This song is easy enough to understand the meaning, the lyrics explain the meaning pretty well.
But basically, what the song is about, is forgetting about material things, and focusing on the things that matter. Because,
everyone makes mistakes, that's what life is, and you shouldn't dwell on unimportant things. It's about moving on from bad
experiences, and living your life the way you want to, and appreciating the life you have.
This song is about knowing that whatever happens, happens, and life goes on. How you should always hope for the best,
and don't give up on your dreams.
I was involved in a bus crash in January, and the event really shook me. I hid how much it had affected me, but
I listened to music to release my emotions.
I only listened to one band, one album, I only listened to one song.
For days, I listened to "Better Days" by the Goo Goo Dolls, and it made me sob every single time.
I connected to it so well, to this day when I listen to it, I am affected so much on an emotional level. I will never
forget how much that song pushed me through those days, I think if I had never listened to this song, I would've recovered
less quickly.
"Better Days" was adopted by CNN as an anthem of sorts to play when they covered the recovery efforts of Hurricane Katrina.
Listen to this song at the bottom of the page, and see if it affects you as much as it did me.
