Better Times

LIFE & LOVE · Released 26 July 2021

Lyrics

Let me help you bear the load Let me take you down the road To a place you’ve never been Never heard about or seen Where the air is fresh and crisp and clean Where skies are blue and trees are green Remember all the good times Imagine them again Imagine just how good they were And smile like you did back then… …there’ll be better times again. Sometimes it’s hard with all that Noise inside your head Sometimes it’s like you’re Pushing on a thread…. …but there’ll be better times ahead. Remember Better Times Ahead.

About the song

Written during the first lockdown, when no-one seemed to know what lay ahead of us and everyone around me was struggling to stay positive. It’s a message of hope - that things won’t be like this forever, to not let all the noise and negativity take control of our thinking. Life will eventually adjust to some normality and it will be even better than it was before.
