Isn't This A Lovely Day
Skellern Peter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The thunder and lightning
Seem to be having their way.
But as far as I'm concerned, it's a lovely day.
The turn in the weather
Will keep us together
So I can honestly say,
That as far as I'm concerned, it's a lovely day
Isn't this a lovely day to be caught in the rain.
You were going on your way, now you've got to remain.
Just as you were going, leaving me all at sea,
The clouds broke, they broke and oh what a break for me.
I can see the sun up high, though we're caught in a storm.
I can see where you and I could be cozy and warm.
Let the rain pitter patter
But it really doesn't matter
If the skies are gray.
Long as I can be with you, it's a lovely day.
The lyrics to "Isn't This A Lovely Day" by Skellern Peter are about finding joy in a day that would appear bleak to most people. The symbolism of thunder and lightning can be thought of as menacing and terrifying, but the singer of the song sees it as an opportunity to spend time with a loved one. The turn in the weather is seen as a blessing because it is an excuse to stay inside and enjoy each other's company. The repetition of the phrase "as far as I'm concerned, it's a lovely day" emphasizes the singer's frame of mind and how they view the world around them.
The chorus of the song is about being caught in the rain with a loved one. Although they were going to part ways, the rain forces them to stay together. The sun peeking through the storm clouds represents hope for the future and the possibility of a cozy and warm future together. Finally, the singer asserts that as long as they can be with their partner, it doesn't matter how the weather turns out because it will be a lovely day regardless.

A consolation of this terribly sad news today has been playing one Skellern gem after another here on YouTube, and best of all, to realise he held a special place in the heart of so many music lovers.
