Beautiful Day
Nilsen Kurt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shoots up through the stony ground
But there's no room
No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend to take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace
It's a beautiful day, the sky falls
You feel like it's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if it doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by clouds
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouins fires at night
See the oil fields at first sight
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out
It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
You don't need it now, you don't need it now
It's a beautiful day!!

Line by Line Meaning
The heart is a bloom
Love is a blooming feeling
Shoots up through the stony ground
Love can come out of nowhere and can grow anywhere
But there's no room
Sometimes there isn't enough space for love in our lives
No space to rent in this town
Love can be hard to come by in certain places or times
You're out of luck
Sometimes, despite our efforts, we still can't find love
And the reason that you had to care
Love is worth caring for, even though it can be difficult
The traffic is stuck
There are obstacles that can prevent us from finding love
And you're not moving anywhere
These obstacles can make it feel like we're not making progress in our search for love
You thought you'd found a friend to take you out of this place
At times, we may mistake friendship for love and hope they can help us escape our problems
Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace
We may also hope that our actions towards others can lead to them showing us love in return
It's a beautiful day, the sky falls
Even when things seem to be falling apart around us, there's still beauty to be found in life
You feel like it's a beautiful day
Our mindset can influence how we perceive the world around us
Don't let it get away
We should cherish moments of beauty and love when they come our way
You're on the road
Life is a journey
But you've got no destination
Sometimes we don't know where we're headed in life
You're in the mud
Life can sometimes be difficult and messy
In the maze of her imagination
We can get lost in our thoughts and doubts about love
You love this town
We can have affection for things or people even if they're imperfect
Even if it doesn't ring true
Our feelings of love and attachment can sometimes defy logic
You've been all over
We may have had many experiences and been to many places
And it's been all over you
These experiences have shaped who we are
See the world in green and blue
We should appreciate the beauty of the world around us
See China right in front of you
The world is vast and there's so much to see
See the canyons broken by clouds
Nature can be awe-inspiring and humbling
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
Humans are capable of changing the world around them, for better or worse
See the Bedouins fires at night
There's beauty and life outside of our own experiences
See the oil fields at first sight
We're capable of exploiting the world around us in selfish ways
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
Even small things in nature can be beautiful and meaningful
After the flood all the colors came out
Beauty can sometimes be found in the aftermath of destruction or struggle
Touch me
We crave physical touch and affection
Take me to that other place
We sometimes desire escape from our current situation
Teach me
We're always learning and growing
I know I'm not a hopeless case
We should maintain hope even when things are tough
What you don't have you don't need it now
Sometimes what we think we need isn't really necessary in the moment
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
We can sense things without fully understanding them
You don't need it now, you don't need it now
We should focus on what we do have rather than what we lack
It's a beautiful day!!
Life is beautiful and full of possibilities

The tone, the power, the range, the texture, the clarity, the falsetto. EVERYTHING about Kurt's voice is just PERFECT
@suigeneris6397
I remember this like it was yesterday. I remember one of the judges saying he looked like a hobbit lol. He is absolutely one of the best male vocalists I've ever heard.

"You have the voice of an angel and the face of a hobbit" - Ian 'Dicko' Dickson (Australian Idol judge)
@raiyaazanza
i watched World Idol back in 2004, we thought Kelly had in the bag, when this guys start singing we were like oh my gad!! he is the best
@malemanjulpax2155
+Michael Norris hell no
@ladycatsinger
Kelly was sick, so she had that disadvantage. But Kurt was amazing. I wonder if Kelly not winning is why they only did this one year?
@pratimoksha1456
I remember one of the judges telling Kurt something to the effect that "You have the voice of an angel, and if this were Middle Earth Idol you should win it, but back here in the real world I don't think people are going to vote for someone who looks like a hobbit". Well, Simon was wrong, and the Norwegian plumber won. I suspect that wasn't 'in the script', so the people funding the show pulled the plug on that experiment.
@deannelson9565
Prati Moksha Simon didn't rip on Kurt Simon ripped the judge for ripping on Kurt.
@pratimoksha1456
dean nelson - yes, you're right, sort of. I went back and looked at the judges' comments, and it was the english judge - don't know his name - who said that. Simon, however, said "If this competition was on radio, you would walk it. However - and don't take this the wrong way, because it's not meant to be - we've allowed a lot of ugly people to become recording artists. Which is fine. My point is, under normal circumstances you would never get a recording contract.". He then added that Kurt has an astonishingly good voice and that he could be the dark horse who would win the competition. So... it's a compliment on his voice, but couched in a harsh, although also probably accurate and realistic, assessment of how his looks are not working in his favour in this industry.
@trees1702
I'm in Brisbane, Australia , and as a singer/muso myself, I was hugely impressed with Kurt Nilsen's vocals and he was my favourite to win when I watched World Idol 2003!!
I'm so happy he did, I love his vocal rendition of 'Beautiful Day' more than that of Bono's vocals on the original song by U2, and that really says something, as U2 have always been my favourite group~!! Kurt Nilsen, BEST vocalist on any talent show ever!!
