Song of the day- Wonderwall
I'm posting extra early today as I picked up a later shift, however I still set my alarm this morning so I could snag tickets to see Today's artist with Jenny Lewis. Because I have certain priorities in my life, sleep often being very low and Lewis always being at the top. But my new found adoration for today's artist makes this concert possibly one I'm most excited about this year. Still on the top of his most popular songs on Spotify is today's song, for good reason. A) It's a classic B) He was nominated for a Grammy for it C) even Noel Gallagher of Oasis once said of Wonderwall, "I never got my head round this song until I went to [see] Ryan Adams play and he did an amazing cover of it."
We all know how much I love good covers and if I did a list of the greatest covers of all time, this might just top it. It takes a pop song and turns it into a melodic haunting plea. One that can spook anyone in it's path. Tis the season for a little haunting.
Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna give it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
Backbeat the word is on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead the way are blinding
There are many things that I
Would like to say to you
But I don't know how
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never bring it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead the way are blinding
There are many things that I
would like to say to you
But I don't know how
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
You're my wonderwall
You're my wonderwall
