After pouring her heart out on 2020’s concept album, Confessional, Janet Devlin released It’s Not That Deep in December of 2021, describing the EP as a “welcome break” to the deepness she previously explored. “I was explaining my ideas and I just kept saying “it’s not that deep” so naturally that became the name, and quite honestly the phrase has made its way into my daily life now!”

Original, “Otherside” is a message of encouragement for those facing personal challenges – especially given the current climate. Janet reflects on the song: “For me it feels positive and reflective and I hope that people can relate to it on some level, whether it’s struggling with mental health, relationships or even the global pyjama party – we will come out the other side.”

Bled through your darkest days 
Through the darkest of nights
I know it’s hard to see 
Through the tears that you’ve cried 
But you made it through those days 
And did it all on your own 
I know you’ve changed your ways 
I know your roots have grown 

And everything tastes better 
And the world seems brighter
On the other side 
And the grass is greener 
And your head is clearer 
On the other side 

On the other side, you’ll make it through
To the other side, an ocean of blue
And I know, and I know, and I know it’s waiting there for you 
On the other side, the other side

It’s time to erase regret 
And set sail from your sorrow 
Time to forgive and forget 
And be free for tomorrow
‘Cause the past is the past 
And the present’s a gift 
So don’t you forget 
Don’t you forget 
Don’t you forget how to live 

And everything tastes better 
And the world seems brighter
On the other side 
And the grass is greener 
And your head is clearer 
On the other side 

On the other side, you’ll make it through
To the other side, an ocean of blue
And I know, and I know, and I know it’s waiting there for you 
On the other side, the other side

I know it’s hard but you can never let it pull you under
I know you feel trapped within time
Forget how it feels to have the world go and lose its wonder
Remember where you started

On the other side, you’ll make it through
To the other side, an ocean of blue
And I know, and I know, and I know it’s waiting there for you 
On the other side, the other side
On the other side
On the other, on the other, the other side
