A better time is the new song by Andrea Laszlo De Simonepublished for 42 Records theJanuary 1, 2025. The song is the artist's first official release after winning the prestigious César Award.
Andrea Laszlo De Simone he published surprisingly A better timethe first day of the new year. It is not the first time that the artist releases a song on New Year's Eve. And it's not even a coincidence, because it responds to a precise intention. New Year's Eve begins the new year; and it is a moment in which we leave the past behind, to open ourselves with hope to the future. The meaning of New Year's Eve is even more relevant with reference to the publication of A better time.
The song is a cathartic ballad, timeless and with a liberating function. It's a hymn to mistakes and imperfection in which Andrea Laszlo De Simone mixes the personal dimension with the universal one. The result is a message of hope, which is launched in a complex moment.
About the publication of A better timethe artist states: “It's not the first time I've released a song on New Year's Eve. In fact it's a kind of tradition now. On the other hand, it is par excellence the night that introduces the new and in which one shakes off the past year. It's a time for balance and for the most romantic, for hope. It is just a convention, of course, an exorcising rite that I have never given any importance to and which indeed I have often poorly digested.
Today, however, I need to think of the World as if it were a real person, full of defects and a victim of its own mistakes. * A person like me and certainly like most of us. Today is his birthday and instead of raising controversy I want to hug him, tell him that I made a mistake too and that I want to make peace. So I introduce a new song, shaking off the past year and sharing my personal and intimate assessment in the hope that it will be appreciated. I sincerely wish everyone “A better time””.

Andrea Laszlo De Simone, the lyrics of “A better moment”
I lost my heart and a true friend, I lost everyone
and I have no one left
I gave love, but I wasn't sincere
and I lied without any remorse
I had a father and I mean a real father who showed me what it means to be a man
but I chose to want to remain a child
not to follow anyone's example
I lost my heart and my true love, I lost it and now I don't know who I am anymore
I gave love, but I wasn't mature and without love I will have to live
I gave her everything I had
but what I had then wasn't much
and I took it all by robbing destiny
but destiny is not an easy prey
Maybe I lied all along
or maybe I'm too sincere
and I have a fragile mind
or am I just immature
or more likely
I don't want to think about the future
because I'm almost sure
that I will be wrong forever
But nobody nobody nobody nobody
has never had a better time
nobody nobody
Nobody nobody nobody nobody
has never had a better time
nobody nobody
never
