Lovely Day
Bill Withers · More Music From The Breeze [2013]
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
And something without warning, love
Bears heavy on my mind
Then I look at you, and the world's alright with me
Just one look at you, and I know it's gonna be
A lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
A lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
Then I look at you, and the world's alright with me
Just one look at you, and I know it's gonna be
A lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
A lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
Then I look at you, and the world's alright with me
Just one look at you, and I know it's gonna be
A lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
A lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
A lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
A lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
A lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
A lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day....
Lovely Day
Bill Withers' 'Lovely Day' stands as a quintessential example of his soulful, jazz-infused pop style, characterized by its infectious groove and introspective lyrics. Recorded for the 2013 compilation 'More Music From The Breeze,' the track showcases Withers' signature ability to blend smooth instrumentation with deeply personal themes of hope and resilience. While the song shares thematic DNA with his other iconic works like 'Lean on Me' and 'Ain't No Sunshine,' it offers a distinct sonic palette that highlights his versatility as a songwriter and performer. The recording captures the warmth and optimism that defined his catalog, cementing his legacy as a master of the soul genre who could convey profound emotion through simple, melodic structures.
