Raheem D - Good Days (Lyric Video)

'Good Days' is my first original song, it's produced by Strehlow and written by myself, Raheem D. 'Good Days' was written in late 2021 during lockdown when I was struggling with seasonal depression. I had witnessed my friends and family's mental health struggle during this period and I wanted to create a song that promoted hope. It's been a tough few years but I have hope for the good days! I was inspired by Aaliyah, Joe, and Troye Sivan whilst writing and recording since I admire their musicality. It has a Lo-Fi yet, 2000's R&B sound that's very breezy and calming. I see it as a smooth entrance into my debut. I'm excited to release more original tracks for you all, this is only the beginning! I'd love to know your thoughts in the comments.
The song is free to stream on KZbin and SoundCloud and I'll offer a free download on my website:

Lyrics:
Chorus:
Come and take a ride with me, ride with me,
Come enjoy the vibe ya see,
There’s hope for the good days yeah,
We all work for the good days, yeah,
So come and take a ride with me, ride with me,
Come enjoy the vibe ya see,
There’s hope for the good days yeah,
We all work for the good days,
Verse 1:
Dear beloved it’s been onerous so hard on us we’re unlike our ways,
Talking about your hobbies your eyes seem so hollow and glazed,
Relationship strays,
Can’t recall the last time we kicked it,
I ask to hang I feel like your responses are cryptic,
What’s Mary Poppin’? You’ve been out your bag for so long
I’d call you Ariel the way you’ve lost your voice and your song,
I know we’re locked down, I hope it doesn’t last forever,
I notice dark clouds upon you through the harshest weather
But look,
I have love for you,
Remember that I told you that, yeah I told you that
No matter what you do,
You know I’ll always have your back, always have your back,
You are not alone; we both have to be strong,
The powers in your hands change your life and take a stand,
I see you’re down, best believe I understand, hop in and just
Chorus:
Come and take a ride with me, ride with me,
Come enjoy the vibe ya see,
There’s hope for the good days yeah,
We all work for the good days, yeah,
So come and take a ride with me, ride with me,
Come enjoy the vibe ya see,
There’s hope for the good days yeah,
We all work for the good days,
Verse 2:
And I agree I’m so done working for the top from 9 to 5,
They don’t appreciate the workers who acquire the drive,
Serotonin levels falter with no warmth as a crutch,
It’s why I message now and then because I miss you much,
I miss your touch, I hope you know I really adore ya,
And texts can’t compare with your magnetic aura,
Isolation as an introvert is seen as a haven,
But alone can feel the best until the loneliness caves in
I have love for you,
Remember that you told me that, yeah you told me that
No matter what you do
I know you’ll always have my back, always have my back,
You are not alone, we both have to be strong,
Conversation is the key to no need wonder what would be,
If all else fails just know you got a friend in me, forreal so just,
Chorus:
Come and take a ride with me, ride with me,
Come enjoy the vibe ya see,
There’s hope for the good days yeah,
We all work for the good days, yeah,
So come and take a ride with me, ride with me,
Come enjoy the vibe ya see,
There’s hope for the good days yeah,
We all work for the good days,
Bridge:
If you’re in the dark and you, feel alone,
Just know that I can be on the end of the phone,
If you’re feeling down hop in, for a ride,
We can sing songs like the old times old times,
X2
Chorus:
Come and take a ride with me, ride with me,
Come enjoy the vibe ya see,
There’s hope for the good days yeah,
We all work for the good days, yeah,
So come and take a ride with me, ride with me,
Come enjoy the vibe ya see,
There’s hope for the good days yeah,
We all work for the good days,

[@tedtan6449]

its a really beautiful song. i would guess a song thats written from the " depths". It is written, Out of the abundance of the Heart, the mouth SPEAKS. It just in the form of this song.

[@jeongpark2697]

good song🎉🎉🎉

[@Artur-Itas]

It's a nice summer bop. Little changes for the remix. 1) Opening and closing falsetto. 2) A sprinkle of electric/bass guitar 🎸 riffs in the mid section and closing. 3) A female rapper one chorus, a few simple bars. And it's money in the bank 🏦.

[@AdamusicVideos]
