Music Monday ~ Lovely Day

Surprisingly, this song had the distinct effect of making my day...well....lovely. 

I was driving to work one day last week, in heavy traffic. I have mentioned before, perhaps a few times, how bad traffic is. A normal 20 minute drive takes me 40 or 45 minutes during rush hours. I was getting more and more irritated, going 4 miles per hour, then 12, then 4, then stop. Oh, and excuse me I was leaving space between vehicles, not saying please cut me off. Geeze. And then this song came on.

Well, it was just a lovely song really. So mellow. It has quite a nice message too. I mean how sweet the lyrics are! Just lovely.

By the time I got to work, it actually WAS a lovely day. No the traffic didn't get better. My mood did. I was noticeably in a better mood, humming along this quite , well frankly quite repetitive, song.  After so many lovely days you just start having a lovely day! Just goes to show you, we can change our moods and perspectives. Sometimes all it takes is a lovely song.  

Hopefully this song can get you through this Monday - it sure does get stuck in your head. (over and over lovely day, lovely day, lovely day) Plus - the longest sustained note ever recorded in an American pop song is in this song - 18 seconds! 

That is hard to sing along with, particularly when your yelling at the car that just cut you off.
