Firstly let me apologize for coming to you with this lyric so late. I was actually waiting to see the result of the San Francisco Giants game where south paw Jonathan Sanchez reached pretty much the pitching pinnacle with a rare no hitter. While it was not a perfect game because of an eighth inning error it was still indeed a perfect day for him. And, yes, I am so ashamed by the Mets that I am beginning to cite other baseball achievements in the blog. So, in honor of the no hitter let us do a little repeat. I recently mentioned how Lou Reed is one of the best lyricists of all time. He actually was honored in the lyric of the day. Now, because of his lyrical greatness and convenience, his solo song “Perfect Day,” shall also be honored. Mr. Sanchez congrats.
“Oh, it’s such a perfect day
I’m glad I spend it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on”
– “Perfect Day,” by Lou Reed off of the 1972 album Transformer.
Did you know…
Coldplay actually covered this song (not stole it) for a 2006 acoustic set at the Isle of Wight music festival. Reed had asked them to backstage after he had finished his set but forgot to perform it himself
