Ben Howard - What A Day Lyrics

Ben Howard Lyrics

"What A Day"

What a day to go around
Heavy in the sound of breaking mirrors
What a day to go around
Head up in the clouds thought you were better
What a way to come around
Well I take you out, I take you walking, healing
Mercy

Shadow nearing
Course there’s knowing
Where to put the right words here in
Where does all the time go?

What a day to go around
Heavy in the sound of rivers breaking
What a day to go around
Well the sun came out and it was taking, breaking me up

What a day to go around
Well I take you out, I take you walking, healing

Missing light
Dancer on a pale blue sky
Where does all the time go?

Always fearing
Our hands clawing
Up against the light
It’s nearing
Where does all the time go?

Always fearing
Our hands clawing up against
The light is nearing
Where does all the time go?

"What A Day" is the first single from Ben Howard's fourth studio album "Collections From The Whiteout". The song was premiered at BBC1 radio on January 26, 2021, accompanied by a music video filmed in Bulgaria and directed by Cloe Bailly. Ben Howard said about the video, "This was a nonsense idea loosely thrown together on the Old English rhyme, 'Back to back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each other' with a bit of animal hysteria thrown in. Cloe somehow transformed a basic countryside shoot ‘em up into an amazing tale of delightful retribution."
