ATF: Good Days and Bad

This weekly series will include as many of my all-time favorite tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way that your musical tastes can be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions that you might dare to make.  I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Bad Day
Daniel Powter
Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're fakin’ a smile with the coffee to go
They tell me your life's been way off line
You're fallin’ to pieces every time
And I don't need no carryin' on

‘Cause you had a bad day
You're takin’ one down
You sing a sad song
Just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile
And you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're comin’ back down
And you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Well
You need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on

You had a bad day
You're takin’ one down
You sing a sad song
Just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile
And you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're comin’ back down
And you really don't mind
You had a bad day
Mmm
On a holiday

Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong
Yeah yeah yeah

So where was the passion when you need it the most
Oh
You and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

‘Cause you had a bad day
You're takin’ one down
You sing a sad song
Just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile
And you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel
For one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Had a bad day

Had a bad day

Had a bad day

TFT: Rare Earth


Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world.  For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair while others will be quite obviously fervent rants of rebellion.  Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.

(I Know) I’m Losing You
Rare Earth
Your love is fadin'
I feel it fade
Ah
Your love is fadin'
I feel it fade
Ah
Your love is fadin'
Woman
I feel it fade

Ah
Woman
Woman
Your touch
Your touch has gone cold
As if someone else
Controls your very soul
I've fooled myself
Long as I can
Can feel the presence
Of another man
It's there when you speak my name
It's just not the same
Ooh
Babe
I'm losing you
It's in the air
It's there everywhere
Baby
Baby
Babe
I'm losin’ you

When I look into your eyes
A reflection of a face I see
I'm hurt
Down-hearted
And worried
Girl
'Cause that face
Doesn't belong to me
It's all over your face
Someone's takin' my place
Ooh
Baby
I'm losin’ you
You try hard to hide
The emptiness you feel inside
Ooh
Babe
I'm losin’ you

Fadin’
Fadin’ away from me

Fadin’
Away from me

Fadin’

Your love is fadin’

I can feel it fade

Fadin’
Fadin’ away from me

Girl
I know it’s true
There’s nothin’ I do
I know I’m losin’ you

I can feel it my bones
Any day you’ll be gone
I’m losin’ you

I know it’s true
There’s someone new
I’m losin’ you

‘Cause your love is fadin’
Fadin’ away from me

Fadin’
Fadin’ away from me

It’s fadin’
Fadin’
Fadin’
Away from me

I can't bear the thought
Of losin’ you
Ah woman
Can't you see what
I'm goin' through
I'm losin' my mind
Losin' my mind
And it's all because of you
I can't bear the thought
Of losin you
I'm losin' my mind
Losin' my mind
And it's all because of you
I can't stand the thought
Of losin’ you
