1) "Sherman is the alterego of the Belgian singer-songwriter Steven Bossuyt.
Starting off with just the need to fulfill his urge to write songs, sherman ended up recording some demos with good friend, and now drummer of the band, David Demeyere. After playing several live solo shows in both Belgium and the UK, Sherman decided to take it to another level and moved to London, where he rented a 12 square meter flat and served coffee in a bakery/coffeeshop in hampstead. After hours he kept on writing songs and playing solo shows at several venues all over town, from 'Enterprise' and 'Dublin Castle' in Camden to 'Spice of Life' in Soho and 'Powers Bar' in Kilburn. After trying every new song he wrote in front of a live audience and receiving a good response, plans were made to record a single. First single 'On Your Side' was produced by EMI publishing-signed multi talent Jeroen Swinnen. Backed up by David Demeyere on drums, Timothy Jacobs on bass and Gerben Hemelsoen on guitar, Sherman is now ready to hit the road as a full band."

2) A Hong Kong pop singer, full name Sherman Chung (鍾舒曼).
3) A band, as follows:
we came together collectively around the time of falling leaves in the 4th year after the new millenium. if that's wrong i can blame it on phil, haha. umm...we play covers and some stuff that i've written. we've played in public a few times, at xmas parties and other such events. last year we played in KU's talent show. we played, 'the general' by dispatch and placed third. (interesting fact by Phil: Members of this band were in the 3 winning shows of the talent show). we've got some big plans for summer and what not. at one of our shows some lady told us she wants us to play at her wedding, so hopefully that falls through. we're gonna aim for the creamery and prom and for first at this year's talent show (with the help of some friends). but yeah, we definitely need to get some new stuff up for you to listen to, cause the stuff that's up now is crap, i'm not going to lie. (except for the alamo, cause that's just funny.) but anywho, thanks for all the support, all you folks have been grrrrrrreeaat.
On Your Side
Sherman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You look as though someone died
You sure everything 's alright?
Take my hand and hold on tight
And everything will be alright
Everything will turn out fine
And you can't
Stop living in a, stop living in a, stop living in a fantasy
Stop living in a, stop living in a, stop living in a fantasy
'Cause I'm on your side for the last time
Don't feel denied for the last time
You say you wanna go tonight
Running to the city lights
They never ever looked so bright
We used to really try to find some peace of mind
And open up your eyes
'Cause I'm on your side for the last time
Don't feel denied for the last time
No you can't
Stop living in a, stop living in a, stop living in a fantasy
No you can't
Stop living in a, stop living in a, stop living in a fantasy
Stop living in a fantasy
'Cause I'm on your side for the last time
Don't feel denied for the last time
In Sherman's song "On Your Side," the lyrics display a sense of concern and care for the person being addressed in the song. Through the opening lines, there is a sense of worry for the individual not being able to sleep due to a potential loss or issue. The words "take my hand and hold on tight" and "everything will be alright" offer a sense of comfort and reassurance, indicating that the singer is supportive of the person they are addressing.
As the chorus begins, there seems to be a theme of living in a fantasy and not facing reality. This statement suggests that the person being addressed may be denying what is true or real to avoid pain or fear. The singer then goes on to say that they are on the person's side for the last time, indicating that there may have been past situations where they offered support, but this is the final time. Once again, the words "don't feel denied" offer encouragement and support, indicating that whatever it is that the person is facing, they are not alone.
The second verse offers an insight into the person's desire to escape by going out into the city lights. In contrast, the singer reminds the person that they used to try and find peace of mind and offers the suggestion to open up their eyes. This line offers a sense of hope, suggesting that if the person faces the truth, they may find the peace of mind they are seeking.
