Jaw-dropping drumming and booty shakin' basslines underpin a swirling, snarling, smiling miasma of melodies and lyrical lunacy...pre-crunk funk meets post-spazz jazz...."Impossible to pidgeonhole" NARC Magazine
O.P.E.N. fuse high energy post-rock and metal with psychedelic funk, dub, hip-hop, swing and anything else they think sounds good.
If you can imagine The Jimi Hendrix Experience jamming with Primus with a hyperactive Geordie Jack Black on vocals, then you're in the right area.
What A Lovely Day
O.P.E.N. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Here it is, another day, so dark and gloomy
My situation's real, sadness goin' through me
Because my love is not here for my kiss
Images of you stay on my mind
Anticipating and waiting for the clock to unwind
Anxiety plays me as dusk turns to dawn
But I could take the wait
It won't be long
As confidence grows, I start to ready myself, steady myself
Prepare myself for what lies ahead
As I dread the every minute I have to face without you here
Close but so far as the time draws near
How much more can I take, how much more, what can I do?
Just hold on tight and be strong
I know I'll make it through
Now's the time for the needs to finally go away
I feel you near and it's a lovely day
Then I look at you
And the world's all right with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gonna be
A lovely day!
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
That was then and this is now
My pulse rate beats fast and at last you're around
I greet you, my eyes cannot leave you
I just wanna squeeze you
As I bestow a gentle "hello"
I couldn't front and play hard to get
Because the day was long
And I felt strong ever since we met
When you appear the tensions go
Mentally calm, becomes the body, the mind and the soul
Let's cut to the chase
Before the time will waste away
So we can enjoy the walks, conversational play
Take a cruise to nowhere
Is anyone out there?
Who cares?
As long as you're here with me
The best is yet to come
Together we'll be as one
Our love has just begun
Guaranteed my love
I'll never go away
As long as you're around
It's a lovely day
Then I look at you
And the world's all right with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gonna be
A lovely day!
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
I wish they could last forever
The rendezvous of coming together
Meeting in places of pleasure
Times we spent were so real
And I could feel the everlasting love coming through to my appeal
But now the time has come to mind
That we must part and separate to make a start
with that thought in mind
There's only one thing to say
With you in my life
It'll be a lovely day!
Then I look at you
And the world's all right with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gonna be
A lovely day!
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
A lovely day!
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
A lovely day!
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
A lovely day!
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
A lovely day!
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
A lovely day!
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day

My Mama’s Funeral Is Tomorrow. She Suffered With Congestive Heart Failure and Dementia with Sundowners For The Past Year.
I Would Sing, Dance and Point To Her Smiling Throughout This Song…
In The Early Stages She Would Sing Along With Me…
Last Friday January 26, 2024 I Visited Her At Home To Play This Song Again, Singing.
I Always Was Told The Hearing Is The Last To Go…
I Also Played Beth Hart’s Song “Mama This Ones For You” As This Was Gary’s Song For Her From Him.
There Was A Tear From Her Eye Which I Gently Wiped Away.
We All Have One Mother and There Are No Guidebooks Which Truly Exist On Raising Children. It Is Hands On.
The First Four Of Us (Our Parents Quad Being So Close In Age) Lived On Meager Means But Was Rich In Love and Laughter…
The Remaining Two Younger Siblings Though A Difference In Ages Have Different Memories…
I Like To Hope It Was My Eldest Brother Mickey Who Passed Away January 21, 2006 From Cancer At The Age Of 46, Was The One Who Mama Saw To Help Guide Her From This World To Heaven…
Until We See Each Other Again Mama…
The Love Endures

Lyrics :
"When I wake up in the morning, love
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
And something without warning, love
Bears heavy on my mind
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day (lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day (lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day (lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day (lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)"
