Don't think it's about or to anyone in particular. From the SONGBOOK liner notes written by Gord:

/11. ALWAYS ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

I wrote a whole bunch of songs in preparation for East Of Midnight. I was alone, on my own, and "uninvolved" for about five years, and as a consequence I was able to write very strongly at that time. We recorded it a couple of times, it got put away, and I hadn't really thought about it until I dug it out of the storage space back in the fall of '98.
