Dermot Kennedy Better Days

Ireland pop singer Dermot Kennedy’s 2021 was headlined by his July single “Better Days,” which has become one of, if not the, biggest songs in his catalogue to date. The song has been given several remixes to enhance the experience, whether it be an acoustic version, a live version or multiple different mixes of the track.

Now, however, Dermot considered it time to add another artist to the mix. On Jan. 28, Kennedy and EARTHGANG released their better days remix. EARTHGANG, who is currently in the midst of a studio album delay, add a spontaneous, vibrant verse from each of their two members. “Better Days” was originally an optimistic, upbeat pop cut, and EARTHGANG only elevate the vibe of the song.

As melodic hums are from Dermot are placed all over the song, the trio of Johnny Venus, Doctur Dot and Kennedy all sync up to craft an uplifting, catchy track.

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Dermot Kennedy & Johnny Venus]
Better days are comin’ (Yeah), if no one told you
I hate to hear you cryin’, over the phone, dear
For seven years runnin’, you’ve been a soldier

[Pre-Chorus: Dermot Kennedy & Johnny Venus]
But better days are comin’
Better days are comin’ for you (Better days, mm-hmm)
So when the night feels like forever (Mm-hmm)
I’ll remember what you said to me

[Chorus: Dermot Kennedy & Johnny Venus]
I know you’ve been hurtin’
Waitin’ on a train that just won’t come
The rain, it ain’t permanent
And soon we’ll be dancin’ in the sun
We’ll be dancin’ in the sun (Yeah)
And we’ll sing your song together (Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey)
And we’ll sing your song together (Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey)

[Vese 2: Johnny Venus, Doctur Dot & Dermot Kennedy]
Uh, better days are here and I keep tellin’ myself (Okay)
Things are facin’ down and nobody can help
It’s a crazy past, but I grew right through it
Like roses in the concrete, so beautiful (Ooh-ooh, ooh)
Counted out, facin’ doubt, but my head never bowed
I never surrender, I remain contender
When the chances were slimmer and branches were thinner (Ooh-ooh, ooh)
I step out on faith, show myself I’m a winner (Ah-hah, yeah)
When my corner is empty so call friends resent me (Yeah, a-ha)
I slide in the rain with a champion swing (Woo)
Right hooks write the pages of the greatest victories (Boom)
Look what they did to me, they created a monster
(Oh, ah)
Who’ll never be defeated, who’ll never be conquered
So I gotta thank my haters, they the greatest of sponsors (Thanks)
Long as I’m alive know my days gettin’ better
We’ll rise together, we’ll shine forever
(Mm-hmm) Yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Dermot Kennedy & Doctur Dot]
So when the night feels like forever (Mm-hmm)
I’ll remember what you said to me (C’mon)

[Chorus: Dermot Kennedy & Doctur Dot]
I know you’ve been hurtin’ (Is our time ever soothin’?)
Waitin’ on a train that just won’t come (I know you waitin’)
The rain, it ain’t permanent (Is our time ever soothin’? It ain’t forever baby, a-ha)
And soon we’ll be dancin’ in the sun (Yeah)
We’ll be dancin’ in the sun (In the sun, woo)
And we’ll sing your song together (You and me, hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey)
And we’ll sing your song together (Ha, hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey)
And we’ll sing your song together (Yeah, hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey)
And we’ll sing your song together (Better days, hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey)

[Bridge: Dermot Kennedy & Doctur Dot]
Your story’s gonna change, just wait for better days (I know you waitin’)
You’ve seen too much of pain, now you don’t even know (Ha-ha)
That your story’s gonna change, just wait for better days (Better days)
I promise you, I won’t let go

[Chorus: Dermot Kennedy & Doctur Dot]
I know you’ve been hurtin’
Waitin’ on a train that just won’t come (Tired of waitin’)
The rain, it ain’t permanent (Is our time ever soothin’?)
And soon we’ll be dancin’ in the sun (It ain’t forever, baby)
We’ll be dancin’ in the sun (We’ll be dancin’)
And we’ll sing your song together (Woo, hey, hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey)
And we’ll sing your song together (Look at us, ha, hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey)
And we’ll sing your song together (Yeah, we’ll sing your song, hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey, ha)
And we’ll sing your song together (Yeah, we’ll sing your song, hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey, better days on the way, yeah)
