Songs with a meaning

Got introduced to Glen Campbell “A better place” by listening to Kvegpels, Kristopher Schau talked about Campbell and this song in particular. While listening to it, remember that Campbell has alzheimer.

I’ve tried and I have failed, Lord
I’ve won and I have lost
I’ve lived and I have loved, Lord
Some times, at such a cost

[Chorus:]
One thing I know
The world’s been good to me
A better place, awaits you’ll see

Some days I’m so confused, Lord
My past gets in my way
I need the ones I love, Lord
More and more each day

Oooh, a better place.

Then, Campbell has been playing with many well known artists such as Elvis, Beach Boys and off course Johnny Cash

Which leads me on to Cash and his fantastic cover of Hurt, the song by Nine Inch Nails
