Janet "Better Days" Janet Jackson - Better Days
Album: All For You (J. Jackson, J. Jam, T. Lewis) Song of the day: July 8, 2003 I used to sit and wonder Would I ever be happy Life was so bittersweet So many disappointments Too many ups and downs for me When you live a nightmare It's hard to dream But sometimes life just isn't fair So why complain nobody cares And I don't wanna waste nobody's time So I'm I'm bout to change my vibe Today the sun's gonna shine Cause I made up my mind That today will be the start of better days Leavin old shit behind And move on with my life The blindfold's off my eyes And now all I see for me is better days Afraid of my reflection Tell me that's not me I see That's who I wanna be Stuck somewhere in the middle On half full or half empty Waiting for somebody to come and rescue me Can't let that petty attitude Start to jade my point of view Only thing that does is bring me down So I'm I'm bout to change my vibe Today the sun's gonna shine Cause I made up my mind That today will be the start of better days Leavin old shit behind And move on with my life The blindfold's off my eyes And now all I see for me is better days Hurt so many times before I used to cry but no more Let it go and life can feel So good Stop lying the blues Can't let that petty attitude Start to jade my point of view Only thing that does is bring me down So I'm I'm bout to change my vibe Today the sun's gonna shine Cause I made up my mind That today will be the start of better days Leavin old shit behind And move on with my life The blindfold's off my eyes And now all I see for me is better days | |

This post-Velvet Rope song was an act of dialogue with her previous work. This track is the answer to TVR's "Special" and a consummation of all the pain encapsulated in the Velvet Rope project (from "Special" to "Accept Me" to "God's Stepchild"). All For You is a companion piece to TVR in my opinion. TVR focuses on the dark, somber aspects of life and emotion while AFY focuses on the light and euphoric. TVR seems wracked and disturbed while AFY responds by being carefree and more lighthearted. If you play TVR and AFY back to back it's like a journey. I love listening to both albums. I get so many things from them. Her albums are like aural diaries. [This message was edited Wed Jul 9 8:48:03 PDT 2003 by JANFAN4L] | |

"Better Days" is a classic Janet song. It seems like she's finally come to terms with her broken, bitter past and determined to make a new life for herself. It's the best on "All for You," and that's saying a lot. | |
