tell the story of a boy who runs away from his abusive home, and after some reconsideration attempts to return, only to be rebuked by his father. In interviews, Phil Collins has said that the lyrics are deliberately vague as to whether the narrator or his mother is the victim of the abuse.
The video for this song is particularly melancholic, illustrating the scene in sepia tone. The video essentially depicts what is discussed in the song, which is a conversation between a son and his father. During the last chorus snow flakes begin appearing flying wildly around the house, eventually at the end the scene pulls out to reveal the entire confrontation scenes take place in a snowglobe that the son is holding.
