Bad Day - Daniel Powter

Where is the moment we need at the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on

You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day

(Oh.. Holiday..)
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong

So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

====================================================

Isn't his name like, Daniel Radcliffe and Harry Potter combined? Hahahaha I just kinda find that funny... It's a good song, one of the Soundtracks of My Life. I'd compile an album of that. So far there are at least 5 songs in already.

The song just makes me feel better. Yeah, it speaks of someone who's had a bad day, but the melody is soothing. The melody kind of says, "Don't worry, everything's gonna be OK." And the lyrics is nice. It's not the typical angst-ridden ones we hear often from punk bands. Not that I don't like those, I mean, I love Simple Plan and it's nice to scream your vocal cords off to let out the steam. But sometimes, we just gotta let the tears flow, you know? I got an "inspirational" message awhile ago and it said that once in a while, we should just let it out. Watch a sappy movie, read a book, sing a sad song and just cry. I was thinking, I haven't done that in a while. Haha! It's not that I like crying. It's just that, three months ago, I cried so often, loneliness and adjustment issues. Now, because of all the health-hazardous schoolwork that's given to us, all the feelings of loneliness, of breaking down, just got pushed aside. And that's not good, because when a moment of tranquility comes, all those feelings would come barreling back like the Hogwarts Express and hit you hard. Sometimes, a good cry is all it takes to be happy.

So now I'm thinking of watching A Walk to Remember again... Hmm... Tissues on the ready!
