When Jon mastered eJay he wanted a new fresh challenge, he was tired of the drag & drop system. He wanted to create his own unique 'Sound'.
Jon started of with Reason 2.5 then, as Axel & Sebastian recommended. {Sebastian is a part of the now famous Selu Vibra & Under Sun}. He was really anxious to learn the basics of the great software, called 'Reason'. First time he opened it, he just closed it again.
But he didn't give up of course, it took him about 4 months to finally master the basics of Reason 2.5. And it was then he also made his first track. Now the time has passed from the early days of producing and Jon has evolved into a great talented producer. Working with some top notch producers.
December 2006 he signed a deal with a new born label called 'Daif Records', which is run by Joakim Daif, a very motivated producer/label manager.
a beautiful day
Dan-J Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Confidence was drowned
Unoriginal like man I can't find my sound
Not throwing my best stuff, stepping on the mound
Tryna make a liven selling quarter pounds
No McDonalds
Unhappy no Ronald McDonald
I was such a clown never looking up always looking down
In the doghouse like the Cleveland Browns
Should I just leave town
Be another person, used like another noun
Always getting baked like a potato till it Browns
At the lowest of lows, like when am I gonna bounce up
Smoking through an ounce
I didn't give a fuck
I wasn't quick to pounce
Doubting myself I continued to denounce
My abilities and all the possibilities around
It's a beautiful day
Such a beautiful day, hey
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day, hey
Don't let it get away
Oh man look at me now
You never did believe
Now you looking like wow
Full of disbelief like you can't believe how
I started from the bottom and took a quantum leap, pow
Discouraged by probabilities
My potential untapped now I realize capabilities
The power of faith helped through the weight
Time waits for on no one, do not procrastinate
Look inside yourself make ambition activate
Follow your own path let your heart navigate
Don't lie to your soul facts, you cannot fabricate
Life's unpredictable, that you cannot calculate
Checkmate, sometimes in life you get beaten put your pride away
Take the lessons from God that he conveys
Live in the moment not in the days
We aren't guaranteed to stay
The next we can be away, truth
It's a beautiful day
Such a beautiful day, hey
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day, hey
Don't let it get away
In these lyrics, Dan-J reflects on his journey of self-discovery and personal growth. He talks about his past struggles with low self-confidence and a lack of direction in life. He mentions his tendency to use drugs as a coping mechanism and his feeling of being stuck in a rut. However, with time and faith, he overcomes these challenges and realizes his untapped potential. He encourages listeners to follow their own path and not let opportunities pass them by, as life is unpredictable and time waits for no one.
Throughout the song, Dan-J uses powerful metaphors and imagery to convey his message. For example, he compares himself to a baseball pitcher who wasn't throwing his best stuff and a clown always looking down. These metaphors help listeners visualize Dan-J's struggles and make the message more relatable. The chorus, "It's a beautiful day, hey, don't let it get away," serves as a reminder to appreciate life in the moment and not take it for granted.
In summary, "A Beautiful Day" is a song about personal growth and overcoming obstacles to realize one's potential. It encourages listeners to live in the moment and seize opportunities.
