    2013, I found out I was pregnant, started bleeding. Waited for 4 agonising days for the scan. It showed a healthy heartbeat. I cried so hard, couldn't wait to see my mum to tell her the good news.
    As I crossed the road from the hospital, she happened to drive by. She pulled over, as I got in, "one day like this a year would see me right" just played, I cried so hard with joy. That moment, this song, means the world to me. 6 years on. Mum had dementia, but still remembers that day.

      This is probably the most beautiful thing IV read,I don't really believe in God or that,but this is a sign,there is more to life to what we can see or touch, something devine..

    For anyone interested, the talented lad spinning the sign is David Lemke, and this was his job with AArrow Advertising in L.A. Street sign spinning is a way for companies to advertise in areas where there are restrictions on putting up signboards.

    is about appreciating the beauty of the present moment, despite any struggles that one might have in life. The singer reflects on a indescribable feeling of contentment and joy, and wonders if it is love that has created this feeling. He reflects on how precious and fleeting this kind of moment is and wishes to be able to have a "one day like this" in each year. He emphasizes how powerful happiness and joy is and encourages the listener to open their curtains wide and let the present moment in. The song is a reminder to enjoy and appreciate beauty in life, no matter how small.

      Try not to feel that is all is behind us. Now is the time we really choose between good and evil. That choice has never been plainer, when one man threatens and puts fear into millions. As Jesus taught us, we should pray for Putin to throw his curtains wide as well, and see the light. Before it is too late. We can do this...
