A pointless stream of consciousness that works :)
This song has all the qualities of truly pure singer-songwriting. It is the perfectly mundane and pointless account of a young kid sitting in his room, learning how to play guitar, and essentially describing his day. It whines, it crackles, it pauses awkwardly and then resumes its basic acoustic plodding. And it works. It's genuine. I suspect those who enjoy attending countless open mics in coffee shops, and sitting around campfires plucking melodies on guitars, will love the simple and true-natured spirit of this little song. I'm not sure if I'd call it a catchy melody, but hell, it gets the job done.
"Although today was not the day
I could say was good
it gradually came around
until I found myself
lying on the floor,
Just staring at the ceiling
obviously there was nothing else to do.
Then I found myself on the porch
Not really doing anything
Just thinking and singing songs
in my head.
And oh, what a day it’s been.
20% chance of rain and I’ve
never seen a storm like this.
And oh what a day it’s been.
20% chance of rain and I’ve
never seen a storm like this."
