While Avi was born and raised in California, he has lived outside of Nashville for years. He bought a cabin and about 1000 acres of heavily forested mountainous land. His dad raised him on the likes of Simon and Garfunkel, James Taylor and John Denver. Many have thought that he was referring to death being Otherside, but he was just longing to not be so mentally and emotionally torn. It has taken him a long time, but his entire countenance tells us he is much better.
You are exactly right about the song. Avi said he wrote this because he lived in LA for 7 years with ptx and it was hard to get to nature. So when he did, this was what it felt like, going to the Otherside. This song was my introduction to Avi. I was looking for xmas music, and i guess because of ptx, this came up. On a whim, I clicked on a beautiful man sitting in the forest. I was hooked instantly. Thanks for another great reaction. Merry Christmas, cheers!
The song is peaceful, calming and beautiful. From my perspective, it's about the best place and way to find solace. Like your reactions to Avi's music 🙂
This song embodies what many have said about Avi's music - you don't just hear it, you feel it. While Avi was born in California and grew up in Visalia, and is an ambassador for Sequoia National Park in California, this video was shot on and near his 1,000 acres in the woods west of Nashville, where he's lived for several years. And the scene for the "silver moonlight" verse - the filming was timed so that the scene was lighted only by the light of the full moon. As for his meaning in the song, let me have him tell you himself. On his first solo tour in 2019, he would preface each song with its backstory, which I love. In taping the concerts I went to, I made sure to capture those stories, including for "Otherside", And this will also show you how it was performed live, with his touring band at the time (made up mostly of members of the group Streetcorner Symphony).(By the way, the man playing keyboards a few feet from me is Daniel Ellsworth, who played piano both in "Healing" and in all 4 songs in Avi's Sunset Sound videos.) ruclips.net/video/hGoxWRvT7KA/видео.html
You need to check out his "All Is Well" the 7 Layers Sessions version (there are 3 different versions, but I think that's the best) it's beautiful. Also, "I'm only Getting Started" it's another great motivation song like "Change On the Rise". Love your reactions!
Great reaction, thank you. My first song with Avi was this one, I was touched deeply and am hooked for life. You’re not wrong at all, this song is about his longing to be in nature when he is not able to, especially, I think, when he was touring with Pentatonix for months at a time. For more reactions, I suggest “Quarter past four” (released under the name “Avriel & the Sequoias”), and “All is well” 7 Layers Session #126 - ruclips.net/video/sNjbAAjF4Tg/видео.htmlsi=dEjHKcM6Dz9umQQ7 Look forward to your next reaction.
You nailed it! Great reaction! There’s an acoustic down/low version of this song on my channel from a livestream. For your next Avi reactions, I think you’ll really like his Born in California, Get Down and When I’m a Fool. All are a bit of southern rock/folk vibe. Yay for more Avi! 🙌🏻💚
Indeed, I thought the same. Avi is like Merlin, the magician. He put a spell on me with his wonderful voice, the beautiful lyrics and the just amazing video. And this spell brings me to rest, to take a deep breath and lead me to the otherside, where everything is okay.
This song taught me what it means to meditate. I had tried before, unsuccessfully, and even thought the idea was a little silly. Then, I heard this song. Avi takes me over to that otherside! I get it now! I can tune out everything else, relax, and feel like I can breathe better. This song and Full Moon live both put me there -- every time.
This is one of my favourite songs, a great reaction as usual. I’d like to add some choices :- Sunset Session, When I’m a fool Seven layers, All is well It knows me, The Summit to be honest he doesn’t have a bad song. 💜💜
You are so right about where Avi goes for peace, tranquility & inspiration. Yes this video was done on his property in Tennessee. I Love the visual, such a cool video and beautiful, peaceful singing. It definitely takes me to the other side. Avi' never ceases to amaze me with his lyrics. Thank you for continuing to react to his music. 😍
Hello, I love your reaction ❤. Please could you react to Change on the Rise? Thank you. Hugs from Chile 🇨🇱 🤗 ❤️ Edit: I just watched your Playlist lol 😅 But maybe When I'm a fool from his Sunset sound session 😊
Probably to late for a Xmas reaction, but Avi performed a folk style rendition of O Holy Night at a concert last year. 5gentexan has a great recording of the live performance. I think you would really enjoy it!
@@5thgentexan95 I went and subscribed to your channel and I would comment on any of the videos but I don’t want to hear the song 🎧 😭…yet. If you don’t mind me doing a reaction off the videos you have there possibly…then I’d leave one 🤣

Avi is an Ambassador for the Sequoia, so please support that as well.

His favorite place, nature. He now lives near Nashville in the middle of the woods in a log cabin
Lots of people talk about using it as a meditation
I can see that

Haha, I just commented for him to check out your channel for O Holy Night !
@@cocohol3513😆🤗 Maybe he’ll do ALL of them! 🥰
And yes, the low version of Otherside from the livestream is great too!
@@5thgentexan95 maybe 🤔 😉
THIS SONG IS MAGICAL , THANKS FOR YOURS REACTIONS ❤❤❤

Love everything Avi does! So glad you are continuing with his solo stuff.
I just got this comment? Lol more coming soon for Avi however 😀
Anything Avi puts out is gold. But I've not seen anyone suggest Full Moon. An absolutely beautiful song.
I’ll look into it. More Avi is always the answer 🤣. Much love
This is one of my favourite songs, a great reaction as usual.
I’d like to add some choices :- Sunset Session, When I’m a fool
Seven layers, All is well
It knows me,
The Summit
to be honest he doesn’t have a bad song. 💜💜
More coming soon for sure! 😀

Avi❤❤❤❤ thank you so much for your reactions
Hello, I love your reaction ❤. Please could you react to Change on the Rise? Thank you. Hugs from Chile 🇨🇱 🤗 ❤️
Edit: I just watched your Playlist lol 😅
But maybe When I'm a fool from his Sunset sound session 😊
😂 it’s totally fine. Yup, more coming from Avi in the near future.
@@SargeStreams yay!!!
Yeah, “When I’m a fool”, it’s formidable.
Probably to late for a Xmas reaction, but Avi performed a folk style rendition of O Holy Night at a concert last year. 5gentexan has a great recording of the live performance. I think you would really enjoy it!
I'll check it out!
@SargeStreams I would leave a link but they seem to disappear. 5gentexan has the best recording for sound
@@SargeStreamsI think you’ll like it! Thanks Coco! 🤗

Also, I’d tell everyone where I got the video (if not from Avi’s Channel) to give credit too.
