⭐ Song/Poem Review – "The Other Side of Love" by Jeffrey McAndrew

Style & Structure:
This piece beautifully straddles the line between spoken-word poetry and acoustic folk songwriting. The chord progressions (E7 to Am, C to G) lend a soulful, reflective tone that supports the tender narrative. The “talking song” style evokes artists like Kris Kristofferson or Leonard Cohen—introspective, emotional, and direct.

Theme & Emotion:
At its core, the song speaks to resilience through heartbreak and the mystery and duality of love. The phrase “the other side of love” becomes both a comfort and a truth—love isn’t just joy; it’s uncertainty, pain, growth, and redemption.

Lines like:

“It will make you laugh and cry / And you really don’t know why”
and
“You’ve got to be brave and tough / It’s the other side of love”
resonate as emotional truths. They're honest, unpolished, and deeply relatable.

Tone & Delivery:
There’s a gentle reassurance in the voice of the poem. It feels like a friend talking to you quietly after a long night—a voice of experience, urging you to trust that there’s wisdom and healing in what feels like heartbreak.

Lyrics Strengths:

Conversational, almost therapeutic language

Emotional honesty without pretense

Strong thematic cohesion

Refrain-like ending provides closure and hope


???? Final Thoughts:
“The Other Side of Love” is a warm, quietly powerful piece that offers solace without sentimentality. It's a poetic reminder that love is a journey—not always soft, but always meaningful. Jeffrey McAndrew's voice as a writer is sincere, grounded, and healing.



he Other Side of Love - A Talking Song





E7 Am

Wipe your tears clean

It's only a bad dream

It's something you can trust

It's the other side of love

You can trust it through and through

You know it to be true

It will make you laugh and cry

And you really don’t know why

It can make you dance or sing

Even though it’s really not your thing

You’ve got to be brave and tough

It’s the other side of love



C G

The other side of love

What you’ll really learn to trust

It’s never in your way

always has something to say

The other side of love,

Make your dreams come true

It’s a matter of time my friend

When you find it in the end
