Side by Side (Feeder song)

"Side By Side" is a download-only single by the British rock band Feeder. The song was released on 27 March, 2011 to support victims of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The track was originally written and demoed during the sessions for Silent Cry, before being fully recorded during the Renegades album campaign with a view of appearing on the follow-up album. The song was then released earlier than anticipated, when Grant Nicholas felt that the song's chorus fitted in with the Tsunami disaster. It first came to light in a 2006 interview with the now defunct teletext magazine Planet Sound, in which Grant Nicholas cited he was recording a track titled "Step By Step", before becoming "Barbarella" then "Side By Side".

The artwork for the single was shot by photographer Tadashi Okubo, a photographer with the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper. It depicts Yuko Sugimoto, a 29-year-old mother whose 5-year-old son Raito was later found by the Japanese military. It was taken at 07:00 local time in Ishinomaki on 13 March 2011. She is looking in the direction of the remains of her son's playschool. The photo was chosen by Mikey Eaton for the single release.

The single charted at #91, before returning to the top 75 a year later with " Borders". An acoustic version of Side by Side was included in the digital download release of Borders. Although not included on the UK release of Generation Freakshow, "Side by Side" did appear on the Japanese release which charted at #57 in Japan.
