What’s the story for THE OTHER SIDE ?
“The Other Side” is about my Dad passing way 2.5 years ago . He was my biggest mentor and best man I ever knew . I wanted to honor his memory and I started writing it 2 day’s after he passed away . A month later he came to me in a dream and that was the impetus to finish the song !! Hence the lyric : “I wanna find you in the night again, I wanna see you in my dreams “
