These Are The Days Lyrics
These are the days
These are days you'll remember.
Never before and never since,
I promise, will the whole world be warm as this.
And as you feel it, you'll know it's true that you are blessed and lucky.
It's true that you are touched by something that will grow and bloom in you.
These are days you'll remember.
When May is rushing over you with desire to be part of the miracles you see in every hour. You'll know it's true that you are blessed and lucky.
It's true that you are touched by something that will grow and bloom in you.
These are days.
These are the days you might fill with laughter until you break.
These days you might feel a shaft of light make its way across your face.
And when you do you'll know how it was meant to be.
See the signs and know their meaning.
It's true, you'll know how it was meant to be.
Hear the signs and know they're speaking to you, to you.
These are days you'll remember.
Never before and never since,
I promise, will the whole world be warm as this.
And as you feel it, you'll know it's true that you are blessed and lucky.
It's true that you are touched by something that will grow and bloom in you.
When May is rushing over you with desire to be part of the miracles you see in every hour. You'll know it's true that you are blessed and lucky.
It's true that you are touched by something that will grow and bloom in you.
These are the days you might fill with laughter until you break.
These days you might feel a shaft of light make its way across your face.
And when you do you'll know how it was meant to be.
See the signs and know their meaning.
It's true, you'll know how it was meant to be.
Hear the signs and know they're speaking to you, to you.

This is the fruit of all the meaning of life. Somethilng 'will grow inside you' -highschoolers beware...she's talking about being pregnant. For it's beauty and life. The end.
To me this song makes me think of high school and all the good times that you have with your friends. You don't realize it, but these days don't last and you have to enjoy them before it's too late.
"These Are Days" is about living in the moment, no matter where you are. Unless you're doing that, you won't see the signs and know their meaning. That will only come when you can separate yourself from your worries of the future or lamentations of the past.
OMG! I think it's an "a-ha moment"!! That makes total and perfect sense!!! THANK YOU! :)

The first 10,000 Maniacs song I ever heard...and loved it immediately. It's about loving and appreciating life and all its glory, and how every day is a miracle if you let it be and can see life that way. One of the many great songs written by 10,000 Maniacs.
This is a carefree song. Live in the present moment and enjoy everything you have!! ^_^
Beatiful song. Left open to interpretation. It explains itself. These are the days of your life. Love them and cherish them. Live for today and try to achieve understanding and happiness, because this is your only chance.
I always thought of this song as pentacostal in it's message, but that fits more to what it meant to me when I first heard it, not Natalie. Aside from the obvious lyrics that tie to this subject, May is right after April (Easter) which on a timeline would be the time of Pentacost. I could see other responses meeting the true intent from Natalie Merchant's pespective. She may well be a Christian though.
This song is actually called "These are Days", not "These are the Days".
