“Better Now” by Carrie Ryan is one of the most heartbreaking but beautiful songs you will ever listen to. It has a soft, vulnerable, and deep tune that will definitely bring you to tears. The raw emotions displayed in that song, mixed with the sad and bittersweet feeling and vibe makes you wish that it was longer.
The lyrical composition is a nothing short of perfect. Carrie Ryan has displayed a depth of emotions that many of us are afraid to display. The main lyrics of the song saying “Would you believe me if I said that I was better now?” breaks your heart into a million pieces.
The song explores the themes of heartbreak and how sometimes it’s difficult to let people go. Even after a lot of time has passed, you still think of your past and sometimes even wished that you would have never met that person. This is a feeling that most of us can relate to.
Heartbreak is a difficult and painful feeling in one’s life and we all find comfort in small and relatable things during that phase. Carrie Ryan has captured that essence perfectly in this song. This is the song that you cry yourself to sleep to in a hard phase of your life. Carrie’s beautiful vocals combined with the lyrics and the soft musical composition feel personal and intimate. It feels like a warm embrace on a cold night.
Overall the song is a masterpiece that is beautifully curated to pull at your hearts strings and makes you feel comforted and heard. It is definitely a must listen and something that you come back to again and again.
