In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
A new day has come
A new day has come
I was waiting for so long
For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on and don't shed a tear
Through the darkness and good times
I knew I'd make it through
And the world thought I had it all
But I was waiting for you
Hush, now
I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears (drown my fears)
Let it shatter the walls for a new sun
A new day has come
A new day has come
Where it was dark, now there's light
Where there was pain, now there's joy
Where there was weakness, I found my strength
All in the eyes of a boy
Hush, now
I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears (and drown my fears)
Let it shatter the walls for a new sun
A new day has come
A new day has come
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears (and drown my fears)
Let it shatter the walls for a new sun
A new day has come
A new day has come
Hush, now
I see a light in your eyes
All in the eyes of a boy (a new day)
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love (a new day)
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love (a new day, a new day)
Hush, now (a new day)
Let the rain come down (a new day)
Let the rain come down
A new day has come
I was waiting for so long
For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on and don't shed a tear
Through the darkness and good times
I knew I'd make it through
And the world thought I had it all
But I was waiting for you
Hush, now
I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears (drown my fears)
Let it shatter the walls for a new sun
A new day has come
A new day has come
Where it was dark, now there's light
Where there was pain, now there's joy
Where there was weakness, I found my strength
All in the eyes of a boy
Hush, now
I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears (and drown my fears)
Let it shatter the walls for a new sun
A new day has come
A new day has come
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears (and drown my fears)
Let it shatter the walls for a new sun
A new day has come
A new day has come
Hush, now
I see a light in your eyes
All in the eyes of a boy (a new day)
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love (a new day)
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love (a new day, a new day)
Hush, now (a new day)
Let the rain come down (a new day)
Let the rain come down

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
No Surprises
Radiohead

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
If my memory serves me correctly, I believe this song was written for her new born baby... I love this song so much... it's beautiful and her voice is angelic...;)
This song fucking rocks! She is like a fucking angel man! This song really soothes me down. It takes me down to earth and makes me feel happy! These other songs out their make you want to kill someone LOL :D
uhh.. rite .. =| how abt u leave now..? awesome song.. i dont know, it just makes me feel all happy. the music and wording so suits the entire thing. love it ! =.(
wow this song is so beautiful!
I love this song. <3 However, contrary to what people are saying on here, this song was not written by Celine Dion. It was written by Aldo Nova and Stephan Moccio. <br /> Celine doesn't write her songs; she just sings songs that other people write.
I love this song! It touches me to keep on with life and stop thinking about the past.
this is just my favorite
Good Song!!! i love Carissa and i just thought that this song decribes our relationship. i mean what the hey, a new day will come till the last day of my life. no matter how bad it gets i will go on and it might be with her and it might not be.
He he. . .definitely by Celine Dion. ::Don't kill me!::
I'm really not a Celine fan at all. Like, I just don't think that she's anything special. I do, however, love this song. Something about it just makes me smile and feel all warm and fuzzy.
great song..my great gf carol dedicated it to me,and i loved it...a song which has such a profound meaning..and it connects to us..i aint a dion fan,but i respect this song
