I love the day
'I Love The Day' was originally a instrumental track about how fast moments become memories, and those memories fade into a blurred past. I was looking for a feeling, not a style or instrument. I got most of the work done in the studio in one day but I knew it was missing something. Months passed and then I remembered a quote from my grandfather that I had recorded 5 years ago when it had struck me while watching a family home VHS tape.
It was a home video from my 5th birthday on July 21st, 2003 and my family (grandparents, uncles, siblings, parents) is just sitting on the deck, talking about life. My mom pans the camera over to my grandfather and asks the usual, "what do you have to say Grandpa Jim?". He responds, a twinkle in his eye: "I love the day, and I would just say, it doesn't get any better than this". Immediately when I heard this I knew that I needed to immortalize his memory and happiness in a song. Grandpa Jim loved life and was not only one of the kindest and most caring individuals I've known, but also one of the strongest.
This is a song for him and his reminder that we should love each day for the simple pleasures they hold...
