about

From The Bluegrass Situation:

“I started writing ‘Beautiful Day’ sitting on our neighbor’s front porch one morning. I was living with them at the time, after our house flooded and my husband and I were waiting for the city to buy and demolish it. He was still living in our house with no heat, taking care of our cat and dog, and it got a little lonely month after month of waking up alone in other people’s houses. It was such a wild experience of not knowing what each day would bring or when the sky would clear, so to speak. As the verses started shaping up, I remembered all of the times in my life that felt dark and uncertain, but were actually necessary parts of growing into better versions of myself. This song became a reminder to enjoy the moment and have faith that it was leading to a brighter day. And now, I look back on those days as gifts of time with friends, with my guitar, and without the distractions that used to keep me from having long stretches to write.” — Abigail Dowd

lyrics

Outside of my window its a beautiful day
I ought to go out for awhile
Call up a friend, lean on a stranger
I could sure use a smile

On this beautiful day
Beautiful day outside

Mama called this morning but I didn’t answer
Didn’t have the heart to say
That I’ve been feeling kind of lonely
Sometimes I get blue
And mama’s try to make it all okay

They want everyday to be a beautiful day
Beautiful day outside

Do you ever get lonely
And wonder how much farther you can go
Do you think you’re the only one who knows
Friend I know

I have seen darkness
I’ve got shadows inside
But I hold on for the light
I have never known a sorrow that didn’t make me stronger
There’s never been a day that the sun don’t rise

And bring a beautiful day
Beautiful day outside

So hold on my friend
No one sees clearly in the dark
Even the longest nights are just the start

Of a beautiful day
Beautiful day
Oh a beautiful day outside
