This song takes me back to a love of mine....so sweet, innocent, so tender, but he would play this song for me when I was a thousand miles away , but I could truly feel him next to me as we would talk ..missing that feeling tonight...wondering where he is right now...cos well....right now...Im wishing he was "right here"...
Great album, should have got more recognition, he should play this song on the Crash Karma tour so people listen to it. Maybe he could remaster it and re release it!
I agree that Edwin without IME has't even a fraction of the chemistry, Though IME without edwin is as mutch of a disapointment. He was ahead of his time. If he were to release that single now instead of in 2006 how mutch you wanna bet the radio would be playin it to death. Bottom line IME should've stayed together, toughed it out in terms of creative diferences, and we would STILL have a quality band on the airwaves today... nuff said.

It really annoys me how you continuously spell "MUCH" with a 'T' in it; not to mention the random capitalization of words that don't need it, and lack there of for those that do.
Now, spelling on the internet for the most part is allowed to be awful, but this is just down right annoying.
Wow this song blows! It sounds worse than Brian Adams. Its hard to believe this is the same edwin from IME, but now that I think about it, IME is great because of the Tanna's and Bruce on bass, nice try at a solo career, Edwin, you sellout
I thought he was a great guy, I met him while working at Athletes World in Toronto. I fit his kid for shoes, he was super nice, his wife was a bit of a bitch though. He told me he had an album coming out soon, that was back in 2002 or so, so...I dunno, didn't see much from him after that.
i was fortunate enough to spend and evening with edwin, findng out all about him and what makes him tick. he is an amazing man, just a bit misunderstood. damn sexy too!
Wow. It's so deep. She's the girl. The girl who we all feel like sometimes. It can be hard. But there's always people to help us through. Even if we don't know it at the time. "no one seems to know. about the girl on the fifteenth floor. this close to letting go." They know. You're amazing. Accept it. One day you'll look back, on days like today, and think "I took so many days just like that for granted."
Good song! lmfao sam your comment is actually funny:) god i miss the days when we hung out ALL THE TIME now were busy with our stupid boyfriends all the time lmfao well your is stupid mine isnt:)
This is a sad song, but an amazing one. I've seen it quite a few times as I'm sure that many other have too. People looking down on themselves when they really shouldn't, and I'm also sure that there are alot of them who don't realize the people who would be singing this song for them. I know I've met a few, and I must thank Edwin for this song. It's help me save a few lives. So thanks for that.
I also must thank those of you who have tabed this song.
I think from the video he is playing 2 open chords being C and F, then G on the 3rd fret. I also noticed on the F chord he is coming off and on the Bass F note or muting it sometimes. Also on the open C chord his pinky might be on a D note at the 3rd fret, 2nd string. What do you think? Guess I have to get my guitar out and try to match sound of chords. Also the single notes playing, I will have to see if there is any sharps in the introduction solo.
Alex Lifeson on multiple tracks on Edwin's Better Days, Oct. 3rd, 2006 "Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson is on several tracks, including "Never Over" which should be a single...Edwin and Lifeson go back 10 years.
