Get Better

[Verse 1] Hallelujah I’m listening to a recording of you sleeping next to me A cappella I’m listening to you cover Elliot Smith’s "Angeles" It’s these times I’ll need if you go It’s these times I’ll need if you go so [Chorus] Get better my darling I know you will Get better my darling I know you will Get better [Verse 2] I’m drawn to the motorway The cold whoosh of trucks passing This nightmare under sodium light The orange spread is soul-quietening A younger you and a younger me Meeting at The Serpentine I am yours you are mine [Verse 3] Happy birthday Staff smuggled in a card I made It rests under your pillow When out of ICU I’ll cringe at all the "I love you"s The card retired the life of one biro At this time I wanted you to know At this time I wanted you to know [Chorus] Get better my darling I hope you will Get better my darling I hope you will Get better [Verse 4] I’ll start the day with tiramisu Raise a spoon to front line workers An underfunded principle They risk all to be there for us A younger you and a younger me Meeting at The Serpentine I am yours you are mine [Verse 5] You were the baker I’ll christen this new era with the smell of freshly baked bread Your Nutella I’ll keep it in the cellar You were always a fan of that spread Six months on there’s a car crash outside The fire brigade using the jaws of life No flush at night to sound your return I still pretend you’re only out of sight Front garden bouquet I threw it at the fire brigade I was admonished and told to go back inside From the living room window I stand and watch the white sheet go over the family car and I close my eyes I still pretend you’re only out of sight in another room Smiling at your phone I still pretend you’re only out of sight in another room Smiling at your phone I still pretend you’re only out of sight in another room Smiling at your phone I still pretend you’re only out of sight in another room Smiling at your phone I still pretend [Outro] A younger me a younger you Meeting at The Serpentine The beginning of spring you wore those yellow ripped jeans Your look defined my 2009 Your shyness stoked my boldness "Shall we go in?" I smiled Your hand warmed walking through the gallery (Get better) I know I will (Get better) My darling I know I will

La chanson évoque une profonde affection et un souhait sincère de rétablissement pour une personne chère, exprimant à la fois vulnérabilité et espoir. Le narrateur se remémore des moments précieux passés ensemble tout en confrontant une réalité difficile, marquée par la maladie et l'incertitude, mais aussi par la douceur des souvenirs. Les scènes décrites, comme écouter un enregistrement de l’être aimé endormi ou la préparation d'un anniversaire dans un contexte hospitalier, illustrent la lutte entre l’angoisse et l’amour persistant. En toile de fond, on ressent le poids de l'épreuve, mais également la force des liens humains qui transcendent les difficultés. La mention de gestes simples et de souvenirs partagés renforce l'idée que, malgré les épreuves, l'espoir d'une guérison et d'un retour à une vie normale est omniprésent. C'est une ode à la résilience et à la douceur des moments qui réchauffent le cœur en temps de crise.
