1.	Better Now (Live at A&B2 Studios) 03:41	lyrics	buy track
Blood-stained porcelain Crying on my own again I'm better now, I'm better now Once lost, never found Thank God my thoughts don't make a sound Cause I'm better now But the truth won't come from empty lungs But lies will come from everyone Can you hear me now? I'm better now Glass bones, paper skin Just ghosts within I'm fading out, I'm fading out Bruises on white This is the spotlight going down I'm fading out But the truth won't come from empty lungs But lies will come from everyone Can you hear me now? I'm better now That all the world is moving on And everything I've got is gone Can you hear me now? I'm better now Can you hear me, can you hear me Can you hear me screaming? Can you hear me, can you hear me Can you hear me lying? But the truth won't come from empty lungs But lies will come from everyone Can you hear me now? I'm better now That all the world is moving on And everything I've got is gone Can you hear me now? I'm better now

Cáillte gan stró Caoineadh liom fhéin ach Táim níos fearr anois, níos fearr anois Poirceallán fuilsmeartha Buíoch nach bhfuil mo smaointe ós ard Mar táim níos fearr Ní thiocfaidh’n fhírinne ó scamháin loma s'beidh bréaga ag teacht ó achanduine ach creid 's éist, táim níos fearr anois Cnámha ag éirí lag taibhsí ag teacht isteach Táim gabhail in éag, ag gabhail in éag Brúite le féiceáil ach Soilse a bhí ann fágtha amach oh, fagtha amach Ní thiocfaidh’n fhírinne ó scamháin loma s'beidh bréaga ag teacht ó achanduine ach creid 's éist, táim níos fearr anois tá an domhan ag Bogadh ar aghaidh is achan rud ar shiúl ar strae Ach créid is éist, táim níos fearr anois An gcluin tú an gcluin tú mé ag scairtigh an gcluin tú an gcluin tú bréaga mo chroí Ní thiocfaidh’n fhírinne ó scamháin loma s'beidh bréaga ag teacht ó achanduine ach creid 's éist, táim níos fearr anois tá an domhan ag Bogadh ar aghaidh is achan rud ar shiúl ar strae Ach créid is éist, táim níos fearr anois

about

Northern Irish singer-songwriter Janet Devlin has announced the surprise drop of Versions of Better – an EP of alternative versions of her album’s poignant epilogue, “Better Now”. The EP announcement follows her stunning, cinematic music video that accompanies the original studio version. (youtu.be/qNKsy3Nwfzc)

“Versions of Better” consists of six reworkings of ‘Better Now’, each with a carefully curated sound and vision. A stripped-down live rendition, recorded and filmed in A&B2 Studios in London, opens the EP, followed by a mellow trance remix by Germany’s #1 electronica artist, Schiller (aka Christopher von Deylen). Next up, hand-picked string players are expertly arranged by award-winning composer Marco Hertenstein, and the final track before a duo of instrumentals sees Janet keeping her promise to record a Gaelic version of her favourite album track, with “Níos Fearr Anois” – a graceful translation which reconnects to her Irish heritage.

Says Janet of the EP; “Everyone has their own version of what ‘better’ might look like. What I consider ‘better’ may be considered a good day to some but a breakdown to others. Within my own mental health and recovery it could be something as simple as; ringing my therapist, cooking a meal or even just knowing that today it’s okay to stay in bed if the world doesn’t feel safe. Better looks different to all of us – it means that it’s not as bad as it once was.” A fitting sentiment for an intensely chaotic year.
