about

First recording by Chris Cruz. Shortly after graduating from LB State with a degree in Finance, Chris hired Cerritos guitarist Marc Ford and recorded his first composition The Other Side in a studio behind Plaza Music in Buena Park. The song received critical acclaim and west coast commercial airplay. Marc would soon be signed to Columbia Records with his band Burning Tree later joining the Black Crowes.

lyrics

The OTHER SIDE

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF YESTERDAY
A LONELY HEART GETS ANSWERED FOR A DAY
IN SEARCH OF THAT ONE VOICE THAT AIN’T THE SAME

EXCUSE ME GIRL, WELL I WAS WRONG
I’M JUST ANOTHER PAINTING ON YOUR WALL
A MEMORY OF A SONG THAT I LEAVE BEHIND

YOU BETTER LISTEN GIRL
THE NIGHT WILL TAKE YOU AWAY(LISTEN, GIRL)
YOU BETTER LIVE FOR TODAY(LISTEN, GIRL)
HE’LL TAKE YOUR LOVE IN THE USUAL WAY
ON THE OTHER SIDE

ON THE OTHER SIDE
THE OTHER DAY, THE OTHER TIMES
THE OTHER WAY YOU KNOW
SOMETIMES YOU JUST CAN’T TURN AND WALK AWAY

BUT TIME WAS MADE FOR MOVIN’ ON
FOR GETTN’ BY, I’M GETTING ON MY WAY
I LEAVE BEHIND THIS SONG AND I SWEETLY SAY

YOU BETTER LISTEN GIRL
THE NIGHT WILL TAKE YOU AWAY(LISTEN, GIRL)
YOU BETTER LIVE FOR TODAY(LISTEN, GIRL)
HE’LL TAKE YOUR LOVE IN THE USUAL WAY
ON THE OTHER SIDE

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF YESTERDAY
I FEEL YOUR BODY JUST TAKE MY NIGHT AWAY
I CLOSE MY EYES AND FEEL IT ALL SLIP AWAY

BUT TIME WAS MADE FOR MOVING ON
FOR GETTIN’ BY, I’M GETTING ON MY WAY
I LEAVE BEHIND THIS SONG AND I SWEETLY SAY

YOU BETTER LISTEN GIRL
THE NIGHT WILL TAKE YOU AWAY(LISTEN, GIRL)
YOU BETTER LIVE FOR TODAY(LISTEN, GIRL)
HE’LL TAKE YOUR LOVE IN THE USUAL WAY
ON THE OTHER SIDE(THE OTHER SIDE)
