The Reasn – “Better”

0

Alt-pop artist The Reasn, is all about soul. The singer from Colombia, MO strives for timeless music by emulating legendary pop styles and artists with his own twist, giving you every reason to check out The Reasn. Recently, Al’Michael Nelson opened up about his songwriting and the backstory behind his hit, “Better.” A SoundCloud stream of the track is also available below.

Behind The Song:
I wrote this song from personal experience. It’s something I’m going through and trying to change. My inspiration generally comes from real life issues. I got together with talented producer Neff-U and brought it to life in the studio. It started with a dope piano melody and Neff-U built out the track with the grittiness and musicality it needed. My lyrics and melodies came naturally from that.

The song deals with the twisted dynamic of a relationship, where both our insecurities cause us to intentionally hurt each other. Like the lyric says, “It makes sick that hurting my significant other makes me feel better.” We both say and do things we’re not proud of in a relationship and things sometimes get out of control when love is involved.

Lyrics

I’m feeling 25 miles past giving up

Everything that I do is not good enough

And you tell me that you really don’t give a fuck

But you cry when I say I’m falling out of love

You and I can’t see eye to eye

Even when you screamin in my face

You walk away with nothing left to say

Why does it make me feel like this

It makes me sick that hurting you

Makes me feel better, better

It makes me sick that hurting you

Makes me feel better, better

I can’t drink my way through this

Drugs didn’t make me do this

loving you made me foolish, foolish

It makes me sick that hurting you

Makes me feel better

I call your phone girl, why you not picking up

Cuz I feel like I really haven’t said enough

I know you sitting there feeling all super tough

Guess that means that I haven’t made you hurt enough

 Apologize 20 million times

Just to get close to you

You think it’s done

It’s really just begun

Of what I’m bout to put you through

 It makes me sick that hurting you

Makes me feel better, better

It makes me sick that hurting you

Makes me feel better, better

I can’t drink my way through this

Drugs didn’t make me do this

loving you made me foolish, foolish

It makes me sick that hurting you

Makes me feel better

Girl you’re my only drug

You get me so high

But the lows are so low, ohhhh

Your tears are my fix

Man this some sick shit

But the things you do

Make me act like this

yeahhhh

 It makes me sick that hurting you

Makes me feel better, better

It makes me sick that hurting you

Makes me feel better, better

I can’t drink my way through this

Drugs didn’t make me do this

loving you made me foolish, foolish

It makes me sick that hurting you

Makes me feel better
