about

Other Side Of The Street is about the bittersweet nature of love – how it’s always there and won’t leave you even when you might want it to. As author Louis de Bernières put it: “love is what is left over when being in love has burned away”.

It's a cover of a song by an old friend of mine Tom Hackwood who wrote it as an introspective indie ballad but I thought the melody would also make a great uptempo country-pop song. I've also always loved happy, jaunty arrangements and melodies wrapped around sad stories of heartbreak (it certainly worked for Dolly and Abba 😊

lyrics

Other Side Of The Street

Right from the start he was
Into my heart
Leaving a mark on me
I thought I was hard
Unemotionally scarred
In control of my destiny

He had heavenly eyes
And they took me by surprise
I instantly fell under his spell
He took me to heaven
And left me in hell

He's on the other side of the street
Walking away now
Kicking the dust up under his feet
Walking away now
Love is a loyal friend
That just won't leave you till the end
Although you try to struggle free

There was a time when I didn't mind
Wasting my life away
It was alright, I was never uptight
Happy to be that way

He opened up my eyes
And I really came alive
Now I can see it's killing me
There's nothing where he used to be

He's on the other side of the street
Walking away now
Kicking the dust up under his feet
Walking away now
Love is a loyal friend
That just won't leave you till the end
Although you try to struggle free
