Hello down there from the Other Side!

Today we're releasing another brand new song from our upcoming album "Dark Side of the Ocean"! This one is titled "The Other Side" and we're so proud of this song's profound lyrics and beautiful melodies in the stylings of a classic, desert, Middle-Eastern, surf rock song! This one starts out very ethereal and heavenly, but quickly turns acoustic and dry like the desert as it moves the listener from underneath the watery world of "Dark Side of the Ocean" to The Other Side of the waves, to the land of air and light.

The story line here is that an underwater kingdom of sea angels went on a journey to the surface of the ocean to find out what mankind is really like. They had been told that above the waves was a place called "Heaven" where these creatures called "men" lived. The angels ascend to the surface, to the edge of "Heaven," but encounter a shocking message from mankind that permeates through the waters to them.

The sounds and melodies follow the lyrics and artistic imagery through this story (as well as its spiritual implications) in the journey from the ethereal to the hard, Earthy, tangible reality.

We hope you enjoy this imaginative, yet inspiring new track!

~The Crew of Rusty Shipp

lyrics

Hello down there
From the other side
The land of air and light
Where the waves go to die

If you're wanting Heaven
Well, you'll have to keep on going
'Cause we are also looking up to where the sun is glowing
You think this is Heaven
Yeah, but we're the ones all dying for our crimes
No, up here no one gets out alive

We live in the light of the sun
But it burns our skin as red as devils
The air is taking us apart piece by piece
Till we return to dust for shovels

People always look for Heaven in the wrong places
As if it's just somewhere you go on retirement vacation
But a wise man once said that the Kingdom of Heaven is within
Try looking there and let me know when you find it

We're going on a search for the real Heaven
A Heaven we don't have to wait for till our lives are through
We're finding out the real meaning of salvation
And finding out it's better than anything we thought we knew

Look into the light
And not the kind that blinds you or burns out your eyes
The Spirit deep inside
Says, "Today you all can be with me in paradise"

On the other side
The other side
The other side
We're breaking through the chasm to the other side
To Paradise
On the other side
The other side
See you on the other side
In Paradise

Rusty Shipp Nashville, Tennessee

Named after the frontman Russ T. Shipp, the band has created a sound known as Nautical Rock ‘n’ Roll. Characterized by its dark, underwater atmosphere, haunting vocals, and unconventional riffs, the music is a perfect fusion of grunge and surf rock, though it is most memorable for the Beatlesque hooks in every single song.
