    Notes: Wait For Better Days is one of the flagships of the 2013 Ray Wilson album Chasing Rainbows. catchy verses, melodic chorus, skilfully staged, perfectly sung - plus the surprising saxophone element. Tip: Hear it loud!.

    I like that a lot. An above average ballad, has tinges of Many Too Many about it. 12.


    As I listened, I couldn't help but think what an interesting third chapter Genesis could have had... Oh well!

    agreed - on both comments.

    Ray has quite a few great tracks on his albums and this is one of those.
