about

On a cold and frosty February day in the depths of lockdown I was out walking over Epsom Downs gazing wistfully over the horizon at the setting winter sun, longing for better days to come.
Unbeknown to me, the moment was captured by my daughter taking this photograph on her iPhone.
Inspired by the image, I wrote 'Better Days' with a contrasting upbeat summer vibe, and the prospect of post lockdown better days ahead.

lyrics

HARD TIMES HAVE NOW BEEN AND GONE
NO NEED TO ASK WHAT WENT WRONG
BE THE FLAME THAT LIGHTS UP MY SOUL
SHOW ME THE WAY OUT OF THIS HOLE

YOU CAN SAY WHAT YOU WANT BUT WHEN THE SUN IS IN THE SKY
IT TAKES ME AWAY
AND I LONG FOR BETTER DAYS, BETTER DAYS

GIVE ME A SMILE, THEY CAN'T KEEP US DOWN
I WILL BE YOUR GUIDING LIGHT
PACK OUR BAGS, LET'S LEAVE THIS OLD TOWN
WITH YOU BY MY SIDE IT'LL BE ALRIGHT

YOU CAN SAY WHAT YOU WANT BUT WHEN THE SUN IS IN THE SKY
IT TAKES ME AWAY
AND I LONG FOR BETTER DAYS, BETTER DAYS, BETTER DAYS, BETTER DAYS, BETTER DAYS, BETTER DAYS, BETTER DAYS, BETTER DAYS

WE'LL FIND THE SEA, SET SAIL ANY DAY
A SUNSHINE ISLAND FAR, FAR AWAY
NO LOOKING BACK, WE WON'T ASK WHY
WE'LL KEEP OUR EYES ON THE DEEP BLUE SKY

YOU CAN SAY WHAT YOU WANT BUT WHEN THE SUN IS IN THE SKY
IT TAKES ME AWAY
AND I LONG FOR BETTER DAYS, BETTER DAYS, BETTER DAYS, BETTER DAYS, BETTER DAYS, BETTER DAYS, BETTER DAYS, BETTER DAYS
