Redefine Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 I had just about given up hope of ever finding the title/artist of this song, until I stumbled upon your forum. After reading some of the posts here I know that if anyone can help me, the people here can The song is from either 1994, 1995 or 1996. I first heard it when I was living in L.A. on KROQ. From what I can remember it's a more mellow song, I think with some parts that have a string orchestra in the background. As far as the lyrics, from what I can remember the chorus goes something along the lines of... I can't find the words to tell you..... something something something I just want to be right by you. Something something something It's a beautiful day (Singer ends on a higher note) The chorus is repeated two or three times in the song and the only lyrics that I am 100% about are the "I just want to be right by you" and "It's a beautiful day". I wish I could provide more details, but that is all I can remember from it I believe the song title went something along the lines of "Song for a rainy day" or "Song for an early morning" or Early Morning Song" or some combination thereof. Please help me to identify this song, it's been driving me nuts for so long and the only time I have heard it after that was in a Starbucks 6 years ago. Unfortunately they had no idea what the name of the song was, and thus began my search. Thank you for your time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeeterMcgee Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Female singer, Male, or what? Pop, rock, grunge, country rock, or what? I've got a few ideas, and only wish you could plug in a play of it, as I think I know, but can't venture a guess without additional info. I can usually pick it out if I hear it.

PSYCHOcatholic Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 I looked around for about an hour using some keywords you gave me. I know that doesnt compare to six years though. Yes, male or female would be good to know. There are soo many songs about early morning, and rain. there are songs called early morning, or early morning rain.

Redefine Posted June 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 It's a male singer, wasn't listed under the singers name though. It was under a band name, you know one of those ones you think to yourself "hmmmm that's easy to remember, no need to write that down". Still kicking myself for that one. Male singer, kind of a slower alternative/rock type song. Thank you both for your help, it is very much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioslave Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 There is a song called "song for a rainy day"- It's by a band called They came burning, I couldn't find lyrics for it but it's very heavy - almost Ramsteinish --- so I really don't think it's what you're talking about.

audioslave Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 ALRight - maybe it's "Perfect Day" or "Beautiful Day" - I've seen it both ways in my obsessive compulsive search to figure this out - by Mike and the Mechanics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redefine Posted June 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 The lyrics look like it could be the right one, but I don't think they ever played mike and the mechanics on KROQ(not the right genre for the station). Gonna pick it up after I get paid, but if you're right you will have solved the thing that has been bugging me for so long and have a nice surprise coming to ya. You don't know how much it means to me to find out the answer to this. I'll let you know, thanks again for your help :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redefine Posted June 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Finally was able to pick it up, and that's not it Thanks for trying though, one of these days I might be able to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Could it be U2-Beautiful Day, or possibly Matchbox 20, even though that doesn't fit the time circa, but the only thing that comes to my head. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 I think I may have found something promising... Beautiful Day by 3 Colours Red Things you forgot to say?will haunt you Been down here a million days I know you'll get me through You don't need to Because I'll never be alone Do you cry?any more? You're in the never ending? Bitter and condescending blue I just wanna be by you And everything will turn to blue The dream is a fallacy come true Just wanna spend some time with you On a beautiful day Seeing the morning in?forget to? Worry about the things?that hurt you You're becoming dependent now Is it cold where you are too? Freeze no more?no more You're in the never ending? Bitter and condescending blue I just wanna be by you And everything will turn to blue The dream is a fallacy come true Just wanna spend some time with you On a beautiful day We got so throw it away 'Cos we will be as lucky as the last time, child The habits don't blow it away We are on the other side? and we know you're talking about the old times Walking down an open road but Failing to disguise?revealing the signs? Nothing you can do will change me It's a beautiful day. The time is a little off from what you describe, the album this song is on, Revolt, was released in 1999. 3 Colours Red is a British band, however Beautiful Day was a minor hit in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redefine Posted July 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 ! ! SARA I LOVE YOU! I could have sworn it was earlier in the 90's than that, but you guessed it. You have no idea how happy this makes me to finally know what that song was :: Do you have paypal or anything cause I wanna send you something to show how much I appreciate this. Maybe buy a cd or something I dunno. You wouldn't think a song would cause this much of a fuss, but the times I heard this song was in a special place with a special person that are all but memories now. Seriously itunes codes, paypal to buy a cd, you name it it's yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Yeah! Glad we got it! That's a very sweet offer but I am happy to help. How about if you pass it along - help someone else out if you know or can find the answer to their question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
