The title "Every Day"(2006) on the album Street Smarts exactly alike in titles (when read) with the other Incognito's famous tune "Everyday"(1995). They are often tagged totec radio. Also mis-tagged by fans as bluey where there's no link to Jean-Paul "Bluey" Maunick himself. r00ts & t4lk1n l0ud tags also used, that could mislead fans to the Bluey's famous tunes like "Roots" & "Talkin' Loud".

Incognito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you could take a peek inside my head you'd wonder
Always full of thought, always trying to figure out the very meaning of life
I go from day to day, and yeah I have some bad days
You're probably not a stranger to them too
But more and more I get a feeling, an awakening, its unexplainable
and it takes the fear away
‘cos I decided to find the peace inside, rearrange my mind
I find a freedom when I try to see that there's more to life
It helps me make it through the day…
I see the sun, it shines a little brighter today
‘cos I decided to find the peace inside, rearrange my mind
I find a freedom when I try to see that there's more to life
It helps me make it through the day…
I'm so sensitive, so emotional
I let the sadness creep inside sometimes
I lose myself in doubt, always trying to figure out the meaning of my life
I'm only human and I've got to know those days are ok
There's a blessing called a point of view
If I allow it to relax my vibe and take it light
I don't have to be afraid, no, no, no
I see the sun, it shines a little brighter today
‘cos I decided to find the peace inside, rearrange my mind
I find a freedom when I try to see that there's more to life
It helps me make it through the day…
I see the sun, it shines a little brighter today
‘cos I decided to find the peace inside, rearrange my mind
I find a freedom when I try to see that there's more to life
It helps me make it through the day…
Ooooh there's more...
(I feel the sun on my windowpane and it feels so good, yeah)
I see the sun, it shines a little brighter today
‘cos I decided to find the peace inside, rearrange my mind
I find a freedom when I try to see that there's more to life
It helps me make it through the day…
More.
