about

I wrote the song in 1994 when I fell in love with a French guy called Stéphane. Sadly, he had to leave before we really had the chance to get together. I had always intended a 2nd voice in the chorus and asked Nathan Peter Illes whether he wanted to sing them. I had always loved his songs and was really happy when he agreed to do them. While working on the song with Nathan I had the idea this could be a duet.

While working on the arrangement, I went for the usual chamber folk elements like a cello but also wanted to add a different element. I'd always loved the sound of the harmonica since it has this kind of nostalgic feel to it. I asked my indie colleague Orange G whether he might want to play it and luckily, he also agreed to do it.

lyrics

By Your Side

A candle in the night
Is lightening up the room
There's a storm outside
Clouds are covering the moon
It's also raining in my mind
The wind is howling, leaves me blind
How can life be so unkind?

We could have been in love
The flowers were in bloom
We really could have hit it off
But I had to leave in June
Time wasn't on our side
It wasn't for us to decide
Even if we had tried

It’s just another sad love story
When everything goes wrong
When two people are left so lonely
And all we have is just this song
Memories will be fading
But this melody is ours
In our hearts, it will keep playing
No matter where the wind blows

As the morning breaks
Light is flooding the room
In the sun I see your face
Birds are singing a gentle tune
Send you a kiss, whisper goodbye
Blow it away, let it fly
And watch it reach the sky

It’s just another sad love story
When everything goes wrong
When two people are left so lonely
And all we have is just this song
Memories will be fading
But this melody is ours
In our hearts, it will keep playing
No matter where the wind blows

Even though we can't turn the tide
Hope my kiss finds you alright
Wish I could be there by your side
Hold me tight
Hold me tight
By your side
