Song of the Moment: Better Days

[stip]

[Hypnos]

This was demoed in the Riot Act sessions, I wonder if one day we´ll hear a full band version. Also, there are 2001´s circa versions of Brokenhearted, Longing to Belong and Without You. Can we considered these, outtakes of this sessions?

I really like this Ed song. Probably one of my more favorite solo efforts

[digster]

This song has kind of plummeted for me since it came out. I think the song itself isn't good enough to save some pretty drippy lyrics.

[PHATJ]

I very rarely listen to this song (maybe 4-5 times a year), but when I do hear it I always love it.

[lowlight79]

I love this track, I don't listen to it much, but it's one of my favorite tracks Ed put out solo.

[stip]

it's a beautiful performance of a marginal song

[Jorge]

This song is shitty beyond shit

[VinylGuy]

i liked it when it came out...i figure that pj version might be better, but its a cool song.

I hate that its on the soundtrack to that shitty julia roberts movie.

[Jessica Fletcher]

Yep. Also Future Days, to a worse degree.

Are we sure it's the same song? Everything about this piece feels like a second-rate version of Ed's ITW-type writing.

[EJ]

I never listen to it, but I still like this one. Hate the movie.

Pj would just turn it into a mediocre generic rock number especially if produced by BOB.

[Heathen]

I'm not even sure I've heard this one. Ed's songs seem to all have the same title nowadays.

Yeah, but they did it for the RA sessions...everyone loves that right??

RIGHT??

and the same lyrics

i think it would have ended up on Lost Dogs if it went past the Eddie acoustic demo stage, if it's even the same song

[Mine]

You Are (a.k.a. Undone)

nope

[Jorge]

You Are (a.k.a. Undone)

nope

I think he's referring to the fact that "You Are"'s original title was "Undone", as per the Lost Dogs liner notes
