"Better Than You Realize" is a song of hope and an inspirational ballad for those who, at times, feel like giving up. Artist, songwriter, producer Phillip O'Rourke uses his own story as the inspiration to this song and encourages the listener to hold on. "There was a time in my life when I felt like giving up; I just didn't want to live anymore. I hope that whose who may have been in my position will find the strength and the inspiration through this song and know that others feel the same way, but life is "...better than you realize." - Phillip O'Rourke "Better Than You Realize" is not your typical Christian/Gospel sounding record, but a blend of RnB & Pop that gives a fresh and unique sound & perspective to music. This song and the message are a perfect fit for those causes which help to uplift and support those who need it most. "If you never do anything else believe in yourself and always be willing to try. It may look bad right now, but life's better than you realize." -Phillip O'Rourke (Lyric) "Better Than You Realize" is first release off of upcoming inspirational project entitled "I Made It."
