"The Other Side" is a song by David Gray. It was released on 9 December 2002 as the first single from his sixth studio album A New Day at Midnight. The song deals with the theme of death (as Gray's father died in 2001.[1]), in the context of a heartbreaking failed relationship and the author's reflections on his own and his ex-partner's emotional and spiritual failings.[2] The B-side "Lorelei" also appeared on the Japanese pressing of the album as a bonus track.[3] A rare official remix by Novation was released as a promo-only vinyl, but has never been released on any other format. The single peaked on the UK Singles Chart at #35.
