Limited edition Signed 1st pressing of A Better Way on a gorgeous transparent teal vinyl (140 g Crystal Blue Curaçao, to be exact.). Only 200 available! It sounds incredible and looks amaze balls on your mantle or your wall, if you’re one of those legends who buys vinyl but doesn't have a record player! The vinyl album contains a 4 page booklet with lyrics for all songs + liner notes. Manufactured in Paris, France.
"There’s no true environmentally sound solution to producing vinyl records. After months of research into the options, given global supply chain issues and up to a year-long delay in delivery times, the best option for A Better Way was to go with an energy efficient manufacturer who creates as little waste as possible, and who was based in Europe to reduce delivery distance. The 140g weight was chosen to reduce PVC needs without jeopardising sound quality and the exterior is packaged in 100% compostable film that meets EN13432 standards. Each vinyl album sold is offset with a carbon credit."

about
The sultry yearning of this slow-burning love song delivers Max Zaska’s delicate dreamy guitar riffs under Melina Malone’s smokey R&B runs.
It's a love song from Mother Earth asking us to love her as much as she loves us. The song is ultimately one of hope, that if we can keep going just for one day, that maybe we'll be alright after all.
lyrics
I’ve been trying to say
In every kind of way
That I’m here to stay
Waiting for you babe, oh
I’ve been having dreams
But it doesn’t seem
Like you’re there for me,
Like I need you to be, oh
Nobody told me I could feel this way
I just wanted to say
Love me just for one day
I could never be yours if you don’t feel
Like this love could be real
Like it could even heal my wounds
Just for one day, just for one day
Just for one day, just for one day
Just for one day, just for one day
Just for one day
Lying in your arms,
Healing all my scars,
Waiting for the part
When you say how much you care oh
But it never comes
And I’m left so numb from
All I crave from you
And what I need you to do oh
Nobody told me I could feel this way
I just wanted to say
Love me just for one day
I could never be yours if you don’t feel
Like this love could be real
Like it could even heal my wounds
Just for one day, just for one day
Just for one day, just for one day
Just for one day, just for one day
Just for one day
Just for one day, just for one day
Just for one day, just for one day
Just for one day, just for one day
Just for one day
