Story Behind The Song
Recorded in the mid nighties on a Tascam 70 series 1/2 inch 8 track reel to reel. I mixed to an original Tascam Portastudio cassette deck. I recently dubbed to Pro Tools and added a little sweetening. It is a great snapshot of where I was in the 90's. All of the guitar parts were tracked using a Zoom 4040.
Song Description
A song about striving to overcome whatever it might be that is blocking you from becoming your true self. Mostly about conquering fear.

Lyrics
On the Other Side
I wanna live my life like the water
I wanna live my life
'Gonna set my time and never falter
I'm gonna set my time.
I'm gonna lose myself, find the dreamer
Then see what I might see
I wanna scare myself with the danger
Of not knowing what might be
On the other side the day becomes the night
You have nowhere to run and nowhere left to hide
Only the brightest, only the best
Will brave the shadows to take the test
On the other side
On the other side
I wanna free myself, find the dancer
I wanna free myself
I wanna be myself, take the chances
I wanna free myself
Only the brightest, only the best
Will brave the shadows to take the test
On the other side
On the other side
