This version of Better Man was recorded spontaneously in a single take during a break from an unrelated session. What began as a fleeting moment turned into something unforgettable—the “Red House Studio Demo Take #1” is as raw and unfiltered as the emotions that inspired it. Stripped of production layers, the song offers a soul-baring performance that immerses listeners in Rob’s journey of healing. With only voice and guitar, it’s a cathartic release for those who’ve faced life’s toughest moments and discovered the strength to rise stronger.

In a world filled with polished, overproduced tracks, Better Man is a reminder of the beauty in authenticity and vulnerability. Raw and unrefined yet brimming with hope, the song invites listeners to move forward and embrace life’s challenges. Rob Fillo’s powerful delivery and honest songwriting create an intimate connection that lingers long after the song ends.

Promoted to indie radio stations worldwide, Better Man is a track meant to reach those who need to hear it most—a story of resilience and the unwavering belief that we can all become better versions of ourselves, no matter the obstacles.

Better Man - Lyrics by Rob Fillo
Verse 1:
You’ve got a pretty smile, won’t you sit and rest a while
And I could ramble off the things I think I know
But I might just be a fool ‘cause I’ve let the darkness rule too long
Might be better if I sit alone
Gotta work through all these shadows on my own
Chorus:
To be a better man now, a better man for me
You helped me out, but it’s time I set you free
And I understand now, just why you couldn’t stay
In leaving me, you helped me find my way
Verse 2:
You make an easy lean and I’d like to keep you keen
But I’ll take and take and tell you you’re not givin’
I now see my mistakes and though it makes my belly ache
I’ve grown tired of dyin’ it’s time that I start living
To find a world where I could raise my children
[Chorus]
Verse 3:
I’ve still got steps to take and sometimes I think I’ll break
But the love you gave me helps me push on through
And as we both move on; well I hope you like this song
I’m so grateful for the time I spent with you
You opened up my eyes to see what’s true
[Chorus]
In leaving me, you helped me find my way
