This is the first day of my life
Swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach

Yours was the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
And I don't know where I am, I don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go

And so I thought I'd let you know
Yeah, these things take forever, I especially am slow
But I realized that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning?
And I thought it was strange, you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up

And you said
"This is the first day of my life
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you
But now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy"

So if you wanna be with me
With these things there's no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery, ah-ha, mm-hmm

Besides, maybe this time is different
I mean, I really think you like me

I’m gay and I used to listen to this song all the time as a kid. My dad loved this album and bought me a CD of it for my birthday. I always listened to this song in the dark and think about my crush around middle school and early high school. Now it just makes me happy. I always imagine playing this song at my wedding with the man of my dreams.

Me and my dog listened to this as we drove 259 miles back from the farm I picked him up from when he was 2 months old. He is 14 now and all the time that has passed makes this song more relevant to our lives together. I listen to this with him snuggled next to me and I think about how much I owe him for the blind trust he gave me. We have a lifetime of memories together and this song will always be a reminder of where those memories started.

My first bf attempted suicide shortly before we started talking. He always said after that dark time I was the sunshine that came to save him. He's been gone 10 years now from seizing in his sleep, a few months after we decided to be friends. He was in my life for 2 years. He helped me be comfortable in my own skin and always listened to me and gave me advice. Especially when I felt the most misunderstood at school and home. How I wish I could hug him one last time and apologize for not appreciatating him more than 17 year old me ever did. You never know who means the most to you until their gone.

What's that got to do with anything. It literally makes no difference. It would be nice if they could tell a nice story to go with the music, but it's a music video. I came here mainly for the music. Not to count the people so I could evaluate how diverse the video is.

Thanks. Precisely the point I was making. We have rules for a reason. Age of consent being one of those. If you ever get a chance research the history of the Pedophile Information Exchange. It's a very discomfiting but important time in this countries social history.

Nathaniel

44w↑4

@Argh I definitely see your point and its completely valid that you brought it up. That any two humans can be attracted to eachother is fact. But it certainly doesnt mean we should force attraction on those that dont need it aka children. Bottom line you can be attracted to a child doesn't mean that children are beings able of consent

Argh

44w↑4

@Nathaniel
Yep, but we have rules in place to stop harm too. People here in Britain forget just influencial the Pedophile Information Exchange was in the 1970s and they used every much the same reasoning you've done to push forward their ideas. Not trying to throw you under a bus, apologies if looks that way, but just saying we need to be watchful always of naive rationales. That's why we have the rules and norms we have, for better or worse.

N.B. I'm a a nonwhite homosexual living in Britain. Take my comment in that context because too many have a propensity to scream slurs nowadays than to compute what's being stated. Take care.

Like many other teenagers, I made the lucky mistake of getting into a relationship with a beautiful girl. Loving is hard, it's really hard. There's so much that I need to fix in me; she also told me that when she decided to break up with me.

I thought that if I loved her enough, if I could help her with anything, we could hurdle over all the obstacles. That should be true right? It's not so black and white after all... It's a messy mix of bright colours.

It's the first day of my life. It's my turn to love me.

The best line is "I'd rather be working for a paycheck than waiting to win the lottery." Everyone who believes in the crap about "soulmates" should keep this line in mind - there isn't one perfect person out there for you, with whom you will be forever happy with no problems. Love is hard work; it's sometimes putting your own feelings aside for the sake of the one you love, it's even (God forbid) being willing to change. Don't stick around in a toxic relationship, of course, but don't bail at the first problem. This is advice from someone who's been married since 1981.

My mom passed away from addiction about half a year ago. after she passed my family and I were rummaging through her belongings, putting the pieces back together and what not. I found one of her journals and it had “the first day of my life” written inside on numerous pages. When I initially heard this song I was dating a girl in highschool. At that time it encapsulated a completely different meaning. Not only is this my first time actually watching the video but the song itself resonates with greater proximity in contrast to highschool me. I can’t relate to being in-love while listening to this song but I do feel the purest intention of love from the marriage of his craft of song and his craft of visuals. I think I understand. Here’s to the first day of my life.

He reached out. He hates me, and that's for all the right reasons, and I will continue to love him. I am grateful to have met such a genuine and beautiful person. It's not a happy ending, but I will forever have all those memories with him that I can cherish. I will also have my regret but, as we well know or should know, we have to pay for most of the mistakes that we make. My biggest mistake was that I did not appreciate, at the time, all the good things he did for me. Kind as he is and always was, he gave me closure. Once again, even though I didn't deserve that. Cherish the ones you love, be kind, genuine, and always consciously appreciate what you have.

My husband put this song on the mix CD he gave me when we first started dating. I could have been killed when a car rear-ended me on my moped a week before we started dating and he came and brought me treats and was just wonderful. When I heard the line that said, "I'm glad I didn't die before I met you" it really resonated and it became our song. I ended up walking down the aisle to an accustic guitar version and our wedding bands have, "This is the first day of my life" inscribed inside. In September, we'll have been together 10 years and going on our third wedding anniversary. Corny, I know, but I pretty much can't hear this song without tearing up, it's the main soundtrack to my life. <3

This is the first day of my life
Swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach

And I don't know where I am, I don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go
And so I thought I'd let you know
Yeah, these things take forever, I especially am slow
But I realized that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home
Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning?
And I thought it was strange, you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said
"This is the first day of my life
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you
But now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy"
So if you wanna be with me

The first time I heard this song, 4 years ago, it instantly became my favorite song and still is to this day. Back then, I was in a relationship with a guy who didn't treat me well. He would always ignore my feelings and just make me feel like I was less of a person than he was. I bawled listening to this for the first time because I felt like I would never experience the kind of love that you can feel in this song/video. Eventually, I finally got the courage to break up with him. Today, I'm approaching two years together with my best friend. He makes me feel this type of love every day. If you're in a similar place that I was: please know that you deserve better. This type of love is out there for you, don't be afraid to go and find it. Only happy tears listening to this song now. :)

I think of my parents when I hear this. My mom loved this song and had never heard of Bright Eyes before, I’d been listening for awhile. At my parents 20th anniversary, they danced to this song. My dad passed away 4 years ago, the year they would’ve had their 25th. I miss him, and she lost almost everything when he passed. I got out of rehab a few days ago, I had been struggling with alcoholism for a few years after his passing. She picked me up, and the first thing she told me was “this is the first day of your life”. It made me think about this song, and how happy I was when I heard it.

Galarza3 she’s happy now, she’s been dating someone for almost a year and I admitted myself into rehab because I got tired of being a worry to her. Things are still rough just because, but we soldier on every day. Thank you for the care ☺️

this is one of my favorite videos. the message to me is just people, stories, and love. Love is impossibly strong, but love is also to surrender your heart and that attaches some sort of weakness to it, in the sense of being so vulnerable. however, I believe thats just the strongest thing you can do.

Um, yeah, but I had the impression that it had been his decision or mutual, and sometimes people do go back and forth before a realization sets in. In any case, I heard it as if going back was an option that he was picking up, based on all the wonderful sentiments he attributed to the relationship.

Seriously? It's totally about a relationship that's over and he's begging to be taken back.

kartoffelsaek

"positive" As in it's about the fun stuff of love, not the agony that follows a failed relationship. Entry way song has good lyrics, but the song itself is not as good as this one i think. And it's cool we can still be friends is not positive at all. It's a bitter song, that's amazing because of that.
Art is subjective, and for me this is a song that describes the good feeling of love perfectly for me.

Luca Pelo

6y↑9

Are you kidding? This isn't even Conor's best love song, much less the best love song of ALL TIME. Listen to Entry Way Song, or Its Cool, We Can Still Be Friends. They aren't on iTunes but they are on YouTube or on the vinyl version of Noise Floor. Two incredible songs. Who knows, you might change your mind
