It's Another Day
Rick Nelson · The Last Time Around 1970 - 1982 [2010]
Everytime I see your face in the midnight
I remind myself i'm just a fool
Just a fool for ever thinkin' we could go on forever
At least we've lived a life or two.
Another day goes by and I fall into silence
It was just a dream away
And all the thoughts we shared and the worlds we left behind us
Have more meaning anyway.
But it's another day
It's another time
You're so far away
And I'm so hard to find
It's a long way home
It's a long way to freedom on your own.
I remember we were so much older then
The more you learn, the less you know
That I've always known
That a friend is just a friend
So now your freedom's all your own.
But it's another day
It's another time
You're so far away
And I'm so hard to find
It's a long way home
It's a long way to freedom on your own...
It's Another Day
Rick Nelson's "It's Another Day" stands as a quintessential example of his smooth, baroque pop style that defined the early 1960s. Recorded for his Decca catalog, the track exemplifies the polished production and lush orchestration characteristic of his work during this era. As a staple of his discography, the song reflects the romantic and slightly melancholic themes often explored in Nelson's recordings, capturing the emotional resonance of youth and longing. The composition showcases his signature vocal delivery, blending pop sensibilities with the sophisticated arrangements that made him a leading figure in the British Invasion and American teen pop scenes. This recording remains a significant part of his legacy, illustrating the enduring appeal of his melodic craftsmanship and the specific sonic texture of early 60s rock and roll.
