BETTER

Thank you to AfterElton for letting me know about this fantastic song and video by Tom Baxter. I’m not a huge acoustic guitar balad person, but between the words and the all inclusive message that the video sends out, how can you not like it.

The videos presents people who are gay, straight, tall, short, young, old are all represented in the most “this is normal” and comfortable way, ending in all the representitives kissing and just being in love and happy as if it’s a perfect world.

Although it’s far from perfect, the video’s message of inclusiveness is exactly why I love living in Toronto – it’s a melting pot of cultures and one of the most accepting cities I’ve ever encountered. I’m always so proud to say I live here.

Here’s a sampling of the words:

I can’t concede,
This way I feel,
For all the time we spent, together,
Forever – Just gets better.

See what I’m trying to say is:
You make things – better
And no matter what the day is,
With you here – it’s better.
