"Better Way" is a song by singer-songwriter Ben Harper. It is the first track on disc two of his 2006 album Both Sides of the Gun, and was released as the album's first single. A live version of the song appears on Songs for Tibet: The Art of Peace, a compilation album by various artists supporting Tibet.[1] The song also served as a campaign song for Barack Obama during his 2008 presidential campaign.[2]
Themes
A few music journalists have compared the song to John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance".[citation needed] Noting the songs are similar because they both express anger at current problems, but do not address how these problems were created or how they will be solved.
