Such A Remarkable Day (Official
Charlotte Gainsbourg Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Such a remarkable day
We're friendly thanks to you
If I don't blow its way
Every prediction coming through

These floods on our hands are the way
How can we ever pay our due
Present a cry or a sigh
Momentum in, could you say
You're broken bad, cut the sky
An extraordinary way

The truth of that which is you

Such a remarkable day
How did you choose this Wednesday
I'm back by your side, I came through

Our deepest sympathy
Till they've found the dream
All our compassion ain't no misery
Oh, she was carried in ecstasy
Come, we've been fired
They should rest in peace

Such a remarkable day
How did you choose this Wednesday
To back on your side, here through

Such a remarkable day




How did you choose this Wednesday
To back by your side, I always knew

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Charlotte Gainsbourg's song "Such A Remarkable Day" are a beautiful and introspective look at the complexities of human relationships and emotions. The first stanza seems to be expressing gratitude to someone for making the day better, and perhaps even lessening anxiety or worry. The floods on our hands are symbolic of the overwhelming emotions that we sometimes experience, while the idea of paying our due suggests that we may also sometimes feel guilty or as though we are undeserving of happiness.


The second stanza is somewhat cryptic, but seems to be suggesting that there is both joy and pain in the world, and that our emotions can often be all-encompassing. The phrase "cut the sky" could be interpreted as an acknowledgement that our emotions can sometimes feel as though they are cutting through the very fabric of our being. The truth of that which is you could be interpreted in many ways, but perhaps suggests that our true selves can be found in our deepest emotions and desires.


The final stanza seems to express a sense of loyalty and devotion to someone, despite the difficulties of life. The line "till they've found the dream" could refer to the idea that we keep supporting those we care about until they achieve their aspirations or resolve their problems. Overall, the song is a poignant celebration of human emotion and the way that we interact with one another.

[Verse 1]
Such a remarkable day
All for me, thanks to you
A violent blow on it's way
Every prediction coming true

[Hook]
There’s blood on your hands either way
How can we ever pay your due?

[Verse 2]
Was it a cry or a sigh?
A mental ill, could you say?
Your broken bird cut the sky
An extraordinary way
Truth or dare, which is you?

[Chorus]
Such a remarkable day
How did you choose this Wednesday?
The bird by your side, he flew

[Bridge]
Our deepest sympathy to the family
All our compassion may know misery
Hope she was carried in ecstasy
Calmly defiant, may she rest in peace

[Chorus]
Such a remarkable day
How did you choose this Wednesday?
The bird by your side, he flew

[Chorus 2]
Such a remarkable day
How did you choose this Wednesday?
The bird by your side always knew

@irenemeyniercouturier1487

Exactement

@mnop7877

This song gives me back the entire atmosphere of an era, reinvented through a veil of a dreamy, nostalgic sound. Well played indeed

@nataliaribeiro5573

Fan depuis plus de 30ans... un bonheur de la voir en concert a Madrid!!! je ne veux pas attendre 30 ans pour le prochain!!!

@lemurdreamur9257

There is something about this sound I'm just so in love with!!!

@anaelhonings8683

Le dernier album était une merveille! Sur scène, une intense émotion (les reprises de ses chansons d'adolescente en versions adultes m'ont donné des frissons! Il FAUT sortir un album live de cette tournée!) ce single est magnifique, la grande classe et j'attends la suite avec impatience! We love you, Charlotte! (un fan belge)

@jgmancs

Un concert excellent en effet, je suis reste" collé " pendant une bonne semaine ensuite

@kahlidwoods3287

Sooooo good!!! Felt like I was on stage with 'em there for a minute. Excellent work... cheers!

@Emily-eh5bq

This song would have been a huge hit in the 80's.
