By My Side

Gotta shake your ass to the funky new sound
Dream
All night long
There's nothing wrong
If you can't live without me
By my side
We'll sing this song
And let the music play on
These lyrics from the song "By My Side" by Comedy of Life speak to the power of music as a unifying force in relationships. The first two lines seem to encourage the listener to let loose and enjoy the music, with the use of the phrase "shake your ass" suggesting a physical liberation that comes with being immersed in a good beat. However, through the repetition of the phrase "gotta get your feet on the ground," there's also a sense that this freedom should be taken in moderation - one should enjoy the music but not lose touch with reality altogether.
The second half of the lyrics are even more explicitly about love and connection. Beginning with the word "dream," the lyrics suggest a kind of idealized love that transcends any particular reality. The notion that "there's nothing wrong” implies that there is a sense of complete surrender to the experience of being in a relationship, with all of its ups and downs. When they sing "if you can't live without me" it could be interpreted as a declaration of both their own necessity, as well as the other person's. Finally, the song concludes with the invitation to "stay by my side" and continue to let the music play, forever connected through the inescapable forces of love and sound.

He's actually funnier and more polished than 60% of the successful stand ups I've seen. I hope he plays the game carefully, he deserves a v large fan base, props bro.

Unprecedented humor. The punchlines, the irony, the dialogue... it’s all hilarious.
