Song Review: The Veronicas And Ruby Rose Show That Love Is “On Your Side”

Ruby Rose has become a household name for her role in Orange Is The New Black, and her capacity to create powerful, affecting work as an actress has translated into her directing. In her narrative take on The Veronicas “On Your Side”, Rose drives home the loyalty and resilience of the track’s electro-pop message: love is perseverant.

“On Your Side” is an amazing video that reminds music lovers of the power of film to elaborate the  mindful visions music creates. Not many artists use the opportunity video gives to make a song a massive hit, but “On Your Side” makes this, already lovable Veronicas’ track, absolutely addicting. As you see the ups and downs of this real -life couple’s rollercoaster love,  Ruby Rose and Jessica Origliasso, your mind becomes imprinted with the lyrics and strong images of their on-screen relationship. From its starry beginning, its rough, societal oppositions, and the individual demons that can block a person form loving their partner better, the video is an intimate, introspective look into what love truly entails: strength. As you fall for this couple, you learn that love overcomes pain because its joys are worth so much more. As they kiss and lovingly stare at the other, viewers, grow to understand why they stand side by side through violence and drug addiction; their love is beautiful.

“On Your Side” is infectiously rhythmic, and has a subtle hint of Caribbean flare that, when combined with the video,  make it more than “another indie-pop/electronica song”. This song makes you want to dance and sing along with friends, which is what pop music should do, yet the video adds nuances to The Veronicas’ masterful track. Suddenly you realize that “On Your Side” is more than a good love song, it is an empowering one. For More Information on The Veronicas Click Here.
