Song information
Very early in Hi-School, I had a bit of a crush on a fellow art student, I never did anything about it because I had no idea how to navigate those waters. I’ll never forget the day l arriving to art class to find out that she had died over night... we were young and I had no experience with this part of life yet, and I was unable to process this at the time... years later I wrote this with her in the opening of the song... We all soon learn that death is something that we face over and over again... this song isn’t really about Wendy as much as it is about numbering our days and grasping that our time is a measured currency… she was the springboard into the subject

Lyrics
All of our days are numbered 
every day has to count 
time slips around the back door 
then time runs out 
I had a close friend tell me 
there’s time to do everything 
she had big plans for summer 
she died that spring

There’s no better day to open your heart 
there’s no better day to make your new start
there’s no better day let him show you how 
there’s no better day than now

All of our days are numbered 
every day has to count 
time slips around the back door 
then time runs out 
Now He had to tend to business 
his family would wait at home
Plans were made for tomorrow 
now he’s alone

There’s no better day to open your heart 
there’s no better day to make your new start
there’s no better day let him show you how 
there’s no better day than now
no better day that now

Relevant message, Scott, yet personal.. Every day is a new day as long as one is breathing.. I like how the music/melody is uplifting in nature..:)

It's bright and hopefull even with the alternative lurking in the message.  I love the harmonies and that line "time slips around the back door and then runs out".  Makes me picture a child running around playing catch me if you can.  I enjoyed the whole song and it gave me a boost of encouragement.

"Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today."  Today is the day your future depends on it.  Great song..... gives me hope

Wow, what a great song! Excellent production, everything is crystal clear, great work on that acoustic and bass (is that a fretless?), nice harmonies and of course the lyrics are very poignant. High level stuff here
