Ever Had A Day

Listen to the song; #9 on REGGIE'S GREATEST FLOPS

I finally got around to finishing this song today! It started several years ago as just a subject idea, a title, and a few chords on the guitar in drop D tuning. Luckily, I'm OCD about being organized with my songs, and I had the original idea all written out and listed on my song list and I had planned to include in my REGGIE'S GREATEST FLOPS album. 

I've been messing around with the chords for a week or so now; developing the arrangement as I go. Since I have now recorded all of my completed songs, I'm forced to revisit unfinished works such as this one and write brand new material. Now that the bulk of my work is finished to my satisfaction, I feel so much freedom to come up with new ideas. 

I wrote all of the lyrics for this song today; two verses and two choruses. It's funny how it came together. After I completed the lyrics, I realized that the 2nd verse and chorus should be the 1st verse and chorus, so I swapped the order. The song is reminiscent of deep pain that I have endured in life and should be relate-able to almost everyone who listens to it. I hope and pray that it strikes a positive chord in anyone listening! Here are the lyrics:

EVER HAD A DAY
Words and music by Reggie Michaud  © 2015

Have you ever had a day
When the sign said stop but you really had to go
And those blinking lights left you really driving slow
Well I wonder;
Have you ever had a day
When the road turned right but you just kept going straight
And the wreck that came seemed to be your only fate
Well I wonder; have you had a day like mine

Did your heart cry out from your sleepy little town
And begin to long for adventurous new ground
Did you find that place where you thought you’d come alive
And begin to learn that it wasn’t worth the drive
And then looking back did you really throw it all away
Did you ever have a day

Have you ever had a day
When the sky turned black and the rain came down
And the morning after sun left you feeling like a clown
Well I wonder;
Have you ever had a day
When your heart got broke and the pain came in
And a little bird exposed all your deepest darkest sin
Well I wonder; have you had a day like mine

Did your heart find peace did you crawl on out
Of the deepest darkest hole that your life became about
Did the sun come out did the sky turn blue
Did you learn to live again when your life began anew
And you won’t look back so you had to throw it all away
Have you had a day like mine
