From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Better Now" is a 2004 song by the American alternative rock band Collective Soul, released on their 2004 album, Youth. It was written by singer/guitarist Ed Roland and producer Dexter Green.
The coda features a saxophone solo. In concert, this is replaced with a guitar solo. The radio edit version also includes a guitar solo. Also unusual for a rock song, the bass doesn't come in until the first chorus, and plays prominant alternating root / fifth quarter notes. The song is also well-known for its electric guitar riff, which has a very similar sound to AC/DC.
[edit] Trivia
- The Blue Chip Casino in Michigan City, Indiana uses the song in recent TV and Radio Ads.
- The Kellogg Company used it in an ad for its Special K cereal, "feeling better now" in this instance being used to denote a woman's feeling healthier after going on their "Special K diet" (she is seen trying on dresses.)
