alt-J - Lovely Day Lyrics






When I wake up in the morning light
Sunlight hurts my eyes
Something without warning, love
Plays heavy on my mind

Then I look at you [x5]
And the world's alright with me

Oh just one look at you [x3]
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
On the night line
For the night line

When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way

Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me

Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
On the night line
For the night line

  29. A.... P....

    This video made my day. You are very talented, and have done justice to this lovely cover.

  30. l.... t....

    My feelings 🏠

  31. J.... W....

    This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing :)

  32. j.... f....

    I'm even singing lol goo on alt j :)

  33. j.... f....

    only alt j can make it a lovely day i hated that song but now it's gonna be :)

  34. S.... G....

    The girl sorta looks like Gal Gadot <3

  35. G.... C....

    I cant help but picture this: a person with somewhat blurry vision's eyesight clearing up at the sight of their loved-one , even If just slightly , enough for them to feel reassured , that it will indeed be , a lovely day .them smiling kindly , basking in the sun that had previously hurt their eyes , at peace

  36. G.... C....

    I listen to this song everynight to help me fall asleep ::) the video and song duo is very soothing .thank you for uploading this .I'm very grateful :) ♡♡♡

  37. A.... R....

    Anyone knows where can i find this picture from the clip?
    High resolution...

  38. R.... J....

    Then I listen to this song, and the world is alright with me...

  39. d.... J....

  40. L.... P....

    Good take on a great song

  41. P.... ....

    Doing Bill Withers lyrics justice...

    And great job on the video and artwork....

  42. a.... ....

    i hate how they wrote than instead of then like noooooo

  43. A.... B....

    Magnifique !!

  44. 1.... ....

    Reminds me Amsterdam :( <3 I miss it!

  45. P.... ....

    WORTHY.

  46. B.... W....

    That’s incredible 😝

  47. R.... A....

    The lyrics in the video are just like Alt-J singing. You cant interpret what's written :D
    Great concept though

  48. J.... K....

    Reminds me of Leah Bernal, anyone else? x

  49. v.... ....

    it's pretty darn nice but i cannot get over the "than" rather than the "then." goddamnit. almost perfect. artists need to make sure things are spelled right. damnit. damnit.

  50. H.... S....

    Is there like a Secret Album of alt-j? (Lovely day, Moonlight, etc )

    H.... S....

    Well at least with this song, if you got the chance to buy a physical copy of This Is All Yours, the last song has Lovely Day as a hidden track. It's at the minute 12 of the song Leaving Nara. So there's no secret album, just hidden/feature songs I guess.

    H.... S....

    Bonus track on album this is all yours album

  51. S.... ....

    https://vimeo.com/242413565 here other music video of this song

  52. b.... ....

    Thank you very much for uploading - amazing cover! Where did you get it from? Greetings, B.

  53. W.... ....

    Such a creative idea and so beautiful

  54. J.... ....

    i love this song and this video but I can't watch it too closely because the artist uses "than" instead of "then" and it drives me nuts

    J.... ....

    Don't worry that a goes well as an e too. Lets say he is not that great in handwriting.

  55. F.... K....

    This is the reason why Alt- J is my favorite band. Creativity.

  56. M.... N....

    ❤️❤️❤️

  57. Z.... M....

    channeling Radiohead

  58. C.... ....

    beautiful

  59. G.... M....

    Wow....

  60. A.... C....

    Does anyone here know how he posted this cover, if it needs some kind of autorization by altj or the original artist?

    A.... C....

    Alice Caumo It's not a 'he', I'm a she and youtube allowed me to post it.

    A.... C....

    N. Miller Aaaaa im truly sorry. Yeah, ive searched and found that copyright page of songs in youtube

    A.... C....

    The video is significantly creative enough on its own grounds that it probably qualifies as fair use.

  61. i.... b....

    This is astonishingly beautiful!! I love alt j but I had never listened to this cover. The cover is just awesome because well... It's alt j!!! And it gets even more awesome with your video. The drawing is so beautiful and the editing too! I LOVE IT

  62. G.... A....

    wtf only 165.600 ?

  63. T.... Y....

    lovely song dont mind listening.

  64. M.... V....

    reminds me of Radiohead

  65. J.... E....

    first time i heard this song i was on acid. still gives me the most nostalgic feel. the goosebumps spread across my skin. and i take the deepest breath to make my self aware that the title has not lied to me once.

    J.... E....

    Just Eivin it’s really something else i listen to it every time it doesn’t get old so beautiful

    J.... E....

    Me too man I was looking for this song because of that reason. Best acid song there is

  66. D.... I....

    I'm back.. Just too damn good

  67. E.... R....

    Lyrics
    "Lovely Day"
    When I wake up in the morning, love
    And the sunlight hurts my eyes
    And something without warning, love
    Bears heavy on my mind
    Then I look at you
    And the world's alright with me
    Just one look at you
    And I know it's gonna be
    A lovely day
    ... lovely day, lovely day, lovely day ...
    When the day that lies ahead of me
    Seems impossible to face
    When someone else instead of me
    Always seems to know the way
    Then I look at you
    And the world's alright with me
    Just one look at you
    And I know it's gonna be
    A lovely day.....
    When the day that lies ahead of me
    Seems impossible to face
    When someone else instead of me
    Always seems to know the way
    Then I look at you
    And the world's alright with me
    Just one look at you
    And I know it's gonna be
    A lovely day......

    E.... R....

    Eden Raine... this song is older than both of hs combined lol bill withers sings it clearer but their both verry good versions of the same song lol

  68. D.... I....

  69. 1.... ....

    Finally an Alt J clip that doesn't creep me out! Massive props to who made this!

  70. D.... H....

    Awesome video N. Miller, I appreciate your hard work. This turned out great! It could be an album cover or something, very cool.

  71. E.... R....

    Beautiful

  72. T.... ....

    so beautiful. if I ever got married this would probably be my wedding song. aaahhh. wonderful take on a classic

  73. k.... ....

    this deserves billions

  74. B.... 1....

    Feel sorry for the guy who hit that dislike button. Fucking Asshat.

    B.... 1....

    Beam 19 Productions it was probably god being angry how not even the music of angels compares to this

    B.... 1....

    Beam 19 Productions It was and is me. (:

  75. G.... S....

    Is there a way to have a poster of it? The final artwork it's just amazing and I want it in my room

    G.... S....

    Holly Golightly how goes it? I listen to this song all the time and I'm curious!

    G.... S....

  80. u.... n....

    Gorgeous video clip

  81. f.... ....

    holy $h!t i didn't even correlate this as being the same song written & song by Bill Withers! wow i feel so stupid now.

  82. 1.... ....

    Fucckkk!! Big up bro, really nice video! Lovely song <3

  83. H.... B....

    One of the best and most underrated ALT-J song. Love it so much <3

    J.... ....

    N. Miller Wow! :)

    J.... ....

    I'd like to hang it on my wall. Do you have the picture in good quality and are you selling/sharing it somewhere on the web? Cheers

    J.... ....

    @N. Miller you should be paid by alt-j for this

    J.... ....

    @N. Miller Where can I find a big enough version to make into a print?

  90. M.... V....

    Even though I adore Bill Withers, I've never really been able to stand this song of his. This on the other hand stirs my feelings in the most fruity way possible, absolutely adorable!

    M.... V....

    that's funny because this is the only song i like by bill withers haha. i agree tho, this cover is amazing!

    M.... V....

    Max Van Westerop it’s a terrible version.

  91. A.... ....

    Come to Brazil

  92. C.... R....

    Reminds me too much of Radiohead... Love it.

    C.... R....

    I suck and I just wanted to tell you how did you get burn the witch from this? not being rude, I just don't really see the links 😂

    C.... R....

    Your profile picture is amazing

    C.... R....

    I suck and I just wanted to tell you that's exactly why I love it

    C.... R....

    To me, remind In limbo

  93. J.... V....

    Love it!!!
