Isn't This A Lovely Day
Brian Kellock Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The weather is frightening.
The thunder and lightning
Seem to be having their way.
But as far as I'm concerned, it's a lovely day.
The turn in the weather
Will keep us together
So I can honestly say,
That as far as I'm concerned, it's a lovely day

And everything's okay.

Isn't this a lovely day to be caught in the rain.
You were going on your way, now you've got to remain.

Just as you were going, leaving me all at sea,
The clouds broke, they broke and oh what a break for me.

I can see the sun up high, though we're caught in a storm.
I can see where you and I could be cozy and warm.

Let the rain pitter patter
But it really doesn't matter

If the skies are gray.
Long as I can be with you, it's a lovely day.

Overall Meaning

The song "Isn't This A Lovely Day" by American composer Irving Berlin and jazz pianist Brian Kellock is a testament to the power of positivity even in the midst of unsettled circumstances. The lyrics open with a description of a stormy weather, with the thunder and lightning seemingly having their way. Yet, the singer asserts that as far as he or she is concerned, it is still a lovely day. The turn in the weather is deemed necessary to keep the couple together, which the singer is grateful for. The song is characterized by optimism and a joyful outlook that no matter the situation, all will be okay.

The second verse focused more on the romantic aspects of the song. The lovers' paths intersect unexpectedly, catching them in the rain. The weather that would typically ruin any mood for romantic pursuit provides an opportunity for two to warm up to each other. The sun peeks through the clouds, making them envision a cozy and warm future together. The rain tapping on the roof is a non-issue for the lovers, as long as they have each other.
