Biography by Marisa Brown
|
Daniel Powter, the Canadian who stormed the European charts in 2005 with his single ″Bad Day″ (from his 2005 self-titled release), was born and raised in the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, picking up the violin at the age of four. By the time he was a teenager, however, he had switched to piano and began performing at his high school. He enrolled in Grant MacEwan College in Edmonton, Alberta, where he studied music, dropping out after two years due to difficulties on account of his dyslexia. After his debut release, he toured Europe, performing at the Berlin Live 8 concert in the summer of 2005. His U.S. release of Daniel Powter came out in 2006.

Where is the moment we need it the most
|
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
|
They tell me your blue sky’s fade to grey
|
They tell me your passion’s gone away
|
And I don’t need no carryin’ on
|
|
You stand in the line just ahead of the law
|
You’re faking a smile with the coffee you go
|
You tell me your life’s been way off line
|
You’re falling to pieces everytime
|
And I don’t need no carryin’ 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 carryin’ 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
|
|
(Oh.. Holiday..)
|
|
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’ve seen what you like
|
And how does it feel for one more time
|
You had a bad day
|
You had a bad day
|
|
Had a bad day
|
Had a bad day
|
