“Better” by SYML - A Song Review

     Some voices seem designed for accompaniment by a specific instrument. For SYML, the instrument is the piano. That makes sense, since the songwriting and singing are by a pianist. SYML is the performance name of Brian Fennell in Seattle.

     “Better” is another example of the strong working relationship between the piano and vocals within a SYML track. The song is about a guy who recognizes that he benefits more from a relationship than she does. She “came into the picture like a natural,” while he entered her picture as “such a broken fool.” 


Lyrics of “Better” by SYML
You came into the picture like a natural
You were unexpected, got me spiritual
I don't wanna say it, but maybe it was fate
And I cannot contain it

And I know, and I know it's a different love
And I know, and I know that you make me better
It's a love that will keep me holding on
And I know, and I know we only get better

I came into your picture such a broken fool
A million different pieces looking back at you
Believe me when I say this, I was giving up
But now you come and save me

And I know, and I know it's a different love
And I know, and I know that you make me better
It's a love that will keep me holding on
And I know, and I know we only get better

Oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Ay, ay, we only get better
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Ay, ay, we only get better
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Ay, ay, we only get better
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Ay, ay, we only get better

Love can terrify, love can start a fire
Holding on tonight, we're burning like a lighter
Everything inside us burning with desire, now

And I know, and I know it's a different love
And I know, and I know that you make me better
You're enough and you keep me holding on
And I know, and I know we only get better

Oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Ay, ay, we only get better
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Ay, ay, we only get better
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Ay, ay, we only get better
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Ay, ay, we only get better
