Big hit on VH1 back in 2000... I love the simpleness of this one & the video is just a great wonder...

Good song. Definitely not her best.
My favorite Sade track is "The Sweetest Taboo".

I was delighted to hear this song on AT20 this past weekend. When Ed McMann announced that an extra was coming up by Sade, I was expecting to hear "Smooth Operator" or maybe "Sweetest Taboo", but he surprised us and played "By Your Side", one of my favorite tracks by Sade. Anyone remember the weekend of March 31, 2001 when AT20 automatically removed about four songs due to their unexplained recurrent rule and this song was basically sucked back onto the chart due to that? I was glad, because I got to hear it a few last times before it was gone for good. But as I said, I was glad to hear it again last weekend.

This was a very pretty, mellow song. The video was beautiful, too.

Beautiful song. My best friend recently got married and this was their wedding song. I nearly had tears in my eyes when it played.

Great song. I remember being confused as to why I liked such a boring song. I guess it was the video.

She sounds like a man. My friend played the album in his car and I said she sounded like a man. He got all mad when everyone in the car thought so too. Sade was taken out of the CD player after that.
Me: 1, Sade: 0
Whoosh.

Not saying you can't say something negative about a song, because of course you can... just kinda surprised you did, that's all. :)

He became my ex-friend so I had reason to take the Sade out of his car.
Sade sounds like a man in this song. The end.

It was aired on the US Music Survey this week as a tribute to American Music Awards winners (AC category) from the past.

Did that take place of the US Music Survey Spotlight this week?
AT10's spotlight also focused on AMA winners in the AC category of the past, but the songs they chose weren't necessarily (and almost all were not) from the year the artists won the award. Instead of "By Your Side", they played "Smooth Operator".

Love this song. I still don't understand why this shouldn't have been a hit at pop when "Only Time" by Enya and "Thank You" by Dido both were pretty successful. I like "by your side" much more than those two adult-sounding songs, and Sade's got loads more sex appeal than either of them.

Beautiful song! Sade's voice is so silky, and soothing. I love the Lazy Dog Vocal Mix that Ben Watt did of this song. It was very latin-sounding, and mellow. Makes you feel like you are on a nice warm beach on a sunny day in the summer when you hear that mix.
