about
From Jocelyn Mackenzie's Push remixes, Better (John Mark Nelson Remix) "presented his transformation of this once-humble ukulele singalong into a deeply moving high pop masterpiece...his remix is a colorful, inventive rendition that's both playful and deeply soulful." - Jocelyn Mackenzie.
Better (John Mark Nelson Remix) explores Push in a brand new way.
lyrics
Listen up!
The whole world's in the flux of a fever
sent to search and destroy by the aether —
everyone's either breaking up or breaking down.
Who'd have known
we would both end up smolderingly lonely?
now i 've only one thought when you phone me —
will you heal me from bottom up or top down?
Cause you make it better (better, better, better, better)
You make it better (better, better, better, better)
You make it better (better, better, better, better)
Than it was.
Simmer down!
No one said a thing about forever,
But I need you right now more than ever.
Praise and thanks to the space-time continuum that it's always now.
Cause you make it better (better, better, better, better)
You make it better (better, better, better, better)
You make it better (better, better, better, better)
Than it was.
We have all lost at battle before,
And we can't stand to lose anymore,
But if we don't let go and get vulnerable
Then fear will have won the whole war -
That's no victory that I can afford.
You and I
Have been mutual blessings for ages.
On what staff, with which notes, on what page is
the melody to our song gonna get written down?
Anyhow,
we will come out the other side smiling,
And I'm grateful you're here and you're trying.
Oh, let's go for it, bottom's up and top down.
Cause you make it better

pop homage to healing through radical self love. The fearlessness in her songwriting combined with the orchestral arrangements of each song alchemizes her pain into a poultice, making the album itself a testimony to hope, heartbreak, and what it means to be human....more
