1990 single by Aerosmith
"The Other Side" is a song performed by the American rock band Aerosmith, and written by Steven Tyler, Jim Vallance, and Holland-Dozier-Holland. It was released on June 6, 1990 as the fourth single from the band`s highly successful 1989 album Pump.
Jim Vallance composed the instrumental parts for the song between Christmas and New Year`s Eve 1988. He then mailed a demo of the song with guitar, piano, bass, drums, and horn synthesizer to Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler, who came up with the lyrics and vocal melody.[4] The songwriting team of Holland-Dozier-Holland were eventually given songwriting credit on the song after threatening to file suit over similarities between "The Other Side" and their song "Standing in the Shadows of Love".[4]
Music video
A music video was produced to promote the single. The video was directed by Marty Callner, and featured John Kalodner. The video includes the intro piece "Dulcimer Stomp".
