Ok so some songs just sound sad right but this one sounds like the exact moment your world just goes quiet and breaks apart. Courtney Hadwins song Good Old Days isn’t even a full song. Its just a one minute demo. But it hits you like a memory you were really trying to forget. Its rough not finished and it hurts because its so honest. She doesn’t just sing the story. She kind of acts it out right in front of you. That’s why so many people follow her. Its because of her real honesty and feelings that everyone gets.
The song is about someone who didn’t see the breakup coming. Theres regret theres sadness and that ouch feeling of what could have been. Courtney is feeling two big things at the same time. One part of her is holding tight to a memory. The other part is trying to let it go. Her voice goes from really soft to totally broken. It shows how hard it is to be sad about something when youre trying to act like youre over it.

People who listen say the song helped them get through a bad day or feel like someone understands. Even though its only a minute long the comments got filled with peoples own stories. They talked about relationships that failed trust that got broken and times they wish they could fix. Courtneys honesty makes that feel real. Its not about being perfect. Its just about telling the truth and feeling like someone gets you.
But if Good Old Days is the moment your heart breaks then her song Monsters is the moment you fight back. Its the next part of the story. The part where you look at your fears the bad memories the hurt and you decide youre stronger than all of it. In Monsters Courtney isn’t just getting by. Shes fighting back.
