KaBERTRAM!!! ...it's all about the music.
Welcome to KaBertram!!! - an explosion of sound, motion, entertainment, and talented people from all around the world, all making music together. And if KaBertram! was a hurricane, then Ray Bertram would be the eye at the center of the storm. Ray, a life-long "compulsive writer," started writing at a very age and he's never stopped. When Ray turned his writing in the direction of lyrics in 2008, things really started hopping. Working together with good friend and partner, musician/song-writer/producer and creative genius John Surbaugh, Ray co-founded BCC Global: The Back Country Connection, which made it possible for him to take his writing and cover the world with it. Ray has now seen his writing produced into songs in the United States (Tennessee, California, Ohio, North Caroline, Georgia), Sweden, The Netherlands, South Africa, England, Ireland, Germany, Austria, and beyond. In 2010, Ray and another one of his frequent partners, Swedish singer/musician/song-writer/producer Anders Larson, were signed by the prominent Swedish promotional house, Hit Works, and in the time since numerous of their songs have been placed under contract and aggressively marketed all around the world. And, to date, Ray's writing has been produced into songs covering many genres, including Pop, Euro-Pop, Folk-Rock, Country, Rock-a-billy, Adult Contemporary, Jass/Swwing, Rap, and more. Ray continues to write and to continually direct his creative energies onward and upward, always striving to reach higher and to move in new directions.

Story behind the song
I originally wrote the lyric behind this song in 2008, just after my wife's father passed away. The lyric came back to my mind again in 2009, after my own grandfather passed on at the age of 103. At that time I asked my good friend musician/producer/songwriter Martin Goetz (Austria) if he would consider producing it for me, to which he readily agreed. I felt like Martin could produce a song around the lyrics that exactly matched what I was feeling...and I was right.
Lyrics
The Other Side Verse 1: I know where I am today Ain’t quite where I want to be There’s a better place That I’d really like to see My load can feel so heavy It makes for such a hard ride But I know I’ll pull on through And reach the other side Chorus: I’ll reach the other side I know I’ll find you there I’ll lay my burdens down And meet you in the air There won’t be no more troubles The sun will never hide It’ll be so pretty there Over on the other side Verse 2: The way ahead looks hard The road looks very steep But I’ve got miles to go Before I can stop to sleep I don’t really know the way Or just what I’m gonna do But I can see the other side And I’m gonna pull on through Chorus: I’ll reach the other side I know I’ll find you there I’ll lay my burdens down And meet you in the air There won’t be no more trouble The sun will never hide It’ll be so pretty there Over on the other side Bridge: I will fin’ly stop to rest Forget the tears I have cried I’ll be with you again Over on the other side Chorus: I’ll reach the other side I know I’ll find you there I’ll lay my burdens down And meet you in the air There won’t be no more trouble The sun will never hide It sure will be pretty there Over on the other side The Other Side (c) 2009 W. Ray Bertram, Martin Goetz
