A Foggy Day
Angela Morley And Her Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Out of town were the people I knew
I had that feeling of self-pity
What to do, what to do, what to do
The outlook was decidedly blue
But as I walked through the foggy streets alone
It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known
A foggy day, in London town
Had me low, had me down
I viewed the morning, with much alarm
British Museum, had lost its charm
How long I wondered,
Could this thing last
But the age of miracles, hadn't past
For suddenly, I saw you there
And through foggy London town,
The sun was shining everywhere
For suddenly, I saw you there
And through foggy London town,
The sun was shining everywhere
Everywhere
Everywhere
Everywhere
The lyrics of Angela Morley And Her Orchestra's song A Foggy Day is a captivating piece that describes the feeling of being alone and unsure, specifically in the city of London during a foggy day. The lyrics suggest that the singer was feeling lost in the city, disconnected from the people they knew, and had started to feel sorry for themselves. The British Museum, which they apparently visited as part of an attempt to lift their spirits, had lost its charm. However, as they walked alone through the foggy streets, something magical happened, and everything changed. Suddenly they saw someone they knew, and the sun started shining through the fog.
The lyrics are a metaphor for how life can be hard and frustrating sometimes. It shows that we can feel lost, disconnected, and unsure of what to do next. However, sometimes, unexpected things can happen, and life can turn around in an instant. It's a reminder to keep going, even when things seem hard, because things can change, and life will surprise you.
