What a wonderful life now all aligned

PART OF THE 30-DAY SONG MEME CHALLENGE

day 28 - a song that makes you feel inspired and creative

Greg Laswell - What A Day

I just love how this song feels so hopeful and inspirational despite the uncertainties and wordplay - when I listen to it I can’t help but be reminded of how much some of us have and how much we can all give to those who have less.

The first line never fails to bring a smile on my face and to uplift my spirits (what a day to be alive). It makes me feel that all the drama I’m getting are just mere bumps on the road and that I still have more things to be grateful for. Like being alive for another day to actually be able to make some sort of change, or to touch someone’s life. Like surviving tragedy and being able to rise from the fall. Like having a day off to do something productive or nonsensical or whatever tickles your fancy.

Every new day is different, I suppose. And every new day is a chance to do something to make your life better. 😉

What a day to be alive
What a day to realize I’m not dead
What a day to save a dime
What a day to die trying

What a way to say goodbye
What a wonderful life now all aligned
And what a way that you survive
What a day to say goodnight

Bring on the evening hours I cried
Bring on the evidence of my life
Of my life

What a day to give a damn
What a day for ‘Gone With the Wind’
And what a day to start again
What a day to give up dry gin

Bring on the evening hours I cried
Bring on the evidence of my life
Bring on the evening hours I cried
Bring on the evidence of my life

Where to go
Where to go from here I…I don’t know
Where to go from here I…don’t know
Don’t know oh oh

What a day to visit Seattle
What a day for San Francisco
What a day, holy Toledo
What a day to get in the air and go
What a day to give up smoking
What a day to absorb Jim Beam and
What a day to welcome a baby
And to begin breathing

What a day to visit Seattle
What a day for San Francisco
What a day, holy Toledo
What a day to get in the air and go
What a day to give up smoking and
What a day to absorb Jim Beam and
What a day to welcome a baby and
To begin breathing
