Daniel Powter - Bad Day (Stripped Down) [Official Music Video]

Daniel performs a stripped-down piano version of his iconic song, Bad Day.

Available in stores everywhere

Where is the moment when needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Tell me your blue sky’s fade to grey, tell me your passions gone away
And I don’t need no carrying on

You’re standing in line just to hit a new low
You’re faking a smile with a coffee to go
Tell me your life’s been way off line, you’re falling to pieces every time
And I don’t need no carrying 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 on 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 need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don’t need no carrying 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 on 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

Ooooh what a holiday

Sometimes the system goes on the blink and the whole turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know that you can be well oh that strong
And 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 on a smile and you go for a ride
You had a Bad Day
You see what you like
And how does it feel one more time
You had a Bad Day
You had a Bad Day

Dear Daniel.
Still remember when I was 13 I accidentally heard this song, I love your songs, when I feel down i listen to your songs, when I am happy I enjoy your songs. For a long time I thought you retired and I was really sad. Today I accidentally figure out you are still producing music. I am really happy for you that you are still healthy and saving people's soul with your music. Now I am 26. 13 years has went by. Now I produce music too. I am nobody, but I hope one day you can listen to my music too. Thank you for every note you play. Wish you the best.

Canada's Got Talent brought me here 🥰 feels so nostalgic

It’s so crazy how a real old song hits different when you get older and you understand the lyrics more

[underneonloneliness]

Reminds me of starting high school in 2005. Scary how that’s nearly 20 years ago. Time goes too fast.

I used to listen to this song with my son who passed away tragically in a car accident where his head was severed completely off. Every time I hear this song I can’t hold in the tears. He would always say, “I love this song and I love my head!”

[mathewgould]

This is such a beautiful song. Well done Daniel. You touched the lives of me, and many others. Thank you for not only the memory, but a time we'll never get back. Thank you Daniel.

19 years ago i heard your music your song, has very beautiful lyrics, when I had only been married to my wife for 1 year, and was experiencing problems that I thought there was no way out of, but your song was very inspiring I am with my wife, and currently we are still together and already have 3 very children very extraordinary.... thank you for this very beautiful song... wish you all the best... love from Indonesia..

[JesSastra]

I absoluty love your voice Daniel ❤❤❤❤

[bangzuploads]

I'm literally crying right now. Hearing this song again makes me remember my go-lucky character not thinking what's gonna happen as I grow old.. Being happy was easy.. Now.. I'm happy having a good night sleep. I missed my old friends.. Some stayed.. Some I have no contact with. Thank you for your music man.. I listen to this before when I'm sad.This version is like the matured me needing this to get through with life. Love ya
