These Days
Brian Kennedy feat. Ronan Keating Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These days
I've been feeling lucky
Looking all around me
I see so many dreams
That have come true
Like me right next to you,
Like the angels pulling through
Only just begun
Ronan
Someone to come home
To each and every night
All of my tomorrow's are
Finally looking bright, over
I won't rush it,
Why would I dare
Nothing could compare
Both
To the way
I've been feeling
These days
They are the best
I've ever had
And they have
Only just begun
Here we are
We're so connected
Like a moon is
To the sun
I never thought
I'd feel this way
'Cause all I ever wanted,
Were these days
Ronan
If I could, I'd try to
Freeze the moment
Set aside the future,
Stay right here,
Right now
Sometime, woah,
Fly like the flame
That never dies
Like the love
That's in your eyes
These days,
Have only just begun
Brian
Something to believe in
When the world
Is going mad
Ronan
When the rain is
Crashing down girl
It doesn't seem so bad
Doesn't seem so bad
Brian
I won't rush it
Ronan
No, why would I dare
Both
Nothing could compare
To the way
I've been feeling
Repeat They are the best
I've ever had
And they have
Only just begun
Here we are
We're so connected
Like a moon is
To the sun
Brian
I never thought
I'd feel this
Ronan
I never thought
I'd feel this way, baby
Brian
In fact it happens
When I pray
Both
'Cause all I ever
Really wanted
Were these days
All I ever really wanted
All I ever really wanted
Was
These days
All I ever really wanted
All I ever really wanted
Was
These days
All I ever really wanted
All I ever really wanted
Was
These days
All I ever really wanted
All I ever really wanted
Was
These days
The song These Days by Brian Kennedy feat. Ronan Keating is a beautiful ode to love and appreciation for the present moment. The song starts with Brian sharing how he has been feeling lucky lately, and how he sees so many dreams coming true, including being with the person he loves. He talks about how these days have only just begun, and there is so much to look forward to. Ronan chimes in and shares how having someone to come home to every night is making all his tomorrows look bright. The two sing about how they won't rush the present moment and won't dare to compare it to anything else, as these days are the best they've ever had.
The chorus talks about how the two are connected, like the moon and the sun, and they never thought they'd feel this way. They sing about freezing the moment and staying in the present because it's so beautiful. The song talks about having something to believe in when the world is going mad, and Ronan assures his partner that even when it's raining, he feels like everything is okay, now that he has found love. The song then ends on a hopeful, yet grateful note with the repeating of the phrase, "All I ever really wanted were these days."
In summary, These Days is a song that reminds us to appreciate the present moment, and cherish the love that we have in our lives. The song is a beautiful collaboration between Brian Kennedy and Ronan Keating, and their voices complement each other perfectly, making this an emotional and heartfelt track.

These days
Recently
I've been feeling lucky
I feel fortunate in life
Looking all around me
Observing my environment
I see so many dreams
I witness many aspirations
That have come true
That have become a reality
Like me right next to you
Being near you feels surreal
Like the angels pulling through
It feels like divine intervention
These days have
This recent time
Only just begun
Has just started
Someone to come home
A significant other to return to
To each and every night
Every evening
All of my tomorrow's are
My future seems promising
Finally looking bright, over
Brighter and better days are ahead
I won't rush it,
I will take my time
Why would I dare
What reason do I have to hurry?
Nothing could compare
It doesn't get any better than this
To the way I've been feeling
To my current emotions
These days
Recently
They are the best
These are the best times
I've ever had
I've never had it so good
And they have
And these times
Only just begun
Are just getting started
Here we are
We are together
We're so connected
We have strong ties
Like a moon is
Similar to how the moon
To the sun
Is to the sun
I never thought
I did not anticipate
I'd feel this way
That I would experience these sentiments
'Cause all I ever wanted,
Because everything I desired
Were these days
Are these recent times
If I could, I'd try to
I would attempt to
Freeze the moment
Make time stand still
Set aside the future,
Forget about what is to come
Stay right here,
Remain in this moment
Right now
Currently
Sometime, woah,
Sometimes
Fly like the flame
To move quickly and freely
That never dies
That endures forever
Like the love
Similar to our affection
That's in your eyes
That I see in your gaze
Something to believe in
A belief or conviction
When the world
During global events
Is going mad
Seems to be losing its mind
When the rain is
During precipitation
Crashing down girl
When it's pouring heavily
It doesn't seem so bad
It's not as terrible as it appears
In fact it happens
In fact, it occurs
When I pray
When I supplicate to God
'Cause all I ever really wanted
Because everything I truly desired
Was these days
Are these recent times
All I ever really wanted
My true desire
All I ever really wanted
My ultimate aspiration
Was these days
Are these recent times
All I ever really wanted
My deepest yearning
All I ever really wanted
My strongest wish
Was these days
Are these recent times
