about

This is the first single off Dilemmanade's first full length album due out in 2016. This hip-pop cross over track is about taking control of your memories because it's up to you how you choose to react to situations and how you do impacts whether or not you will look back on times as bad memories or hopefully good. Choose to smile. Even in shitty situations. Then you can look back and laugh rather than thinking back and reliving a bad memory.

lyrics

Verse 1
Today’s the day we all make our yesterday
If better's what we want, then better's what we better
make
except for the expression, “never say never", we never say it
Let’s make the most of this moment don't let it get away
most of all don't let it be a bad memory
cuz we control that, that's something they can never change
we measure age by friends not years
so let's measure our days by happiness not tears ....

Chorus
Some day when we reminisce about these days
Looking back, thinkin ‘bout everything that we could’ve changed
And every memory that we made(make?)
I wanna remember it
Like we had it good even when it rained

Verse 2
So will this be on the oldies station of a growing nation?
how do we call him Father Time but don't see no relation?
I know we don't need patience if we only waste
if we didn't focus on makin it through...I know we'd make it!
best times of our life but if we don't enjoy it,
then how we gonna look back on it with enjoyment
pick our battles they'll be many in our travels
don't waste energy just shake anything that rattles
enjoy everything yes even the hassles
let's live our life, and not just pass through
don't let these days you miss be you least favourite
cuz trust me it'll be these days we miss when we see
greys come in

Chorus

Verse 3
So it really makes no difference how old we live
sittin in an old folks home my grandma slowly drifts
cuz those who stop makin them good ol days die lonliest
ain't it funny how we hate school until we leave? YES!
graduate to the real world then we'd kill for recess
sometimes I regress to times we made it thee best
so we'd remember rainy day games we played, instead of regrets!
