Other Side from Other Side by Jackslacks
“Other Side” is full of invention and wonder and an ode to Jackslacks father, the fallen family leader who passed in 2013. The song also serves as family reunion of sorts. Brother Bill Giorgio-frontman for Detroit's Nobody's Business-came in to lay down his signature guitar licks, nephew Billy Giorgio sings backup, and Jackslacks’ daughter, Taylor Giorgio, lends an interesting violin piece that takes the track to the next level.

Lyrics
See you on the other side,
See you on the other side,
See you on the other side,
He faded on out, he faded on out,
See you on the other side.
He first hailed from New York City,
The part of Queens called Astoria,
A Saint Joe's Kid and a greaser too,
Dollar Bill ran the neighborhood.
See you on the other side,
See you on the other side,
See you on the other side,
He faded on out, he faded on out,
See you on the other side.
Billy was bright like the sun was rising,
From above his light keeps shining.
In the ways of Italian players,
A natural style for all his days.
See you on the other side,
See you on the other side,
See you on the other side,
He faded on out, he faded on out,
See you on the other side.
Poppy once said to give is receiving,
If you take, well that’s deceiving.
Family helps to guide you’re way,
So keep the faith each and every day.
See you on the other side,
See you on the other side,
See you on the other side
He faded on out, he faded on out,
See you on the other side.
See you on the other side
