“Can I count on you to be my better day?” is the line that echoes throughout Aaron D’Arcy’s catchy new single. The Yarraville singer-songwriter has written the rock-edged country song “Better Day” to highlight the brighter side of challenging situations – something that we could all use during this time.
“Better Day” is the perfect soundtrack to a lazy Saturday morning while cooking breakfast for the family.
It is soulful and has the ability to resonate with all of us. Aaron’s reassuring voice is easy to get caught up in and I often find myself singing along without realising.
“It carries the messages that even though things can be doom and gloom, if you’ve got a positive outlook, they can change around,” said Aaron.
We can always use more positivity in our lives, and Aaron’s optimistic lyrics along with his soothing guitar is bound to lift even the most sombre of moods.
Aaron wrote this song with Cam Muncey from Australian rock band, Jet. Cam plays acoustic guitar and also does backing vocals on the track, and Jet’s Mark Wilson plays bass. Writing with Cam was a highlight for Aaron who has been a long time fan of Jet’s music.
Let Aaron’s single become a new local anthem; an ode to keeping each other positive and looking forward to the future, whatever that may look like.
You can listen to “Better Day” on Spotify and iTunes. Aaron will also release a film clip he shot during lockdown on the 31st August.
