What comes is better than what came before

Artist- Cat Power
Song of the day- I found a reason

I've been obsessed with this song since I heard it on "V for Vendetta" and am usually blown away by Cat Power in general but I just listened to the original version of today's song by the Velvet Underground and I couldn't believe it. Power somehow managed to make a completely original song out of this cover and total change the feel of it using the same wording. There's something so beautiful, so spiritual about the version and yet somehow still heartbreaking. It's that longing mixed with hope but sung like you sadly already know how it will end. And I have no idea how can articulate so much in so simple a tune. But when I'm in a static state longing to feel something I know I'll find it in Cat Power, and can't seem to escape it in this song. If you're longing for some longing, this one's for you.



Oh I do believe
In all the things you see
What comes is better than what came before
And you'd better come come, come come to me
Better come come, come come to me
Better run, run run, run run to me
Better come

Oh I do believe
In all the things you see
What comes is better than what came before

And you'd better run run, run run to me
Better run, run run, run run to me
Better come, come come, come come to me
You'd better run
