songs can indeed affect one’s mood. i’ve been working for three straight hours with “bad day” by daniel powter playing repeatedly on the background. and now, i’m as glum as a stormy sky. i’ve grown to really love this song though.

where is the moment when we need it the most
you kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
they tell me your blue sky's faded to grey
they tell me your passion's gone away
and i don't need no carrying on

you stand in the line just to hit a new low
you're faking a smile with the coffee to go
you tell me your life's been way off line
you're falling to pieces every time
and i don't need no carrying on

cause you had a bad day
you're taking one down
you sing a sad song just to turn it around
you say you don't know
you tell me don't lie
you work at a smile and you go for a ride
you had a bad day the camera don't lie
you're coming back down and you really don't mind
you had a bad day
you had a bad day

well you need a blue sky holiday
the point is they laugh at what you say
and i don't need no carrying on

you had a bad day
you're taking one down
you sing a sad song just to turn it around
you say you don't know
you tell me don't lie
you work at a smile and you go for a ride
you had a bad day the camera don't lie
you're coming back down and you really don't mind
you had a bad day
you had a bad day

sometimes the system goes on the blink
and the whole thing it turns out wrong
you might not make it back
and you know that you could be well oh that strong
well i'm not wrong

so where is the passion when you need it the most
oh you and i
you kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

cause you had a bad day
you're taking one down
you sing a sad song just to turn it around
you say you don't know
you tell me don't lie
you work at a smile and you go for a ride
you had a bad day
you see what you like
and how does it feel, one more time
you had a bad day
you had a bad day
you had a bad day
