Dead Around The Edges

                                                    Karma Comes Calling

Recorded by Sam and Jennifer at Hitherside's studio with PreSonus StudioLive 16.4.2 and Studio One!

Lyrics:

Doorbell’s ringing
Who can it be?
It’s that kind of delivery.
Yet again.
Who you think you fooling?
Should’ve seen it coming. 
	 Ricocheted ego off your looking glass
	Caught up to you from your malevolent past
Ring ra ring ring
	Karma comes calling
You bit off more than you could chew
But all the while you’ve learned nothing new
It must drive you insane
Was the high worth the pain?
Could’ve seen it coming
	Ricocheted ego off your looking glass
	Caught up to you from your malevolent past
	Ring ra ring ring
	It’s that bitch again
	Karma Comes Calling
Here comes karma
Just around the corner
She’s got a thing or two to show you
It’s coming soon
Was the high worth the pain?
Should’ve seen it coming.
Don’t you go and think that you can do whatever you want to
Illusion plays inside your head like you got it right 
 Instead you’re gonna need a miracle
Or a special hiding place to go
Hear the sound of footsteps
That’s karma catching up to you
	Ricocheted ego off your looking glass
	Caught up to you and your malevolent past
Ring ra ring ring
Ring ra ring ring
It’s that bitch again
Karma comes calling

Hitherside's 12th original. Recorded in Hitherside's home studio using PreSonus StudioLive 16.4.2 and Studio One.
She charms you with the wink of an eye
Chemical romance the curious kind
Decide to give it a try
Visions of pink elephant skin
Acid dreams and hallucination
You’re stroking the sky
Light her up, swallow it down, breathe her in till you’re floating around.
You’re hooked. She takes you over the edge.
You’re comin’ down fast like a ton of lead bricks
Wondering where to get your next fix
So cold and alone
Desperation’s doing you in
Sweating and dreading are wearing you thin
Feeling lower than low
Light her up, swallow it down, breathe her in till you’re floating around
You’re hooked. She takes you over the edge.
Her strangle on you is stronger than yourself
She pumps you up with inabilities
Light her up, swallow it down, breathe her in till you’re floating ….
You’re floating around
Light her up, swallow it down, breathe her in till you’re floating around
You’re hooked. You’re hooked
Light her up, swallow it down
She takes you over the edge

13th original Hitherside track--  'Changed My Mind Again'

I changed.  I,I,I  I changed my mind again
It’s a hazy  day in my head
I’m dizzy doing double time
Second thoughts of indecision
Buzzing my brain, driving me insane
    Ever wonder what I’m thinking about?
    I’ve been trying to figure it out
               I ch ch changed  
               I changed my mind again
               I changed my mind again
               It happens every now and then
               I, I, I    I ch ch changed my mind again
No doubt about it
I did a one-eighty.  It’s a routine
Depends which way the wind blows before I agree
Ideas a plenty
Three sided stories
Brainstorming my own way
As sure as the sun will rise
I’ll change my mind another time
    Ever wonder what I’m thinking about?
    I’ve been trying to figure it out
                I ch ch changed
                I changed my mind again
                I changed my mind again
                It happens every now and then
                I, I, I     I ch ch changed my mind again

                Ever wonder what I’m thinking about
      
                I ch ch changed
                I changed my mind again
                I changed my mind again
                It happens every now and then
                I, I, I     I ch ch changed my mind again

Say Goodbye to the Enemy

'Unsanctify Me'

Take me by the hand
Lead me away to the promise land
Under a glowing moon
Burning thoughts that cross my mind 
Spark images of sin divine
They include you
Let’s yield to temptation
Come follow me. Come follow me to my bed
And you’ll save me from sleeping
I pray you get down on your knees
Unsanctify me
Taste me, no one will know
But the devil below who bought my soul
A black cat got his tongue
Carnal knowledge rocks my mind
No worries, we won’t be crucified
Pretend that it’s love
Face to face
I see lust in your eyes all day
My confession’s I've got no objection
As long as I’m guilty with you
Let’s yield to temptation
Come follow me. Come follow me to my bed
And you’ll save me from sleeping
I pray you get down on your knees
Unsanctify me
Unsanctify me. Unsanctify me. Unsanctify me
Sweet devour, drain the lust
Come follow me. Come to my bed
I pray you get down on your knees
Unsanctify me. Unsanctify me
Come follow me. Come follow me to my bed
And you’ll save me from sleeping
I pray you get down on your knees
Unsanctify me

Out of Line

Hitherside is a part American, part Belgian  Female Fronted  Hard Rock band based in Antwerp, Belgium. The band consists of vocalist, Jennifer, bassist Joshua, guitarist/multi-instrumentalist, Sam and drummer Steve.
They turn heads with their infectious, Modern  Rock songs that contain amazing guitar riffs, textures and memorable melodies with big doses of lush harmonies mixed in.
Hitherside began in late 2011 as a musical duo with just Jennifer and Sam. In essense, they were an internet band who were writing, recording and producing their own original Rock songs and videos. They landed an endorsement deal with PreSonus Audio Electronics (http://www.presonus.com/community/artists/Hitherside) with the release of their debut single/video, ‘Insignificant Other’ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66E_uvonMig) .  From then on, the group started building a strong international fan base.  PreSonus quotes that “Hitherside is a radio-ready, Alt-Rock, one-two punch that explores the dichotomy of heavy guitars paired with female vocals. The result is intense, emotional and highly listenable music”.  In the summer of 2012, Sam and Jennifer were chosen to perform an acoustic version of ‘Insignificant Other’ on a local television music station called GumTV. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZSb8vLxrSw) After creating six songs, the duo rounded up three other musician friends from Sam’s former bands to play a few live gigs. Sam and Jennifer then decided to go back into their studio to focus on polishing their sound and to write more music.
Later in 2013, the duo started their search for other talented and highly motivated musicians to form a new line up in order to play live. This feat proved longer and more difficult than imagined. However, the search for a 5-string bassist ended a year later when Joshua joined the band. A few months later, Hitherside finally found Steve, a very talented and driven drummer that they had always wanted.
All music is recorded in our project studio using mainly PreSonus gear.
