"Beside You" is a song recorded by Canadian pop-rock group Marianas Trench from their second studio album Masterpiece Theatre. It was first released for digital download by 604 Records on February 24, 2009 as a promotional single.[1] The song was later serviced to radio on August 17, 2009 as the third official single.[2]

Composition

"Beside You" incorporates 70s and 80s classic rock influence in its chorus harmonies.[3] In contrast to the songs on the album Masterpiece Theatre, which make use of guitar riffs and a structure paired with a melodic chorus, the song instead uses instrumentals such as acoustic guitar, which results in a softer sound.[4] The track runs at 75 BPM and is in the key of E major. Josh Ramsay's range in the song spans from the notes E3 to B4.[5]

Music video

The music video for "Beside You" was shot on September 29, 2009.[6] The beginning shots of the beach and dock were filmed at Jericho Beach in Vancouver, British Columbia. The rest of the video was shot inside of the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts at the University of British Columbia.[7] The orchestra band members in the video are students from Lord Byng Secondary School.

"Beside You" premiered on Much Music's Much on Demand on October 30, 2009.[8] The song reached number one on the MuchMusic Countdown.[9]
