Bad Day--Daniel Powter

Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to gray
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee you go





You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces every time
And I don't need no carryin' on

Because you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Will you need a blue sky holiday?
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on

You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day

(Oooh.. a holiday..)

Sometimes the system goes on the bling
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong

(yeah...)

So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day






My Comment：
這首歌和You're Beautiful、Listen To Your Heart，有著我和Teddy、Richard(如果要仔細算，算一點給Karen)，那段開著車在Iowa City閒晃的一些回憶。如果你真想想像這一個畫面，那就是雷同"心靈捕手"這部電影中，麥特戴蒙、班艾佛列克，開著破車，每天無所事事的那種感覺。我們幾個就想電影中的他們一樣，下課後便開著車在公路上沒有目的地走著。這首歌在當時，幾乎等同她們的國歌，電台天天播，誇張的說，幾乎依小時撥一次。
後來我們三個在課程結束後分開了。我在Teddy回台灣參加他姐姐的婚禮時，離開Iowa前往Las Vegas，到加州找智雄，最後飛到Kentucky---肯德基的故鄉。而在我離開Iowa那天，因為與Richard有點意見上的衝突，所以他也沒送我機。大家就這麼分開了。人生就這麼妙。

在LasVegas，賭場裡又聽到Band在這這首歌，那是很諷刺的畫面(一堆人在賭，你在唱Bad Day)。隔天，我撞了車。

如果說，要我選幾首歌，代表我在美國的時間，那便是Green Day的Boulevard of Broken Dreams和這首歌。那是一種很奇怪的感覺，每當我聽到Bad Day的時候。一種虛無、飄渺的感覺，不知道接下來要做什麼的感覺，卻又帶有很強的友誼的感覺。
