    Lyrics
    Well you didn't wake up this morning 'cause you didn't go to bed
    You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red
    The calendar on your wall was ticking the days off
    You've been reading some old letters
    You smile and think how much you've changed
    All the money in the world couldn't buy back those days
    You pull back the curtain
    And the sun burns into your eyes
    You watch a plane flying
    Across a clear blue sky
    This is the day, your life will surely change
    This is the day, when things fall into place
    You could have done anything, if you wanted
    And all your friends and family think that you're lucky
    But the side of you they'll never see
    Is when you're left alone with your memories
    That hold your life together, like glue
    Music video by The The performing This Is The Day. (C) 1983 Sony Music Entertainment UK Limited

    I'm sitting here in my car in the park, listening to this while tears flow down my cheeks... currently unemployed and homeless (living in my car).
    Each time, I feel like "giving up," and feel hopeless, I look at the word "HOPE" taped to my dashboard above my radio, and I go on. I realize life can truly change in an instant, in an hour or even a day, and keep the faith.
    I know I will someday rise above all I'm dealing with and be forever grateful I DIDN'T give up! 🤗
    Wish me luck!

It happend fotunately a decade later when I finally met the woman I love until today. But this outstanding song brings back so many bittersweet memories.

    That harmonica playing is simply heaven, I'm torn which version I prefer. But going by the meaning of the song as being stuck in your bedroom faffing around wanting change, wallowing in self pity but actually not doing anything about it -the amateurish and deliberate use of a bontempti / casio organ which we all had in our bedrooms the 80s is pure genius

    This is so damn good. I’m just rediscovering The The since those old days mid 80s. So underrated.

    I totally forgot about this song that got regular play on KROQ during the 80's until I heard it in the movie Swallow. I probably hadn't heard it since I was 10..
