I'm On Your Side (diVINYLS Cover)

by Steve Conte

/

about

In loving memory of diVINYLS lead singer Christina Amphlett who left us way too soon to breast cancer. This gorgeous song is one of my favorites from the band's 1990 album.

I recorded it back in 1992 at Daily Planet studios thanks to my friend, music manager & co-producer, Charlie Gambetta. It was cut live in 2 takes - one for the acoustic guitar & live vocal and the second for the guitar solo & harmony vocal.

Chrissy & I became acquainted through my friend and drummer, Charley Drayton. Charley was the drummer in diVINYLS - and was also married to her. When my cousin's firehouse lost 11 men on 9/11, I produced a charity concert in NYC to benefit the widows and children of the lost heroes and I was joined by Chrissy & Charlie (along with my brother John on bass) to perform a mini diVINYLS set that night. The love in her huge heart was felt by all that night. I miss her dearly, as does the rest of the music world.

After Chrissy passed, a foundation was set up in her honor - itouchmyself.org - to promote women's breast health. I will be giving a major portion of the money from sales of this track to the foundation, so rest assured your donations will be going to a good place.

lyrics

I'm On Your Side (Billy Steinberg/Tom Kelly)
--------------------------------------------------

Remember when we met the way you made me laugh
How could i forget i found my better half
But lately i've been feeling strong and you've been falling behind
Oh tell me what went wrong 'cus i can't read your mind

I'm on your side are you too blind to see
I'm on your side you know i'm not the enemy
Don't push me away there's nothing to hide
I won't betray you baby
I love you babe i'm on your side

Remember how we kissed the first time in the dark
Your lips were on my lips your heart was on my heart
But last night when you went to sleep
You turned your face to the wall
If you put your faith in me
I'll catch you when you fall

I'm on your side are you too blind to see
I'm on your side you know i'm not the enemy
Don't push me away there's nothing to hide
I won't betray you baby i love you babe
I'm on your side

Lately i've been feeling strong
And you've been falling behind
Oh tell me what went wrong
'cus i can't read your mind

I'm on your side are you too blind to see
I'm on your side you know i'm not the enemy
Don't push me away there's nothing to hide
I won't betray you baby
I love you babe i'm on your side
I'll hold on to you no matter what it is
You're going through babe
I love you babe i love you babe i love you babe

I'm on your side are you too blind to see
I'm on your side you know i'm not the enemy
Don't push me away there's nothing to hide
I won't betray you baby i love you babe
I'm on your side
