Brighter Days (formerly Back To Bed) is a song by rock band John Snow released in 201 The then-unidentified song was posted on WatZatSong by user's daqva query.
Backstory
The song was first uploaded on WatZatSong on April 29th, 2011 by user daqva. It is only 30 seconds long and the only known information from it is that it was recorded off of Y-Rock, Philadelphia.
Y-Rock was broadcasting under that name from 2006 to 2010 which is also most likely when the song was made.
Old Leads
Under a YouTube video of a reupload of the song, two theories were given out, Both of them being debunked. Chris Hornsby's unreleased album "Freshly Grounded Man" has a song under the title of "Too Many Things Have Already Been Said." but as of currently there is no way to listen to the album and the songs. (Since then, Chris' voice or accent have been found to have little to no resemblance to BTB's singer's.)
On March 6th, Reddit user u/stevethesleeve12 mentioned multiple archives to the Y-Rock website, having over 400 songs listed in their playlists page. These songs haven't been fully explored but it's highly likely that none of them are Back To Bed, however, they do contain some obscure rock songs from that time.
One very quickly debunked lead was that it was in a show called "Mr Handson". Another theory came up due to a video called "Y Rock Interview," one of the people sounding similar to the BTB singer, and the fact that Y-Rock is involved. The video mentioned can be found here.
It has also been suspected that the singer has an accent, which the accent has been suspected to be; German, European, Dutch, or Scandinavian (though it's now confirmed the lead singer is Norwegian.)
Availability
On May 20th, 2024, Reddit user u/Belfour20 from the r/BackToBed subreddit, a subreddit dedicated to tracking down "Back To Bed", found the song on Soundcloud from one of Y-Rock's playlists. The full song, entitled "Brighter Days" by John Snow, had a music video of the song uploaded to Vimeo, thus, ending the search.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Every morning, same old, same old
Can't stand the morning sun
Or those disciplined people
Early hour for their run
At five in the morning
What will be the use of this day?
[Chorus]
I might as well go back to bed
Too many rainy days still searchin’
For that glimpse of where happiness lies
Well, I've seen brighter days
[Verse 2]
Suffocated in surr*ound
By mechanical people
My mind is occupied
With answers I can't seem to find
So I wonder as I wander
Is this by some shape or design?
Or am I wired a different way?
[Chorus]
I might as well go back to bed
Too m*any rainy days still searchin’
For that glimpsе of where happiness liеs
Well, I've seen brighter days
[Bridge]
Blinded by these white lights
By morning sunshine
[Pre-Chorus]
Mmm, mmm
Every morning, same old (Same old)
(Okay)
[Chorus]
Too many rainy days still searchin'
For that glimpse of where happiness lies
Well, I've seen brighter days (La-la-la)
Too many rainy days still searchin' (La-la-la)
For that glimpse of where happiness lies (La-la-la)
(La-la-la) Well, I've seen brighter days (La-la)
