Song Review: Amber Hayes, “Any Day Is A Good Day”

Amber Hayes, Any Day Is A Good DayAny Day Is A Good Day” is the new inspirational single from country newcomer Amber Hayes. The song also serves as the title track of her album that was released this October. Amber’s sweet, country voice entices you and paints a beautiful picture of living the old adage “every day above ground is a good day.”

The first verse expands on just that: “I’ve got a roof above my head, shoes on my feet. Got air in my lungs, groceries in the pantry/So I’d have to say, it’s a good day.”

Sweet, simple and inspiring.

The second verse touches on enjoying the simple beauties in life as Amber describes taking a walk and listening to blue birds. You can almost picture her walking through a brightly lit, “American Honey”-esque cornfield, smiling and enjoying nature’s beauty.

The third verse takes an emotional turn while giving the song strong context: “’I don’t think you’re gonna make it.’ That’s what the doctor told me/This morning I woke up to my one-year anniversary. So I guess I’d have to say, it’s a good day.” If the old adage didn’t strike you at the beginning of the song, it certainly will here as it’s conveyed against the backdrop of a supposedly-terminal illness.

The song doesn’t showcase a vast range of powerhouse vocals; the production doesn’t feature a choir or an orchestra or anything; and the writing doesn’t contain ambiguous nuances that make you think long and hard about what Amber’s actually saying… she just says it. Which is perfect. The song is exactly what it needs to be and nothing more; however, it still manages to grab a hold of your attention and make you want to hit repeat a couple times.

Looking forward to the entire album, and much more to come from Amber Hayes.
