Love And The Outcome - Good Life Lyrics
Lyrics
Lost here, in this moment
Feels like the sky is glowing
Do you ever smile and don't you know why you're smiling?
Days like these are only once in a lifetime
I could just stay here
It doesn't get any better than this
It doesn't get any better
It doesn't get any better than this
It doesn't get any better
This is a good life
This is a good life
Nothing can separate us
We don't feel like strangers
Who you are when you want to take a picture
Perfect like it is and we don't need no filter
I could just live here
It doesn't get any better than this
It doesn't get any better
It doesn't get any better than this
It doesn't get any better
This is a good life
This is a good life
This is a good life
This is a good life
One good day makes you forget all the bad ones
One good day
And you'll never forget
This is a good life
(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
This is a good life
(This is, a good life, a good life)
This is a good life
It doesn't get any better than this
It doesn't get any better
It doesn't get any better than this
It doesn't get any better
This is a good life
This is a good life
This is a good life
This is a good life

Good Life
Meaning & Inspiration
Released on March 2, 2018, Love And The Outcome’s "Good Life" serves as a vibrant, undeniable declaration of gratitude, inviting us to pause and truly inhabit moments of profound peace and joy. The song unpacks the simple yet profound truth that life, when viewed through a lens of appreciation and divine perspective, is indeed good. It isn't a call to superficial optimism, but rather a deep-seated recognition of blessings that often go unnoticed in our hurried world, echoing the biblical mandate to be thankful in all circumstances.
The narrative of "Good Life" begins with an immersive experience, a feeling of being "lost here, in this moment" where "the sky is glowing" and joy bubbles up without conscious effort. This isn't just fleeting happiness; it's a state of being fully present, a gift from above that prompts a spontaneous smile. Such unadulterated joy resonates deeply with the fruit of the Spirit, reminding us that joy is a divine impartation, not merely a human emotion contingent on perfect surroundings. As Paul urges us in Philippians 4:4, we are to "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!" This isn't a suggestion, but a command to find our joy rooted in God, a joy that makes us feel truly alive and connected to something greater than ourselves. The sentiment that "days like these are only once in a lifetime" encourages us to cherish these precious moments, understanding that every good and perfect gift comes from the Father of lights, who does not change (James 1:17). It champions living in the now, savoring the grace of each day without the burdens of yesterday or anxieties of tomorrow, much like Jesus taught us not to worry about what tomorrow will bring (Matthew 6:34).
The recurring affirmation, "It doesn't get any better than this," transcends mere satisfaction; it’s a statement of ultimate contentment. This deep contentment, a cornerstone of Christian living, finds its power not in having everything, but in recognizing that what we have is enough, particularly when God is at the center. Paul’s declaration in Philippians 4:11, "I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances," perfectly aligns with this message. The song isn't suggesting a lack of challenges, but rather an embrace of present blessings so powerful they redefine our outlook, asserting, "This is a good life." It prompts us to echo Psalm 118:24: "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."
The lyrics then move to speak of deep connection, asserting that "nothing can separate us" and "we don't feel like strangers." This isn't just about human relationships, though it certainly applies; in a spiritual context, it powerfully evokes the unbreakable bond believers share with God and with each other. It recalls the profound truth of Romans 8:38-39, assuring us that "neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Furthermore, the idea of not feeling like strangers can be understood in light of Ephesians 2:19, which states, "Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of his household." This unity and belonging are integral to the "good life" God intends for us. The phrase "perfect like it is and we don't need no filter" is a refreshing call for authenticity and acceptance, especially poignant in an age of curated self-image. It’s a powerful acknowledgment that God’s creation, including ourselves, is inherently good and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), needing no artificial enhancements to be deemed valuable or beautiful.
Finally, "Good Life" offers a message of profound hope and resilience: "One good day makes you forget all the bad ones." This isn't about ignoring past pain but about the redemptive power of God’s grace to overshadow and transform our perspective. A single moment of divine goodness can reset our weary souls, reminding us that God is always doing a new thing (Isaiah 43:18-19) and that our momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all (2 Corinthians 4:17). The song ultimately becomes a compelling anthem for living a life rich in spiritual perspective, full of gratitude for God's constant presence and overflowing blessings, inviting all who hear it to truly see and celebrate the "good life" He continually provides.
