“Best of Times” is the second single from the new Sage Francis album, LI(F)E. Co-written by Sage and French composer Yann Tiersen, who is best known for the Amelie soundtrack, with Brian Deck, who has worked with Iron & Wine and Modest Mouse, tackling production duties. “Best of Times” is an emotionally driven track that builds from minimalist ambient to a soaring live band atmosphere with Francis delivering autobiographical rhymes.

Wow. Just….wow.

Had to listen. Well done.
Looks like your blowin up sage, air time on the biggest UK radio station. I’m glad the world has finally found you! I hope your going to tour UK, I’ll be there.
Keep Inspiring.
Sounds like the master is about to unveil his masterpiece. Been a fan for a long time but this album is different. Keep going Sage, music needs you!
Mad to hear this has played on radio one but it is more appealing to a mass audience. Amazing lyrics as always but I look forward to the day when Sage does more tracks with production from sixtoo. Crack pipes is the bomb!
The Best of times is a lyrical masterpiece. no one can fail but to be touched by this genius. Zane Low was right to back this track and of course to back Sage. really hope a UK tour is in the offing. Awsome !!!!!!
Just listened to Best of Times and fucking ordered the new record.
Fuck yeah Sage Francis.
Yes, AMAZING and with Yann Tiersen, incredible cooperation!
Love to see the music video to this but can’t seem to find it online. Sage if you read this and haven’t made a video, I have a few visual skills that I’d be honored to pair up with this song.
I just heard this on Absolute Radio UK. Great.
This is kicking off everywhere. Love the lyrical content of this track, I can’t wait to hear more!!
This is the platform for the Sage.
“I dont remember much”
Can’t wait for Sage Francis to come to The Netherlands….
U live for the hate son. F*#k a rap demonstration.
Love Love Love. I haven’t had the money to buy this cd so I came to the website to try and hear some. WHen I heard this song I lost my mind. Two of my favorite artists together. Literally my music library is full of either Sage or Yann Tiersen. Amazing song, hoping for more in the future!!
two words “Lyrical Genius”
simply amazing song!
