Love You Better

John de Sohn's 'Love You Better' is a poignant exploration of love, regret, and the desire for redemption. The song delves into the complexities of a relationship that has seen its fair share of ups and downs, encapsulated in the lines 'Lovers, strangers / Heart breaks, changes / Every day things / Been through it all.' These lyrics paint a vivid picture of a couple who have experienced both the mundane and the extraordinary together, yet find themselves at a crossroads.

The narrative takes a dramatic turn when the singer is awakened in the middle of the night, sensing that something is amiss. The emotional weight of this moment is captured in the lines 'You woke me up in the middle of night / I knew that something wasn't right / By the look in your eyes.' This moment of realization is a catalyst for the singer's desperate plea to salvage the relationship. The chorus, with its repeated entreaty 'So won't you stay? / Oh baby stay the night / I know I'll make things right,' underscores the urgency and sincerity of the singer's desire to make amends and 'love you better.'

The song also touches on themes of forgiveness and the importance of focusing on the present rather than dwelling on past mistakes. The lines 'So forgive, forget / Focus on me / And know that darling / I'm still longing for your love' highlight the singer's hope for a fresh start. This plea for another chance is not just about rekindling romance but also about acknowledging past errors and committing to change. John de Sohn's emotive delivery and the song's heartfelt lyrics make 'Love You Better' a compelling narrative of love's resilience and the human capacity for growth and redemption.
