"The Other Side" is a single released on Paul van Dyk's second DJ mix album The Politics of Dancing 2. Paul van Dyk wrote the song in retort to the devastating tsunami which hit southeast Asia on 26 December 2004. Van Dyk believes it is important to recognise that many thousands of people were affected by this tragedy, and lost loved ones. "The Other Side" portrays the feeling of still being with a person, in one's thoughts, who has died. It expresses the faith and aspiration of seeing that person again on "the other side".

The single also includes remixes by Deep Dish, Mark Spoon and Martin Roth. It features Wayne Jackson on vocals, formerly of the band the Dostoyevskys, and was also featured on Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA's home version songlist.
