How the Day Sounds Lyrics
Who would've ever known it could be this easy
Oh, I was a long, long way off
And just like that it's over
Everything that I knew of love
I was a long, long way off
And I think I like how the day sounds
Like how the day sounds through this new song
Thank you for opening the window
The sky is clear as my mind is now
I was a long, long way off
Join me in welcoming the sun in
It's much brighter than the night I hid in
I was a long, long way off
And I think I like how the day sounds
Like how the day sounds through this new song
From a long way down
Yeah, it's well worth the time that it's taken to get here now
Yeah, it's well worth the time that it's taken to get here now
So go ahead and bang a gong
Nothing can drown out the sound of the whisper of my love
And I think I like how the day sounds through this new song
And the lines have all been drawn
I know where I belong, where I belong
Oh, won't you sing along?
Oh my love, won't you sing along?
Oh, I was a long, long way off
Everything that I knew of love
I was a long, long way off
Like how the day sounds through this new song
The sky is clear as my mind is now
I was a long, long way off
It's much brighter than the night I hid in
I was a long, long way off
Like how the day sounds through this new song
Yeah, it's well worth the time that it's taken to get here now
Yeah, it's well worth the time that it's taken to get here now
Nothing can drown out the sound of the whisper of my love
I know where I belong, where I belong
Oh my love, won't you sing along?

I don't find it uninspired at all.
I think it has everything to do with a new relationship and realizing what you thought was "love" in the past was completely off base.
I am COMPLETELY inspired! I feel as if I belong! I want to sing along. What a beautiful tune. I am soooo pleased to have discovered this.

Brilliant.
i think it's his way of coming alive after being left stale by love and life for so long. realizing, as katie said that what he knew of life and love was not "real". another fantastic song by greg. and the video is just spot-on!
The music video for this song is terrific. The simple but amazing camera work is simply breathtaking.
So far I've interpreted:
He realizes what love means to him. What every day means to him through this new perspective in life. He thanks his girlfriend for opening the window. He can see clearly now and sees he was hiding in the dark, in essence hiding from love.
Nothing can change how he feels about her. ( the reference of banging a gong ) He then asks her to sing with him at the end of the song. Asking her to spend the rest of her life with him.
I Love This Long.
i love greg laswell. all his songs are just absolutely brilliant. I love the song high and low. Its one of those songs that make you want to cry. It's funny because there are many songs that do that when you listen to the lyrics, but the first time i heard that song i was sooo fascinated by the comination of his voice and the music i wanted to cry regardless. Amazing artist!
sorry about the typo "combination"
The meaning of the song is pretty obvious (rebirth from a failure of sorts at something/everything), but the song is very beautiful, if a bit uninspired.
