about

Kharkiv born, Ukrainian / British artist, producer and multi-instrumentalist Morchella releases emotive new charity single ‘The Other Side’ featuring some beautiful production from award winning songwriter / producer Astraea (Ward Thomas, Hannah Grace). The song is a dark yet uplifting ballad with a powerful lyrical message exploring the current situation in Ukraine, with all proceeds going towards www.dec.org.uk and select local grassroots charities within the country.

Speaking on the song, Morchella says: “I wanted to dedicate a song to my beautiful country, and particularly my city Kharkiv. I have so many fond memories from growing up there and it’s where I first discovered my love of music (thanks to my incredible music teacher Tatyana Kurilko). What struck me most when speaking to loved ones out there, is how despite the dangers of staying, so many people do not want to leave their homes or their country - which I find incredibly moving. That idea really inspired the lyrics of this song. It is beyond tragic what is happening there and my heart goes out to all the people of Ukraine.”

lyrics

Tell me how do I get to the other side
They say great men prosper over on the other side
And the city gates will welcome me arms open wide
Here the stars will glisten and the streets are paved in light

Ooo ooo ooo ooo oooo

They’ll place a statue of us on the other side
And the townsfolk will gather round it and beam with pride
They’ll share tales of beauty and of a love divine
And then They’ll scatter our ashes over the great divide

But you still haunt my dreams
Yeah you still haunt my dreams
Yet nothing’s what it seems
Yeah you still haunt my dreams

My flame burns dimmer with each passing stride
Who knew, the earth would crumble as our worlds collide
But there can be no you on the other side
So tell me why, would I head to the other side?
