Song — Days Like This
July 26th, 2008It seemed time for an uncomplicated pop song (not that any of my songs are super complex in the first place). But in this nice little package you get everything you’re looking for in a standard radio friendly pop song (does anyone listen to the radio anymore?):
- boy and girl meet, wrong thing feels right, turns out to be right thing after all (Standard Love Song Theme #237)
- under three minutes
- easy to remember repeating chorus lyric that’s also the title of the song
- chorus goes up a whole step for the big finish
- doubled guitar goes up a third in final chorus
Let me tell you people… you can’t ask for more from a pop song. We’ve spared no expense. And this baby comes with the undercoating for free! Take her for a test drive.

I can’t believe nobody comments on these.
I’m starting to really like the phrase “you’re in my airspace.”

who says no one comments on your songs?? Lol.
Btw, the first few measures of the song were a blast from the past…the end of Rickshaw
You are channeling HoneySpots in this song, no doubt.
I love it, much simpler, shows off your voice very well. Now we just need you to do one with just you and a piano
Did you listen to Maroon 5 Sunday Morning yet?
