Description
One of the best tracks on Falling Apart At The Seams is the penultimate "The Other Side," an introspective, harmonica and brass-infused ballad. Mitchell sings, reminding us more of a sultry blues singer than any persona he'd represented so far. It is possibly the only track where Mitchell dispenses wisdom with complete confidence, but it works just as well as the songs where he is lost and searching. Kara Gheldof, 2010, 360 Main Street Mag
Lyrics
One man gets rich, while the other stays poor/ He’s taken everything but he still wants more/ I’ll never cross to the other side of the road/ They say the root of all evil, is the love of cash/ I guess that makes me good because my love will never last/ Can’t seem to see the other side of the road/ How many walls do we have to climb/ Until we find there’s nothing on the other side? Endless success will test the rest/ But I’m not defined by what I possess/ Power and greed as far as the eye can see/ I’d rather be blind than live in hypocrisy/ That’s how the story goes, on the other side of the road/ How many walls do we have to climb/ Until we find there’s nothing on the other side? Endless success will test the rest/ But I’m not defined by what I possess/ That’s how the story goes on the other side of the road/ Sellin’ their souls on the other side of the road/ That’s how the story goes on the other, side of the road/
