(Something Good EP)

Lala lala-la
Lala lala-la
Lala lala-la

Lala lala-la
Lala lala-la
Lala lala-la

There's nothing like a cool autumn breeze
Sending the past up with the leaves
Watching all the clothes on the line
In a sidestepping dance
With the neighbouring trees

Lala lala-la
Lala lala-la
Lala lala-la

There's nothing like an echoing hole
A headrush of sky
A knock at the door
A message on your voicemail tonight
The answering-machine taking the calls

It's an honest mistake
Falling in love
At any given time
We could get carried away
It could've happen to anyone

On a day like today
A Day like today
On a day like today
Day like today

Day like today
On a day like today
A day like today

There's nothing like a cool autumn breeze
Sending the past up with the leaves
Watching all the clothes on the line
In a sidestepping dance
With the neighbouring trees

It's an honest mistake
Falling in love
At any given time
We could get carried away
It could've happen to anyone

On a day like today
A Day like today
On a day like today
Day like today





Day like today
On a day like today

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bic Runga's song A Day Like Today are a reflective ode towards taking time to appreciate the small things in life. The opening lines of the song repeat the nonsensical phrase "Lala lala-la" which is a universally understood expression of joy or contentment. The following lines present the image of a cool autumn breeze sending the past up with the leaves and clothes on the line performing a sidestepping dance with the neighbouring trees. The imagery here highlights the idea of change and the natural cycles of life.


The second half of the song discusses the surprise of falling in love and the sense of vulnerability it brings with it. The lines "It's an honest mistake falling in love, at any given time, we could get carried away, it could've happened to anyone" suggest that love can be unpredictable and can happen to anyone. The repetition of the phrase "On a day like today" serves to emphasize the sense of spontaneity and the way in which love can take us by surprise.


Overall, A Day Like Today encourages us to appreciate the beauty of the natural world, to be open to the unexpected and to embrace the wonder of falling in love.
