There's no need for introductions No dark corridors or things You won't find your fortune You might find some pain I wanna lie, lie together Feels like our last embrace In a world full of confusion Yeah, the human race But I'd rather be here than be anywhere Is there anywhere better than here? You know these feelings I've found they are oh so rare Is there anywhere better than here? Sometimes life seems to tear us apart I don't wanna let you go Sometimes these feeling's hidden I start to cry 'cause I won't ever let you go We're multiplying Always living under some cloud Always on the eve of destruction Make you wanna scream out loud And as I watch the birds soar My lies in which you spun Oh mama, mama why I'm still crying? Oh, another day is come 'Cause I'd rather be here than be anywhere Is there anywhere better than here? You know these feelings I've found they are oh so rare Is there anywhere better than here? Sometimes life seems to tear us apart Don't wanna let you go Sometimes these feeling's hidden I start to cry 'cause I won't ever let you go But I'd rather be here than be anywhere Is there anywhere better than here?

[@samuelelbala]

I love this song, is more deep than it looks for me, a song that if you are depressed, you can feel how the lyrics describe what are you feeling and that thought of ''I guess better be here than anywhere'' that keeps you pushing a bit more and don't do something stupid. The magic of this song is that, when you pass that depression status is when you really understand the meaning of the song. At least for me is about a "happy" acceptation of what is life, sometimes you are in deep shit, and some others you are full of joy. Is a song that makes you be greatfull for being human "you know this feelings I have found they are all so rare, is there anywhere better than here?" If we wouldn't have bad moments, we wouldn't enjoy the good ones.

А мне с первой прослушки не зашла. Знацца нужно переслушать неск раз. На днях наткнулся на эту группу. Ещё один Оазис походу. Те песни, где они конкретно подражают Роллингам или Битлам очень нравятся, а где идёт немелодичный занудный гранж то чтот не катит. Потому Оазис толком и не слушал, так отдельные песни. А у Верве сходу офигел от песен Биттер симфони и Сонет. Очень красивые песни. Вот бы все были такого уровня. Физиономия интересная, собирательный образ разных музыкантов. Наиболее напоминает Харрисона, но что то есть от Джаггера и от Леннона.
