When I was young, I was vibing to this song without understanding the lyrics. Years later, I understood that it was about a grandma giving advise to her grandchild. I appreciated the song even more.
Please be sad no more. This is a temporary world. I was devastated and lost last 2013 when 3 of my dear beloved elders departed from this world. The one who left is at PEACE (equates with rested, fulfilled, happy, no more pain) and the one who was left behind is saddened, BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT NONE OF THE PEOPLE WE LOVE AND WHO LOVED US DOESN'T WISH US SADNESS. May your heart be filled with comfort and have a great great days ahead.
I listened to this before but her version made me realize its about grandma and I realized my grandmas was suppose to have her birthday 4 days from now. It made me cry i love her version.
I've been listening to this song since i was 12 or 13.. , I'm 31 now and one of my aunt's favourite song she made me love jazz and blues,.. REST IN PARADISE aunty i miss you...
I'm really surprised so few Americans are familiar with this Dianne Reeves' jazz anthemn Better Days. It was a big hit in the Philippines in the early 90s.
I remember reading your post Matthias about your grandma’s recent passing…my condolences. ❤️What a great song to react to, though, as it reminds us of lessons and words of wisdom from our grandmothers. Gigi did an excellent job here. You must react next to her recent cover of Mariah’s “Butterfly”. Last month, Gigi and her band opened their livestream with “Butterfly” that they dedicated to 2 of their friends who recently passed away.❤️
Gigi are wow awesome, incredible, amazing, stunning, heartbreaking, outstanding, great belter, beautiful talented singer, a fantastic style of singing. Your no#1 a champion to our hearts for making us so happy to hear your sweet voice & songs covers & original songs. Gigi De Lana & GG Vibes Band congratulations❤️
She (Gigi) and Nicole Scherzinger almost have the same tone and projections of singing. I know I'm not the only one that can hear it. I love it though. 💜😂
Man, I'm glad you got the gist of this song. Others I've heard react to this just touched on Gigi's singing and not really listened to the song. Just like you cried, I cried also, but uncontrollably. The funny thing is I don't know why I did. I think it was because the story was sad yet uplifting like you said, because through faith and patience we will see Better Days. You should hear Dianne Reeves (it's her song) sing it for a different perspective.
Mathias, pls do a reaction of the Adele medley performed by past contestants of the popular TNT singing competition in Manila. it's the same show the TNT boys became famous for. That medley was done by finalists of that TNT show. Gigi was one of them, that performance will blow you away! Love your reactions always!
Gigi fully understands the spirit in which a song was written and conveys that spirit in her covers. Often better than the original. She is looking for a composer to help write original material. I can’t wait.
This was big hit back in the day!!! Dianne Reeves killed it. This young lady did a great job too!

This made me teary eyes too. I just lost my grandma a few months ago. The way she sang this reminded me of my Lola. 😔❤️❤️❤️
