More on Better Days
Description from Wikipedia:
"Better Days" is a song by the Goo Goo Dolls released April, 2006 as the first single off the album, Let Love In. The song has reached as high as number 36 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, and also rose up to #3 on the Billboard Hot Adult Top 40 Tracks chart. The song was written by John Rzeznik about a materialistic girl he was seeing at the time; the song, in a rare occurrence for a general pop song, makes several references to Christmas, including a direct reference to "the one poor child who saved this world." During the time that Katrina had been televised, ABC and by CNN used it as their theme for the Katrina coverage. The song was featured on the pilot episode of CBS' 2006 TV series, Jericho. The song also featured as the theme of WWE Tribute to the Troops 2006, a special broadcast of WWE Raw which aired on Christmas Night 2006. During a special "After the Storms" episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition the Goo Goo Dolls performed this song for the residents of Sabine Pass, TX, which was hit by Hurricane Rita in September 2005.
Canadian journalist and politician Michael Ignatieff used an altered version of the song for his campaign video at the Liberal Party of Canada's 2006 Leadership Convention. The version of the song featured in his video was comprised of some altered lyrics, and contained a verse in French. When speaking at the convention, Ignatieff began his speech by saying "Tonight is the night the Liberal party begins again", mimicking a lyric from Better Days.
"Better Days" was chosen as the theme song for the Buffalo Sabres 2007 Stanley Cup Playoffs run.
