What it is

"A Better Place" is the opening track of Glen Campbell's 2011 album Ghost on the Canvas, planned as his final studio album of original material after his Alzheimer's diagnosis. Campbell co-wrote the song with producer Julian Raymond, and this autobiographical piece is what started their collaboration on the album, which deals with mortality and finality in a hopeful tone.
