Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ev'ry day was a cloudy day for me
Then good luck came a-knocking at my door
Skies were gray but they're not gray anymore
Blue skies
Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies
Bluebirds
Singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds
All day long
Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly
Blue days
All of them gone
Nothing but blue skies
From now on
I should care if the wind blows east or west
I should fret if the worst looks like the best
I should mind if they say it can't be true
I should smile, that's exactly what I do
The song "Blue Skies" by Rushing Jimmy is a joyful tune about a character who was once feeling blue and downhearted, but then receives good fortune, and now sees life through a positive lens. The lyrics begin with the character describing themselves as blue, and they explain how every day used to feel like a cloudy day. However, this all changes when good luck comes knocking at their door, and now the skies which were once gray, are not gray anymore. The song then moves into the chorus, where we hear the character singing about nothing but blue skies and bluebirds singing a song all day long. The character then explains that they have never seen the sun shining so bright, and that they are now noticing the days hurrying by.
The second half of the lyrics go on to describe how all the blue days are gone, and that from now on, there will be nothing but blue skies. The character declares that they should not care if the wind blows east or west, or fret if the worst looks like the best. Instead, they should simply smile and be happy with what they have. This song is an uplifting tune that encourages its listeners to look at the bright side of life and to appreciate the good things that come their way.

You can always tell a Jimmy Mundy arrangement, always cuts right to the chase. The way the orchestra drops and Jimmy R. steps in shows real confidence. Yes, you've got the top brass, and the unmistakably robust reeds, with Shadow Wilson accentuating rather than driving.
