about

This song took me weeks to write. I was doing a lot of driving in the first part of 2022, and I hadn't written a song in a while. I would come up with a melody or a lyric, then start writing, then decide it was crap and start again.

After a few weeks of doing this, I finally settled into the first lyric:

"I'm getting used to seeing the clock say 4 am."

(I've been struggling with insomnia for years.)

And from there, I spun out a melody and kept the lines coming.

The song ended up being about my version of optimism. The title, "Better Way", was inspired by something Bob Proctor said in an interview I heard with Lewis Howes on YouTube.

He said simply, "There's always a better way."

This thought really struck me because it suggests that even if we fail at something 1000 times, it's not that we can't do it. Actually, the opposite is true...

We're way closer to actually doing it - as long as we don't stop trying, and tweak our approach.
