about
Better With You is the third single from the forthcoming album Here Comes The Actual Band. As such, you can have it now for free if you sign up to the mailing list - & buy the album when it comes out on 29th May!
Recorded pretty much as live, with all of the Actual Band playing together in the same room. Many of the vocals were overdubbed and an acoustic guitar was added, but otherwise it's all one take, guitar solo and all.
"What's it about, though?" - well... it was an image, in my head, of a couple of very messy people stumbling out of a house and into a car, to go to a wedding that they really should not have been going to....
lyrics
Get back in the car, we're going out
I don't care if they throw us both out
You've got my back and I've got your shoes, oh yeah
When I said I hate weddings I meant
I hate seeing the people who meant
Something to me mean something to someone else
No I promise I won't make a scene
I won't throw my drink over the queen
I'll show her that I'm better with you, oh yeah
It's much better (better), better with you
It's much better (better), better with you
It's much better (better), better with you
So we're coming up now
We're coming up to the part of the song
Where we're gonna find out
What's really going down
No I'm sorry, I don't wanna dance
It just hurts to know I missed my chance
She was the one I wanted, you see
But
Despite that
I'm gonna pretend
It's much better (better), better with you
It's much better (better), better with you
It's much better (better), better with you
Better with you (better)
Better with you
Better with you (better)
Oh it's better with you
Better (better)
Better (better)
Better (better)
Better (better)
Better (better)
Better (better)
Better (better)
Better (better)
Better better better
Better better better
Better with you!

The renditions of these songs are so beautiful and raw. While I love the originals, these stripped down versions show so much feeling from Laura and it just pierces your soul. Love love love. Thanks! supashoppa
