+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!
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!
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!
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!!!! 👎😡🐂💩🐑🗑
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.
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
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
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
Rest in Heaven Grandma Alfreda! You passed away when I was 3 years old at home while you were babysitting me. My mother said this was your favorite song! I hope when I have grandkids, they think of me as I do you. Love you forever...until we meet again
+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 RUclips. 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
wow 48 thumbs down they must not have good grandma's. I just listened to this song today and I reminsce hard about mine, what a gem. Even her mom my great-grandma was so special and gave so much love and tools for us to be women.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
My mother used to love this song. RIP I remember when somebody performed it on the Robert Townsend special when I was a kid it might have been this woman
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
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!
This song makes me wish I had a grandmother I'm my life . One. died before I was born and the other when I was weeks before my 2nd birthday. Oh how I wished!!!!
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
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 😊
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.
Ms.Reeves, was right on!! To sing about GRANDMA, My Grandma, was so nice, kind, kept a neat clean house, played baseball, jumped rope, with us, took us to church, she didn't take "No Mess" from anybody, and you couldn't beat her "LOUISIANA COOKING" She lived to be 100yrs old. She was born; May 25, 1912, she died October10, 2012... I TRULLY LOVE GRANDMA!!!!!💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
TODAY WHERE ARE THE GRANDMOTHERS SAVE OUR CHILDREN GIVE THEM A HUG A KISS TELL THEM YOU LOVE THEM ❤❤TO DAY IS MY GRANDMOTHER BIRTHDAY SHE STILL HOLDING ME THANKYOU GRAND MOM❤❤
I was raised by my mom and grandmother whom I called Nana. Nana passed away in a nursing home in 1991. We regretted having to put her there but at the time she needed someone to be with her 24-7. Anytime I play this song I make sure to be alone because I get choked up and tears well up in my eyes l❤
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...
My granny use to sing this to me. I would alway sing the part about being patient. (I was an impatient child) Never really really listen to the words. Now the she has her wings, I listen to this song for the first time in years. I really listened. I realize this song reminded her of our relationship. I asked 20 million questions. An she’d find an answer to everything. Thank you for blessing us with this song. It means a lot to me.
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.
When i was 11yrs old this song became my Nana's and I anthem. A month ago i buried her at the age of 89. I know it was a blessing to have her that long. It doesn't take away the pain and hurt of losing her. I listen to this song every night before I go to bed.
Oooh weee….😢😢😢this song tears me up but definitely brings back memories of my great grandmother….Whewwww my heart ♥️ is full and missing her still after 20yrs
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
My Grandma just passed yesterday, and no song represents and embodies her memory like this one. Now, she's FLYING, and SLIDING, and GLIDING In Better Days!
I just lost my grandmother Dec 10th at 90 what a life she lived this song is so beautiful grandma's are such a blessing if you still have yours call her let her know you live her an all her wisdom remember she paved the way for all of us 🙏 R.I.P. grandma I'll forever miss you till we meet again 😪
I cannot listen to this song without crying! My Grandmother was such a beautiful person. Love her and miss her. Loss my mom 2016 and this song remind me of her too. Thanks for the awesome memories Dianne Reeves and I know there'll be better days...
How did she even sing this song, soon as the beat drops I start balling uncontrollably!!!! I'm still so very blessed to have my one and only grandmother at 90+ beautiful years and she still has her right mind and able to do everything for herself, but the thought alone just frightens & sadden me to a point that's unbearable!!! I love you my grandma Isabella B.....more than you'll ever know!!!! You mean the world to me....Thank you Lord for EVERY moment, because these blessed moments are truly one of your greatest blessing to our entire family!❤❤❤❤❤
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.
My mother. Hit so hard, to this day I cannot remember how long it's been. Still feels like last year
Slowly she rocked, looking half asleep.
Grandma yawned as she stretched, then she started to speak...
❤I miss you Grandma Leila 9/27/15 - 2/10/98

My Grandma, was so nice, kind, kept a neat clean house, played baseball, jumped rope, with us, took us to church, she didn't take "No Mess" from anybody, and you couldn't beat her "LOUISIANA COOKING"
She lived to be 100yrs old.

TODAY WHERE ARE THE GRANDMOTHERS SAVE OUR CHILDREN GIVE THEM A HUG A KISS TELL THEM YOU LOVE THEM ❤❤TO DAY IS MY GRANDMOTHER BIRTHDAY SHE STILL HOLDING ME THANKYOU GRAND MOM❤❤
THIS IS A VERY INSIGHTFUL SONG.!!!
I was raised by my mom and grandmother whom I called Nana. Nana passed away in a nursing home in 1991. We regretted having to put her there but at the time she needed someone to be with her 24-7.
Anytime I play this song I make sure to be alone because I get choked up and tears well up in my eyes l❤
Omg I remember this song it's soo amazing.

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...
This song always makes me cry.
My granny use to sing this to me. I would alway sing the part about being patient. (I was an impatient child) Never really really listen to the words. Now the she has her wings, I listen to this song for the first time in years. I really listened. I realize this song reminded her of our relationship. I asked 20 million questions. An she’d find an answer to everything. Thank you for blessing us with this song. It means a lot to me.
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.
blessed to have her...

When i was 11yrs old this song became my Nana's and I anthem. A month ago i buried her at the age of 89. I know it was a blessing to have her that long. It doesn't take away the pain and hurt of losing her. I listen to this song every night before I go to bed.

How did she even sing this song, soon as the beat drops I start balling uncontrollably!!!! I'm still so very blessed to have my one and only grandmother at 90+ beautiful years and she still has her right mind and able to do everything for herself, but the thought alone just frightens & sadden me to a point that's unbearable!!! I love you my grandma Isabella B.....more than you'll ever know!!!! You mean the world to me....Thank you Lord for EVERY moment, because these blessed moments are truly one of your greatest blessing to our entire family!❤❤❤❤❤
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 miss you Grandma Rosa Bell. You left me in 1986 when I was 15 years old. Other than God I've never known a love as great as yours.
