This Friday’s song is Days Like This by Van Morrison. This was the title song of a 1995 album and it became the official anthem of the peace movement in Northern Ireland. I love the inherent optimism of the lyrics, the easy beat, and the sax riffs. Hope you enjoy Days Like This.
When it’s not always raining there’ll be days like this
When there’s no one complaining there’ll be days like this
When everything falls into place like the flick of a switch
Well my mama told me there’ll be days like this
…
When you don’t need to worry there’ll be days like this
When no one’s in a hurry there’ll be days like this
When you don’t get betrayed by that old Judas kiss
Oh my mama told me there’ll be days like this
…
When you don’t need an answer there’ll be days like this
When you don’t meet a chancer there’ll be days like this
When all the parts of the puzzle start to look like they fit it
Then I must remember there’ll be days like this
Songwriters: Van Morrison
