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
❤️❤️❤️Same here. I played it for my Granny and she quietly listened, while nodding to the song. And she passed, SPRING 2020. I cry whenever I hear this song. But, since Granny approved of the song. I have to love it. I miss her so much!
+Vangie Griffin My condolesences, it's not easy dealing with the loss of any family member. We got to carry on throught the night in our lives to get to better days. Hang in there!
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.
I had to play this song the day my grandmother passed at the Peppermint Lounge in NJ. People said it was the best they ever heard me play even though I cried through the entire song.
I heard this song @ a play at the Black Ensemble “Grandma Jukebox” by Michelle Renee Bester and did it bring back memories that I’m resting on now. I miss my Ga-momma
Oh no! She is not unsung. She is still making jazz albums. This song crossed over to the r and b charts back in the late 80's but I assure you she is still making incredible music. Check out her albums.
Just cuz she's still active doesn't mean everyone knows of her. She's not as famous as she should be. Unsung doesn't mean retired artist, it means under-rated / under appreciated. Why would she no longer perform this song. Elaborate on why and how you got this information. Other-wise, it's non-sensical!!!! 👎😡🐂💩🐑🗑
I lost my dear mother just a few weeks ago. She loved this song and adored Ms Reeves as an artist. 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…
Sorry for your lost God bless you and your family stay strong for your mom she is in a better place I lost my mom also but the spirit never dies keep your head up
+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 CZcams. 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
One day my grandmother came into the kitchen and gave me a ruby and diamond gold heart. I tried not to take it, I knew what she was doing. R.I.P Charlotte A. Foster. I love and miss you. Wet face now. I tried to see if I could listen to this without crying.
Dianne SANG this song! It came out shortly after my maternal grandmother made her heavenly transition. My paternal grandmother passed less than two years earlier. It was like this song was written especially for both of them. Continue to rest in paradise Pearl Gilmore Spears and Annie Hardy Wright.
A real old school song that makes you reminisce about the love and strength of a real mother!...... this song goes out to the real mothers in their child's life.... such a beautiful song!
My son dedicated this song to me on the radio when he was just a young man; it's not just about grandmothers but those who have that grandmotherly Spirit of love
And we're still crying nearing the end of 2022! I always appreciated my abuelita but it wasn't until I didn't have her here flesh here in the present and I matured that I realized how much of an influence she was on me. She is eternal life because I now pass those lessons on to my granddaughter who will hopefully pass them to hers.
Reminds me of my grandma (my father's mom). She never knew how her loved affected me. She taught. Ppl who hurt, hurt ppl. Don't become a hurt person. Become a loving person. Despite the hurts.
When you REALLY LOVE, the tears will flow but, they are of pride, joy and of a GREAT LOVE that the memories RESTORE of your loved one! For me ...that was today for my mom!
I love this song becuz my grandma was my best friend. She would answer all my question no matter what it was she was there for me.....Everything she ever told me is still with me today and am 45yrs old now I lost her when I was 21....love you grandma even when thing get hard she is right there with me her and my mom are together in heaven....living better days
I wanna shout to the whole world that I have the Greatest Grandma in the whole wide world.I love You So Much Lola Daring!!!!!!! I dedicate this song to her.
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 😊
Long live Mrs. Shirley Evangeline Bowen Bryant… my grandmother who raised me since I was 7 months old.. 7/3/36-6/24/21… never left me hanging… gave me more love than I could ever imagined… I love you momma
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.
I cry every time thinking of my grandma. OMG. I made the mistake and played this while driving on the parkway and almost crashed I was crying so bad. :( Grandma's are such special people. If you are blessed to still have yours, cherish her.
This performer, this song has the ability of reducing me to tears each and every time I listen to it. I would like nothing more that to hug Ms Dianne Reeves and thank her for connecting me to feeling that I've never felt before. Allen Kimble
I can't wait to see my Grandma on thee other side she passed away at 97 years old in 2021 and this song reminds me so much of what she use to tell me be patient R.I.P.Grandma...
What a powerful message in SONG. . . The sage advice I received from my mother and great grandmother rings so TRUE! This song reflects those sentiments!
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!
Thank you my sister , That was my Grandmother. Lord knows I miss her and wish it didn't take me so long realize what She was saying to me. 1 Love ...... Always
there is not one person on this planet who had a great relationship with there mom or grandmother, who cant relate to this song. such a heart felt song....ill tell you what it is... when you here this song it takes you right back to that very sad day when they passed and you feel that sad heaviness in your heart. i miss my mom so much she was a great lady.
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!
Heard a snippet of this on Rickey Smiley show this morning, I’ve already played it about 5 times. 😢❤️ Sent it to my family. So many memories of our mother and grandmother 🙏🏽🕊
I heard it to this morning, I cried all the way to work . I went on CZcams and played it all day today. You right it bring back so many memories. Lost my Mom coming up on two year in July. 😭She is resting with her Mom in Heaven.
Me too! I cried like a baby. Nothing like a grandma's love..... I lost my grandmother in 2019. Although I miss her so, thankful that I had her in my life well into my 40's. ❤️
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.
My mommy made me listen to this song when I was a lil girl.....here I am an adult with my own children and I finally understand the meaning. Rest well mommy
Saw Dianne Reeves two weekends ago at Silver Spring, MD jazz festival and she HAD to sing this song🎶🎶🎶🎶 RIP Mama, Grandma, Aunt Clara and Aunt Mary. Miss you all, ❤️you each.
I dedicate this song to Janie Ellen Spencer, (1901 - 1989). Grandma, I have missed you every day since God called you home. I hope you know that I am still using the lessons you taught me to get through life. You were truly an angel and I pray you are at peace. I love you and will see you again on the other side of the moon. R.I.H. I love you.

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.
Still touched. It's 2023. What a song!
My mommy made me listen to this song when I was a lil girl.....here I am an adult with my own children and I finally understand the meaning. Rest well mommy
dedicate this song to my Grandma :-(
I seriously love this song
This has always been my favorite song and still is right now to this day
I was introduced to this song by someone many years ago and I can't thank them enough ! Truly blessed ❤❤❤
That ol good Quiet Storm!!! Classic!!!!

Saw Dianne Reeves two weekends ago at Silver Spring, MD jazz festival and she HAD to sing this song🎶🎶🎶🎶
RIP Mama, Grandma, Aunt Clara and Aunt Mary. Miss you all,
❤️you each.
I dedicate this song to Janie Ellen Spencer, (1901 - 1989). Grandma, I have missed you every day since God called you home. I hope you know that I am still using the lessons you taught me to get through life. You were truly an angel and I pray you are at peace. I love you and will see you again on the other side of the moon. R.I.H. I love you.
This song keeps me grounded. Nothing in life that is of value comes easy. The message in this song is so true and powerful.
