BTT : Sing! Sing a Song!
Posted: January 15th, 2009 | Author: mil3tt3 | Filed under: booking through thursday | Tags: booking through thursday | 3 Comments »My first Boooking Through Thursday for this year. And a first for this blog.
So, today’s question?
- What songs … either specific songs, or songs in general by a specific group or writer … have words that you love?
- Why?
- And … do the tunes that go with the fantastic lyrics live up to them?
I have one song in mind when I read this question. I love the song Better Days by Dianne Reeves.
I love the words on the song and everytime I am down I would just remember them and got myself motivated.
Here are the words that I love the most.
She said all the things you ask
You will know someday
But you have got to live
In a patient way
God put us here by fate
And by fate that means
Better daysShe said, child we are all
Moons in the dark of night
Ain’t no mornings gonna come
Till the time is right
Can’t get no better days lest
You make it through the night
You gotta make it
Through the night
Yes you do
You can’t get to no
Better days
Unless you make it
Through the night (baby)
Oh ho, you will see
Those better days
But you gotta be patient
Be patient, oh baby
Be patient
Definitely. It made me always sing with it when I heard it being played on the radio or players.

Those lyrics are a good message for us.
Dianne Reeves is the reason I had to buy the soundtrack to “Good Night and Good Luck.” She is a phenomenal singer.
Wow, imagine writing and/or performing a song that can alter someone’s frame of mind. That would be an amazing accomplishment.
