about

Rachael Sage's folk-pop anthem "The Other Side" is as instantly hummable as it is lyrically poignant. With its memorable, gospel-tinged chorus and rapid-fire poeticism, Sage's timeless songwriting reminds us that what's most important – in relationships, dreams or our quest for freedom in whatever form – is always worth waiting for. With a killer horn section, soulful organ and spirited Elton-esque piano, this track is steeped in hope and just the right amount of best-is-yet-to-come optimism.

lyrics

In time I will make love mine
I will subvert shame and all indecision
You say you are impatient
Like a sick patient from doubt’s deep incision

I’ve been in the garden of evil and good
Hoping you would find me in the underwood my
Future was a fire – I could not breathe
Burning like a soldier’s grief
Meet me in the valley of eventually
I’ll be on the bank by the walnut tree I
Hope you will be with me on the other side of this
The other side of …

Of this is an angel’s kiss
Pure in intention and no expectation
I see your delicate beauty and I
Have no need to own or possess it

CHORUS

Of this will be such bliss
Of this will be G-d’s kiss
I will wait, I will wait

CHORUS

Hope you will be with me (the other side)
I hope you will be with me (the other side)

In time I will make love mine
I will subvert shame and all indecision
