Ray, we will always be nice to you, you have been so good for us all of these years. This song helped keep me going when in hospital in 2009. " when the mist clears, the sun will shine again " It did
Ray used to talk about a song called "The Optimist" that he worked on for a long time. I am not sure whether that song was ever actually finished and recorded, but as I recall he said that various other songs had been off-shoots of "The Optimist", including "Better Things". This song here seems like another variation of this ongoing theme. "When the mist clears, the sun will shine again." "There's gonna be a better day I swear!" Ray's grounded optimism radiates.
This song rates close to Scattered a masterpiece. Ray was shot in New Orleans.....He forgave there is Mercy. This cat is a true Genius/Poet and a soul of Light.
Ray’s Austin City Limits versions of songs from Other People’s Lives, as exemplified here, are far better than the poorly arranged, poorly recorded, poorly sung versions on the studio album.

Sometimes these days ole Ray looks like Johnny Cash. He's still got the smile! My wife and I saw him on this tour in Dallas. Great show.
