From the band's 1986 album of the same name. A rendition of what I felt was a haunting nice surprise song from The Moody Blues on the record... don't mind the rendering glitch early on, maybe one day I will fix it.

Hello World!, I say WELCOME. I'm a 57 years old classic rock fan and musician. For the most part I only do covers of classic rock and folk songs but am known from slipping in an occasional ballad or instrumental here and there too.

Story behind the song
I got a hold of this album because of "Wildest Dreams", one of the songs that instantly clicked with me back in the mid 80's. The album these songs came on is one of the firsts from the band to rely heavily on synths and even drum machines... 'The Other Side of Life' a natural just waiting to be done at the home studio. First song I post here after a hiatus, and the first one of the new 2014 year. Keep on rocking!
Lyrics
The Atmosphere On the streets tonight Is the driving beat Of the world. The word down here On the streets tonight Is the truest music You've heard. So take your share Of the gifts that are there They all belong to you. And come what may At the break of each day We all begin anew once more We all begin anew... Baby, baby, baby, let's investigate The other side of life tonight The lovers and the fighters And the risks they take Are on the other side of life tonight. Let's loose our way Go completely astray And find ourselves again You know the only way to get there Is to take that step To the other side of life tonight. The atmosphere On the streets tonight Is the driving beat Of the world. The word down here On the streets tonight Is the truest music You've heard. So take your share Of the gifts that are there They all belong to you. And come what may At the break of each day We all begin anew once more We all begin anew... Baby, baby, baby, let's investigate The other side of life tonight The lovers and the fighters And the risks they take Are on the other side of life tonight. Let's loose our way Go completely astray And find ourselves again You know the only way to get there Is to take that step To the other side of life tonight...
