Bill Withers - Lovely Day (Official Audio) 

There are two types of people in the world. Those that hold the extended "day" and those that repeat "lovely day" in the chorus. (Years after making this comment, I still come back to check on the latest notifications because it gives me another excuse to listen to this song again. Thanks to everyone who have responded. Y'all have a lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, LOVE-ly day. Or a lovely daaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy. - Rob 8/23/24)

Really liked this song in 1977 when I was 29 years old, Really like this song now at 71 years old in 2020!

RIP Bill Withers. Ain't no sunshine when you're gone.

Rumour has it he's up in heaven still holding that note!

This needs to be the first thing everybody wakes up to

My 11 yr. old Son has Stage 4 Cerebral Palsy which basically make him a paraplegic. Yet his attitude towards life is absolutely beautiful which makes my attitude towards life beautiful! This songs for you buddy! You make every day “a lovely day!”

This song will be played at my funeral to lift everyone’s spirits

I'm still listening in 2024. The way he holds that note near the end for a 16-count gets me every time. R.I.P. Brother.

RIp Bill, its a small world and everyone has to go one day. One way or the other. It's how people will remember us when we are gone. Thanks for giving us good music.

I’m recovering from depression and I’ve dedicated this song to be my morning tune. I sing along to it in the mirror and convince myself that I’ll have a lovely day

5 months ago, I was on suicide watch for 5 days on the rock. Bad news sit, but this song crept in my mind. Sang it over and over... And over. Been off meds since. Had comp mind, body, and spirit shift. Beyond peaceful. Thanks Bill. By God's grace. R.I.P. Lovely Day Forever!

The world today needs this, I need this!

When we get out of quarantine it’s gonna be a lovely daaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy

I'm playing this song to my Father as he is isolated in his hospital room battling the Coronavirus. Anything to keep his spirits up in the ultimate fight for his life.

We lost a legend but with his music we can’t be down, he wrote music for us to be happy. Make sure today is a lovely day. Rip Bill gone but not forgotten

Who else is astonished at how long he can say dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyuyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I was listening to this song just yesterday. RIP Bill Withers.

The line that gets me every time is when Withers sings, “...then I look at you, and the world’s alright with me.” I know that feeling.

"An old friend once told me something that gave me great comfort. Something he read. He said Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin never died. They simply became music."

My beautiful daughter was born to this song !!!!! After 3 days of labor and no progressions she was delivered via C section to this song 🤎 mommy loves you beautiful and when I look at you ? I KNOW ITS GONNA BE A LOVELY DAY 🥲🤎

I played this for my granddaughter everyday while she was in the NICU, three months later she was discharged. Thanks Bill!

Another painful day with cancer but I am ALIVE!! TY JESUS AND FRED LITTLES.I ADORE U

This reminds me of my beautiful son. He has severe autism. It was all such a struggle but just looking at him everyday made it all bearable. Such a handsome young man. He always made it a lovely day. Thank you Bill Withers. 🙌💙

If dealing with mental health stressed depression this is a great song to listen to 💯

A Legend never dies he just changes addresses. Rest easy Bill Withers in eternal love in heaven.

♪ "A lovely daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay"♪♪♪

It's 2024 . This song will never retire!! It's in hundreds of movies too!! Especially animated movies.. Great classic❤❤

I listen to this song on rough days when I don’t want to go to work. And it lifts my spirits instantly.

My history teacher would play this in the beginning of every class, I'm so grateful for his taste in music. The moment I hear this song life comes back to me.

I've had this song as my morning alarm for almost 2 years now. It has changed my life.

Such a beautiful song. It makes me sad and happy at the same time. I remember my mother and grandmother playing this song in the car and house as they cooked, danced and played cards. They are both on the other side of the sun now. Hearing this brings me back to that space if only for a few brief minutes. Rest in Heaven Mr. Withers. 💪🏽💔😢

Just heard this song on a commercial and I could not get the tune out of my head! Have a Lovely Day everyone!

Listening to this during pandemic/covid and wanting this madness to end. Wishing everyone a lovely day!!!! God bless!

“Then I look at you….and the world’s alright with me” hits so hard every time. My body has started to prepare the goosebumps now.

Song is 47 years old as of 2024 and it's still a lovely day❤🖤💚

Rest in peace. Sorry that you have separated from this world in one of its toughest moments. But you should know that this song (and your others) give us every morning a hope that lovely days will return and we’ll get back to normal life. Ain’t no sunshine when your’e gone but we lean on your music in these difficult days. Waiting for the day that we will meet as many people as we can much more than just the two of us. Your music is eternal Amir. Tel Aviv. Israel

This song has the feel of the sun rising on a warm summer morning, birds chirping through the open window, with a cool breeze.

As long as we can still cherish his songs, and we will, the days are gonna stay lovely. He may no longer be in this realm, but we didn't lose him.

I am almost 55. Glad to see youngsters ears and hearts fed with real music.

RIP Bill Withers. You will be missed.

Who’s here after hearing that he passed away? Timeless music R.I.P #legend

Screw you 2020! Kobe, Corona Virus and now Bill Withers. Man, this has been my all time favorite song from him. Rest in Peace Mr. Withers. 😥😥😥

Have a LOVELY DAY!!

My 11 year old grandson has been singing this song everywhere he goes. I asked him where he heard that song at. He said you Nana you always play good music all I could do was smile.

Legend says he's still holding that note to this very day...

I was listening to his music the other day and read that he passed away today. Wow that is so ironic and sad. He's one of my favorite artist and this song is my inspiration during this difficult time. RIP Bill. Thanks for sharing your music.

Mr. Bill Withers ladies and gentlemen.... He may be gone but his music will live forever.

_"...If I get to heaven, I'll look for Grandma's hands."_ -Bill Withers They just welcomed you home. RIP

Sadly as he left us today, his stories put to music will make everyday a “Lovely Day”. Condolences to the family, friends, and fans of Bill Withers.

This song just warms my heart, it makes me grateful for everything!

If your still listening to this song in 2024, Have A Lovely Day 😍

Bill Withers is one of the most underrated artists out there, he has such a wonderful voice

I’m at the park watching my grandchildren play and still loving this music😊 and still feel like the young girl I once was. God bless you for sharing ❤

This song should be an anthem. Just makes you feel good.

I finally broke down after everything already going on in the world, this broke me 😭 Use to sing Lean on me in elementary it was good times. May he rest in paradise.

Timeless Song...... Released 44 years ago but it feels like yesterday and I'm still enjoying it.

I used to look at my wife and knew it was going to be a lovely day. She passed away 3 years ago. No more lovely days. Just days but it's still a wonderful song that reminds me of a warm spring morning.

All the positivity reading the comments makes this song so much more relevant for all us optimists in 2021.

Can’t wait til the world gets back to normal and have “Lovely Days”. One of my favorite songs in my playlist. R.I.P

this song will really hit different after we beat covid... have a great 2021 everyone

such a timeless classic

Me and my kids listening to this on the way to school... they're singing.. A lovely Day🎵🎵🎵 5/17/2024

Perfect song to start the morning.

The vocal progression and the way he’s able to hold the high “day”s at the end is just phenomenal! RIP Bill Withers

I swear if there is ever to be a ranking of the greatest songs in human history, then this one here should be among the top 10.

this song hits different in the early morning, getting ready for online school

Youngster here, 23 Started listing to Bill in 8th grade and this was my start in wholesome soul music. R.I.P. Ain't no sunshine when you're gone.

I hope everybody has a Lovely Daaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

This is simply one of the greatest songs of all time.

Genius, genius, genius. No-one has given us songs of such transcendent beauty and soul. Thank you, Bill Withers, thank you.

This would be the worlds opening credit song

this song immediately teleports you to a different time and place than we are today ❤

"Don't be sad cause it's over, Be happy cause it happened".

My wife had a liver transplant and was in a coma for 3 weeks before the surgery. She had so many compactions, sepsis, loss of memory, loss of mobility! She's in a rehab facility and I play this song for like when she was ok and she has her best days!!! Thank you. God is healing thru music!!!

When I was recovering from pneumonia I sung this song constantly. I could hardly speak and it hurt so bad. I forced my lungs to expand, to heal. Everyday I held that note a lil longer. This song was my therapy and it worked.

I’m here enjoying Bill sing Lovely Day. Great song. Thanks Bill Withers.

I was a single father listening to this song and looking at my daughter would make my soul smile😊

RIP Bill in my classroom my teacher played this song every time we walked into the room.We all loved it never knew you wrote it.Hope you all have a “Lovely Day”❤️

I used to have REALLY bad anxiety attacks when I was younger, and this song played a lot on the smooth jazz station I would listen to so I could calm down quicker. I finally learned the name of it today, years later, thanks to an Allstate commercial. I don't regret looking this up.

Listening to this song while walking down the street on a beautiful summer day as the sun shines down on you while you feel a light breeze of air brush against your skin is a feeling of pure bliss

Went fishing this morning at a lake, across from where I fish is a summer camp for disabled children, this song came on over their PA system for the beginning of their day. I Had the biggest cool aid smile😊

I sang this song to my first grandson everyday for the first 4 months of his life. Because when I looked at him, I knew I’d have a beautiful day.❤️

This is one of the best songs ever written hands down. It's basically perfect.

Rest in peace Mr. Withers.. Today is not a lovely day, it is a day of mourning for your loss.. :(

He should be known for everyone of his songs. He doesn’t have one bad one

I got to admit. There ain’t no sunshine when Bill Withers is gone.

Bill Withers was our musical "everyman". Anyone could relate to his music. He wasn't a color, he was a vibe, a message, a song on the radio that we turned up because we wanted everyone to hear. He made our lives better. Bill Withers will be missed.

Man , we don’t have songs like this anymore ....

It’s 2024 and my 16 month old son has been watching The Secret Life of Pets for almost 2months now…so I here I am searching this song to add to “our” Spotify playlist for road trips. To my surprise this song has been out for years now and, not to mention, the artist holding the note for an astonishing amount of time, especially toward the end of the song 🎵

He’s not dead he’s alive in all of us 70’s forever bro

Let's be honest, we all searched for this.

If you're listening to this song in 2024 have a lovely day

2024 we still here😊

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, lovely day) (Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day) A lovely day (Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day) (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 (Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day) (Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day) A lovely day (Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day) (Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day) When the day that lies ahead of me Seems impossible to face And 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

Unbelievable artist, his voice is incredible, RIP to such a great man, his music will never die

One of the all time great songs. That long note he holds at the end still amazes me. RIP Sir.

This song lives in souls.

This song came out when the 🌎 was peaceful and everyday was a lovely day
