Track Listing:

1.) By Your Side (Album Version) 4:17 = This is the original version that helped Sade make a comeback, and made you all fall in love with her music again. This song is a great slow dance song and would probably make a great wedding song too.

2.) By Your Side (The Neptunes Remix) 3:57 = This remix is more up-tempo than the original but still is very classic and sensual. What I like most about this remix is they changed the beat but still left her beautiful voice original and didn't edit it like they do on most remixes by adding echo's and stuff.

3.) By Your Side (Yard Mix 1) 4:18 = This remix is leaning towards the R&B side, but still keeping Sade's voice natural except for a few exceptional echo's. This remix has more of a dance feeling, but you will notice that when you listen to this maxi-single the remixes get more dance like as it nears the end.

4.) Bye Your Side (Reggae Mix 1) 3:57 = Now this remix is the most danceable remix on this single, but I don't feel that this remix deserves to be called a reggae mix because after listening to it, it doesn't sound that reggae to me. I mean this remix does feature reggae influences but it not completely reggae. Regardless of the reggae situation I still favor this remix better than the other ones, even though they are all great remixes.

For some reason this song reminds me of a wedding song, maybe its because my brother is getting married soon. This is a very sad song and I love Sade's beautiful voice that is way beyond better than what words can explain. This song would also be a great theme for ya'll lovers out there, it just beautiful and sad but most of all inspirational. I recommend this song to anyone that believes in love and has a heart! Go Buy This Single!

Standard remixes for a beautiful songFeb 21, 2001
By Dogville
Well, the release of this maxi-single is a weird decision on Sony's part. Firstly, By Your Side wasnt so well-received at radio, and perhaps, this maxi may help it up a little. The good news is the album has been steady in the top 15 for as long as it was released, not bad for a group whose last studio effort was a distant 9 years ago. Secondly, the maxi isnt different from the international ones. With the exception of the Reggae Mix, the Yard Mix 1 and Neptunes Mix sound almost identical to the origianl beauty on the album. For fans who were hoping that the US edition may contain the much-anticiapted Ben Watt Mix of By Your Side, be disappointed cos the best remix isnt gonna be available commercially, at least for now. If Sony ever decides to release another commercial single off the album, which I doubt so, it may find its way there. Otherwise, live with some of these mediocre mixes.

Sade Neptunes remixJun 07, 2007
By M. Bradley "oblongatta"
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.

Neptune RemixMar 23, 2010
By L. Green "Exercise junkie"
I bought this only for the 2nd track which is the Neptunes remix. I love love love this version. I gave it 4 stars because they could have left the last 2 tracks off of this cd.

By Your Side is one of my new Sade songs, it is classic Sade. The lyrics and music meld together perfectly
