I’ve returned to this song almost daily during these hard months. This pandemic has been devastating for our little ones. I couldn’t get through it without crying. I was singing this one to my seven-year-old daughter, Ida, like a lullaby. “By Your Side” – Sade – (Sade Adu / Andrew Hale / Stuart Matthewman / Paul S.Īn endlessly expansive and inclusive song of love - it could be the love between lovers, the love of a parent for a child, the love for an elder who is not long for this world…It feels like it has always existed and always will - it feels like an expression of our collective unconscious - it comforts me and invokes a melancholy yearning all at once.
