Best of Times (Acoustic)

from Old Friends EP by Mellodose

/

about

"Best of Times" was a track that was saved by an iPhone voice memo!

I made the original demo on a computer that ultimately crashed and burned. Before the crash, I "tracked" a voice memo of me rapping along while playing the beat out of my computer speakers. Without this voice memo, the song would've disappeared. Needless to say, this was the roughest demo I brought to Roots of a Rebellion when we were shopping our individual songs to each other for the Shapes of a Soul record.

I wrote this song with a purposeful intention to manifest the best of times. I can assure you we had (and are still having) them.

lyrics

VERSE
Passion is the thing that defines you,
Focus your energy to drive through,
The ups and downs,
The good’ll come around,
Perennial growth is inside you,
Believe in every moment and decide it,
With consideration of what is highest,
Of value to the whole,
A vision of the goal,
To balance it all so that light wins.

CHORUS
It was the best of times,
It was the worst of times,
It was the worst of times,
It was the best,
Truth is it’s all in your mind,
Life's exactly what you design,
It was the worst of times,
It was the best of times,
It was the best of times,
It was the worst,
Truth is it’s all in your mind.
Life's exactly what you design.

VERSE
Passion is the thing that defines you,
Focus your energy to drive through,
The ups and downs,
The good’ll come around,
Perennial growth is inside you,
Believe in every moment and decide it,
With consideration of what is highest,
Of value to the whole,
A vision of the goal,
To balance it all so that light wins,
Lightning striking every moment,
Live your life upon your toes,
Be ready for everything you ever wanted.
Lightning striking every moment,
Live your life upon your toes,
Be ready for everything you ever wanted,
Passion is the thing that defines you,
Focus your energy to drive through,
The ups and downs,
The good’ll come around,
Perennial growth is inside you,
Believe in every moment and decide it,
With consideration of what is highest,
Of value to the whole,
A vision of the goal,
To balance it all so that light wins.

CHORUS
It was the best of times,
It was the worst of times,
It was the best of times,
It was the worst,
Truth is it’s all in your mind,
Life's exactly what you design,
It was the best of times,
It was the best of times,
It was the best of times,
It was the best,
Truth is it’s all in your mind,
Life's exactly what you design,
It was the best,
It was the best,
It was the best,
It was the best,
It was the best.
