    I had the privilege to play this for my grandma and told her this was my song for her before she passed away. My grandma had a beautiful voice just like Ms. Dianne Reeves. I will always cherish that memory and many more with her. This song means even more to me now that she's gone. RIP Georgia Mae Walker I will love you always

    Waking up on the weekends as a kid and hearing my momma play this while she was cleaning now I’m 24 with Better Days tatted on my arm and finally came home after 6 years and we sang this together at her 60th b day. Definitely a moment I’ll hold on to forever.

      Good morning, I have been listening to this song for over twenty years. After reading your comment about your mother made me think of mines. And The words to this song finally made sense. 😭😭😭😭. See I lost my mom 8 years ago with over forty other relatives, including siblings and nephews and nieces. Your words touched my soul. Thank you...

      @@sandramerritt1013 I read your comment, had to read it a few times to make sure I was understanding correctly. My heart goes out to you pertaining to your family. And I myself, in my younger years heard this sound repeatedly in my house. But in my adulthood, maybe 20 years ago, I too , actually listened to the words and received enlightenment. Been years since I last heard this song, yet it randomly popped into my head , which lead me here to listen. This song grabs your mind, your heart and your soul. Brings out emotions. Anyway, really just wanted to offer my sincere condolences to you for your losses.

My wife and I had the opportunity to take my mother to see Ms Reeves in concert about 10 years ago, she had stage-side seating and loved every moment. And now, my mother’s flying, sliding, and gliding in better days. All power to you Mommy. ❤️ Always ~ The Dude…

Why would she no longer perform this song. Elaborate on why and how you got this information. Other-wise, it's non-sensical!!!! 👎😡🐂💩🐑🗑

      +Alice Snow, The first time I heard this song was when I saw her perform live at Dimitriou's Jazz Alley in Seattle (circa 1991), and I was a blubbering mess in front of a group of new friends. Aside from the message of the song, her voice is just so emotionally powerful. It was a dangerous combination. :-) If ever you have the opportunity to see her in concert, DO IT. I've seen her a couple times since that first show, and she's simply amazing.

      Kelly Cox Semple​. Yes Kelly, I always loved this song "Better Days" .However, I did not know that Ms.Reeves was such an awesome Jazz Singer. Her tribute song to Duke Ellington " I got it bad" is, unbelievable. If you haven't checked it out, please do . It's here on TH-cam. MY mom and I was wondering if there would ever be a jazz singer, with the style and ability to fill the shoes of the two Greatest jazz performers,artist. ELLA FITZGERALD and SARAH VAUGHAN, who ever grabed a mic and recorded and I am so thrilled to know , that she has been here for a while , but very under rated in the music industry, because the powers that be would rather put the spotlight on pure garbage , like Beyonce ,Rihanna and Nikki M. People who in my opinion that help destroy the morality of a generation. But that's another story. The people who I just mentioned are not even in the same League as DIANNE REEVES....PEACE

    My mother passed away November 25th 2020... This was her favorite song! She listened to this when her mother died. Before my mother passed I would ask her "Ma how are you gonna let me know you around when you're gone?" She said.. "anyway I can". When I hopped in the car with my friend.. This song started playing instantly on the radio...Ma I know you are here! I love you girl!!! 4 EVA and Always!

    I've always loved this song, but every time I hear it, it brings back memories and tears. I think about my grandmother and mother who are no longer with me. Although there is still hurt, the good times are what I focus on. Still some very beautiful memories 😊

    My mom used to sing this in the karaoke back in the days and i would just be there trying to make sense of the lyrics because it almost felt like story telling. Fast forward to this day, i now fully understand what the lyrics meant; and it was right: “she said all the things you ask you will know someday, but you have got to live in a patient way. God pust us here by fate, and by fate that means BETTER DAYS.”
    After 26 years, looking back, everything makes sense now. This was really a core memory unlocked.

    This song is like a gigantic hug. I remember all the stories my grandmother would tell about her childhood. She endured so much as a black woman. She was our rock, so strong when she needed to be yet the perfect lady,patient, and kind. Yet if you disrespected her, she could read you and never use a curse word. Excellent wife, mother, and grandmother. When I'm feeling low, I draw from her and mom's strength, and I know I will make it. It's in the DNA if they made it, so will the woman in our family. Thanks for loving us so much. Rest in Peace!

    I remember listening to Rickey Smiley Morning Show he played this song as the morning inspiration. I hadn’t heard it since I was a child. Didn’t really understand the words back then. But now I do. He was crying and so was I because I just lost my great grandmother. She taught me so much and I miss her dearly. Grandmothers are truly a blessing from God.
