These Are The Days
Cullum Jamie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give me the taste
Give me the joy of summer wine
These are the days that bring new meaning
I feel the stillness of the sun
And I feel fine.
Sometimes when the nights are closing early
Even though now you don't want to know me
I get on by, and I go the extra mile.
These are the times of love and meaning
Ice of the heart melted away and found the light
These are the days of endless dreaming
Troubles of life are floating away like a bird in flight.
These are the days that I've been missing
Give me the taste give me the joy of summer wine
These are the days that bring new meaning
I feel the stillness of the sun and I feel fine

I'm 14 and I grew up listening to music like this and I dont understand how some people can prefer modern day "pop/hiphop" crap to this. Jazz is the most pure, joyful sounding music and will never be replaced by anything. I really appreciate artists like Jamie Cullum who keep it alive. Thank You Jamie!

This song takes me back to the year 2004. My ex wife and I had just moved to Pennsylvania from Texas. Life was great. Two years later, we were divorcing after 16 years of marriage. I listened to this album all the time during that part of my life. All of the emotions that I felt at that time come flooding back to me when I hear any of the tracks from that album.
