DAY 8: Make A Better Day

TODAY’S SONG: MAKE A BETTER DAY

"Hey. Let's make a better day."

Listen to "Make A Better Day" featuring D'Santi Nava on guitar - check out the download, there are two versions!

This video was made by an artist named Emily Mack – we met online on some Facebook group lol – and decided to collaborate. She makes a lot of videos like this – time lapse of art. I actually ended up using a still from this as cover art for the Make a Better Day single release.

ain’t leavin it up to chance

we need to find a new way to dance

and we don’t care

what they put in our way

don’t need no master, man

got our own damn plan

we know we can

so

we gonna keep on movin on

hey let’s go let’s go

let’s make a path and let’s beat it down now

hey let’s find a better way

hey let’s move let’s move

let’s groove it up and let’s find our rhythm

hey let’s make a better day

we ain’t got no reason to stay hid behind the screen

we gonna make a scene

we gonna keep on screamin

we make rhythm with our dreams

we make everything you see

we keep movin we keep movin

hey let’s go let’s go

let’s make a path and let’s beat it down now

hey let’s find a better way

hey let’s move let’s move

let’s groove it up and let’s find our rhythm

hey let’s make a better day

still operating on a lot of faith

i can’t believe that i could still make space

but i done waited as long as i could wait

now i need to get with it and make another state

so come on baby let’s get another taste

get it up in the mornin don’t let it go to waste now

there ain’t nothin in the universe you can’t do

so 1, 2 let me see if I can wake you

i ain’t takin the path around

i’m gonna blaze right through

and i’ve found that i can’t get there

if i don’t move

hey let’s go let’s go

let’s make a path and let’s beat it down now

hey let’s find a better way

hey let’s move let’s move

let’s groove it up and let’s find our rhythm

hey let’s make a better day

hey let’s go let’s go

let’s make a path and let’s beat it down now

hey let’s find a better way

hey let’s move let’s move

let’s groove it up and let’s find our rhythm

hey let’s make a better day

Backstory

Make A Better Day is an interesting one – this is probably obvious by now but it’s been through tons of revisions. In fact I’m STILL not totally settled on which of the latest versions is better – although I myself lean pretty hard toward the pianoy version - that's the one we actually released.

This song was something where I was really trying to make something that somebody would use for you know, like an ad where they wanted to talk about making things better or finding a better day or way or whatever – I found it really hard to write with an agenda in mind, and so I’ve wondered if the lyrics in this song were dumb – those were revised a bunch of times too. In the end, for me, I kinda dig the chorus and the rap in verse 3. The first two verses, I’m not personally sold on. And I’m admitting that to you – because for me the art is mostly in connecting and vibing with each other. So there you go! Let me know what you think!
