#theotherside

I wrote this song after thinking about how easy it is to believe someone else's life is better than our own. We catch a glimpse of a happy family, a carefree couple, or someone living the life we wish we had, and our minds fill in the rest of the story. But what if someone is looking at our life the very same way?

The Other Side is about perspective, gratitude, and the quiet realization that we often imagine a lifetime from a single moment. Sometimes the place we're longing to reach is the very place someone else wishes they could be.

If this song resonated with you, I'd love to hear what "the other side" means in your life.

========== LYRIC: 📜

[Verse 1]

Saw a young family laughing Running barefoot through the grass Dad reached for his little girl She wrapped her arms around his neck

I stood there for a moment Watching life just drift on by Wondering what it must feel like

[Chorus]

I wanna go to the other side Where the sun shines every day Where I don't fear tomorrow Ooooooh…

Can this place be true? Or is it just a dream… Waiting on the other side

[Verse 2]

The waiter laid the bill down Signed the check, left a generous tip Went right back to laughing

I watched them leave together Like they had all the time Wondering if tomorrow Ever crossed his mind

[Chorus]

I wanna go to the other side Where the sun shines every day Where I don't fear tomorrow Ooooooh…

Can this place be true? Or is it just a dream… Waiting on the other side

[Verse 3]

Standing by my window Watching lights fade one by one Thinking about tomorrow And where the years have gone

Someone's living what I chase Never stopped to think Somebody wishing for my place

[Bridge]

I've spent my whole life looking higher Chasing what I didn't have We see a moment And imagine a lifetime

Maybe someone sees my life The way I imagine theirs Maybe I've been standing On the other side too

[Final Chorus]

I wanna go to the other side Where the sun shines every day Where I don't fear tomorrow Ooooooh…

Can this place be true? Or is it just a dream… I've carried all this time

[Outro]

“Dave and Trish Long are known for their enthusiastic, engaging, all-encompassing, intoxicating, insatiable, utterly awesome melodies. Weaving powerful lyricism in moving music…” …“While the single talks about a contemporary issue, it does so with a nostalgic melody. Using their distinctive sound, Sahara CyberStars bring gritty rock in Dave Long’s vocals while smooth jazz is heard in the tune – particularly the powerful saxophone…”
