The grass is greener but just as hard to mow...

The John Butler Trio

This young man is from Australia, as you'll hear in his voice. He has a wonderful song that seeped into my heart and soul today. The drummer's necklace - Isn't that similar to the special necklace the little girl wore in Whale Rider? The one that she dove into the water to find, and her grandfather gave it to her once he finally conceded she was the chosen one...

Better Than

All you want is
What you can’t have
And if you just look around man
You see you got magic
So just sit back relax
Enjoy it while you still have it
Don’t look back on life man and only see tragic

Because you could be better than that
Don't let it get the better of you
What could be better than now
Life’s not about what’s better than
You can be better than that
Don't let it get the better of you
What could be better than now
Life’s not about what’s better

All the time while you’re looking away
There are things you can do man
There’s things you can say
To the the ones you’re with
With whom you’re spending your day
Get your gaze off tomorrow
And let come what may

All I know is sometimes things can be hard
But you should know by now
They come and they go
So why, oh why
Do I look to the other side
'Cos I know the grass is greener but
Just as hard to mow

Life’s not about what’s better than.
