about

Although this was the most recent single release, off my last solo album, I include it here because I am so proud of it. Bradley Jacobson helped me produce this album, so he was there for all the recording sessions. We had such an amazingly talented team of people working on this track, from Niki’s ethereal harmony vocals and the rap that she came up with and perfected in the studio; to Christopher Freeman’s awesome bass. Hoagie ultimately mixed it all together, adding his own unique style and flair to the song, while still allowing it to fit in with the sound of that early 80s genre that I so dearly love. The song took on an entirely new dimension with the retro-themed video by Ravensview Films. Director Danial J. Smith and producer Kendra Ruczak were so easy to work with, and they assembled an amazing cast of young actors who made the long day of filming such a joy.

lyrics

I hunted high and low for you
No one else could ever do
Sometimes you make me want to scream
Sometimes we live inside a dream

You stayed through my darkest days
When I fell apart you remained
I’ll be there when your world shakes
I’ll be there through the mistakes and heartaches

When the world gets cold I want you by my side
When I get old I want you by my side
When the world gets cold I want you by my side
When I get old I want you by my side

A minor earth | a major sky
A million reasons not to cry
I’d lose my way if not for you
You leave the breadcrumbs so I knew

You stayed through my darkest days
When I fell apart you remained
I’ll be there when your world shakes
I’ll be there through the mistakes and heartaches

When the world gets cold I want you by my side
When I get old I want you by my side
When the world gets cold I want you by my side
When I get old I want you by my side

I’ll be there when your whole world shake, shakes
Even when your heart heart aches aches
You will never, you will never slide, slide
Always got to have you by my side, side
By… My… Side…

When the world gets cold I want you by my side
When I get old I want you by my side
When the world gets cold I want you by my side
When I get old I want you by my side

Devin Tait Sacramento, California

Having transplanted himself from Kansas to California around the turn of the millennium, Devin Tait quickly found himself derailed from his original plan to join a boyband. Meeting a couple of guitar playing lesbians at karaoke led Tait to form the band Shitting Glitter with Amy Crosby and Von Edwards. After nearly a decade with the band, Tait decided it was time to branch out on his own. ... more
