The Brighter Days

By TheErinWaterShow on January 30, 2026 11:29 pm

Week 5/Song 4 - Working on guitar and vocals plus getting more comfortable with using a DAW.

Lyrics:
I close my eyes.
Think of a brighter day.
When this pain just goes away.

I dream about
a time gone by
when everything feels, oh so right.

And now I’m older
and I’m looking for my own way.
And though I’m older
I’ll keep searching for the brighter days.

Nostalgia comes,
bittersweet memories
deluding the fears the future brings.

My heart it warms
from days gone by
when love became a lasting light.

And now I’m older
and l’m looking for my own way.
And though I’m older
I’ll keep searching for the brighter days.

Great job! The chorus is so big and awesome and I love what you did with it.

So pretty and sweet!

that was great!  i wanted more!

Soothing vibe!

Excellent song and catchy chorus.  Well done!

Ooh I love your voice. The chorus is so powerful, melodically, vocally, and lyrically. Great job! This is well done all around.

really enjoyed this!

Wonderful voice - the chorus of this just soars….it speaks to me in no small way. Looking forward to more heart

your singing is great! nice use of dynamics, soft and loud singing at the right time. and the guitar playing is good too, does the trick and is pretty steady!

you could probably bring the vocals a bit louder in the mix, or use a compressor on both to gel it together with the guitar. I can also hear maybe a different take with a different character on the vocals from halfway, maybe a bit different mic placement on a second take...? no biggie, but the second one to me sounds a bit better just in terms of volume! anyway good job, great song, and I really resonate with the message! keep em coming! smile

Nostalgia comes,
bittersweet memories
deluding the fears the future brings.

Very pleasant.

Great songwriting and performance! I thought it was well recorded, sounds very clean, and yeah whatever mic placement you used for the second half vocals made them come through a little stronger. It's like we are witnessing you growing and improving within a single weekly beat, pretty impressive when you think about it!
