Being present in today’s world is challenging. This song is about attempting to do so. When we look up and notice the world around us, we quickly realise the beauty in even the most ordinary of days.

Lyrics:
It’s lunchtime and rain is in the air 
I can smell it on the nose 
I can feel it in my hair 

A dog barks, a robin sings it song,
Arabica from the stove I’ve been tasting all along 

Stresses and messages are on my mind
What am I gonna say? It’s been 3 weeks I’ve not replied

Start typing and then a splash and I am soaked, a bus just drove right past me hit the puddle in the road 

Put my phone away, my headphones in their case, breathe in the fresh air feel the cool wind on my face,
Start looking and noticing what is around, people smiling, some are frowning, some are pushing through the crowds

In my ways the most ordinary of days
Can simply take your breath away

Dreams and ambitions on my mind 
Oh I’ve got so much to do so many distractions all the time 

I try to let go I breathe in and I breathe out 
The breath cools on it’s way in it feels warm on the way out

Pressure it is released from my head 
Feel like I’ve gained such wisdom with no words being said 

Heart beat with its mechanistic song, bring the tempo right down low, it’s all you needed, all along 

She’s talking and now at last I can hear
The depth to her words the meaning doesn’t disappear 

Listening for what she has to say
At last I understand, we’re so much happier this way

In my ways the most ordinary of days
Can simply take your breath away
