LOVE This song Feb 10, 2009 By Your Side is one of my new Sade songs, it is classic Sade. The lyrics and music meld together perfectly
by your side Mar 11, 2008 not that great of a cd. I gave it a three star but I think its realy a two star. All of my other cds by sade , i'd watch over and over again. But not this one.

Sade Neptunes remix Jun 07, 2007 I bought this CD for the Neptunes remix of this song. There is a reason why the Neptunes are among the hottest producers right now. I love everything Sade. So I had to get this. Listen to it. It's hot.

Sade Is NOT By My Side With This Crappy Song Jan 13, 2006 I'm a big fan of Sade and I don't expect anything but the best from her. Unfortunately, she has fallen short and "By Your Side" has to be her worse single ever. It's not jazzy, it's not groovy, and there is no bass. Who the heck wants to hear a twangy guitar? Skip this lousy song.

By Your Side... Mar 31, 2004 ''By Your Side'' is really the only song I like by Sade, her other work is rather too much for my tastes. Nevertheless, it is one of the most flawless song's I've ever heard, with lyrics like ''You think I'd leave you down, when you're down on your knees'' (OK- this song has the same concept in mind as Shania Twain's ''From This Moment'' both songs are beautiful). It's not one of these depressing late night songs, it however the opposite, it's beautiful, with a voice that is so sedative and pleasing. The first time I heard this song playing, was when I was watching one of the ''Sex And The City'' episodes, and this song came on during one of the scenes, well I flew up from my chair, the song was so overwhelming, that the following week I had rushed out to the music store, and got myself the CD single. Look...I am a fan of remixes, I have had allot of experiences with remixes and the ones included here are however nothing special. The CD features Neptune (who has also done a standard quantity of promo work for Alicia Keys and Madonna), he never really changes a song, all his mixes are just enhancements, with a few beats thrown in, hardly anything else is done, he makes a mix that would easily be considered as a (Edit). The (Yard Mix) is however the weakest here, It's rather like R&B verses Trip-Hop <---Something bland and fake sounding. The (Reggae Mix) is average...I don't really think this mix was a good idea, it's supposed to sound like reggae, whatever the hell they call it-----ehhhhh not so good. I also do not understand something else. The cool remix that plays on the radio is not included here!!?....Ben Watt (From Everything But The Girl) made a real cool mix for this song, and (apparently) it is not commercial and was only a radio promo....Well to hell with that!. The album version, is the best on this CD. This is the kind of song like (Madonna's ''Power Of Goodbye'') that is not for remixing, and not for the clubs or enhancements. The only reason I'm giving this album 5 stars is for the (album version). Whoever decided to single out Ben Watt's remix- made a grave mistake, shame on you!.
