I performed & recorded this song originally written by Emily Haines & James Shaw for their band, Metric. You can find their version on their "Pagans in Vegas" album. I thought the melody & lyrics were so beautiful I was moved to create my own interpretation of the song.
lyrics
Ten tons may fall, down from the falling sky
Onto the other side
My heart may break, don't look the other way
Don't look the other way
Fools may rise, or fall in their time
Burning with the forest fires
And all we want is to feel like all we got
Didn't cost us everything
Even if we never win
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh
(Who am I on the other side?
You were mine on the other side)
Who am I on the other side?
You were mine on the other side
Free my mind, on with the other loves
On with the other lives
And all I want is to feel like all I got
Didn't cost me everything
Even if I never win
Ten tonnes may fall, down from the falling sky
Onto the other side
