About the artist

Willamena is a rarity -- a nationally-charting genuine indie band. And with its fifth release “The Light Ahead” hitting the streets and the airwaves in January, 2015, Kalamazoo Michigan’s #1 rock act is setting out once again to use its award-winning live show and blue-collar work ethic to prove some old wisdom true: a determined underdog will have his day.

Before its release, lead-off single “The Other Side of Loneliness” debuted at #5 on the Billboard AAA indicator most-added chart (1/17/15), started at #3 in AAA downloads and streams on radio-servicer PlayMPE.com (1/2/15), and jumped straight onto the FMQB AAA top-200 singles chart (1/20/15) – all without professional promotion or a publicist. The EP itself climbed directly to #1 on Amazon.com’s “Hot New Releases” Adult Alternative list (1/17/15). As RadioInfo.com observed, “... it’s definitely a marketable sound that makes for some hit triple-A playlists… and hot AC/AC stations that wait patiently for their turn …. We are keeping our ears on them. So should you.” (RadioInfo.com Rock “pick of the week” 1/14/15).

Lyrics

My heart breaks, every day
Just look around and you'll have to say
I wonder how things got this way
There's sadness everywhere

I see tragedy in history
I read stories and they get to me
I see things as they could be
And things are better, things are better now

(Chorus)
The other side of loneliness
It's like the sun breaking free from the storm
And the rain stops falling down
For a while, for a while
There's no bone-crushing loneliness
There's no wondering if you'll be missed
There's no wishin' you did something different
'cause things get better, things get better now

I get tired of hearin' things
The talking heads and their noise machines
The sound covers a billion screams
One voice is never heard

Now there's a distance to that light ahead
It seems so simple in my head
All the colors were vibrant and new
And I was the same as you

(Chorus)
The other side of loneliness
It's like the sun breaking free from the storm
And the rain stops falling down
For a while, for a while
There's no bone-crushing loneliness
There's no wondering if you'll be missed
There's no wishin' you did something different
'cause things get better, things get better now

Things are better now
The other side of loneliness, sing

(Chorus)
The other side of loneliness
It's like the sun breaking free from the storm
And the rain stops falling down
For a while, for a while
There's no bone-crushing loneliness
There's no wondering if you'll be missed
There's no wishin' you did something different
With your life, with your life

The other side of loneliness
The other side of loneliness
The other side of loneliness
When things get better, things get better now
