Sunny Day

About Sunny Day

"Sunny Day" is the ninth single released by the American synthpop band Book of Love. The song was released as the second single from the band's third album, 1991's Candy Carol. "Sunny Day" was written by band member Ted Ottaviano, who also sings the lead vocals on the track. It became the second Book of Love song to feature him on lead vocals. The single was featured in Jonathan Demme's 1991 film, The Silence of the Lambs. In a strange twist of fate, band member Lauren Roselli was cast in the role of Stacy Hubka in the movie. "We were working on Candy Carol while Jonathan was working on Silence [of the Lambs]. I played him a rough mix of the record and I think he liked "Sunny Day" and felt he could use it somewhere in the film." -Lauren Roselli Johnson, 2009 The song was initially remixed by Ben Grosse and released as a CD promo single and cassette single. Shortly thereafter, the band themselves remixed the track, and this remix appeared on their following single "Counting The Rosaries", the CD maxi-single edition of which also included the Ben Grosse remix."Sunny Day" was reworked in 1993 for Ted Ottaviano's post Book of Love project with Basil Lucas, Doubleplusgood. The 1993 version, found on Sire's 1993 compilation, New Faces, features Lambert Moss on vocals and is more of a dance oriented track. In 2001, "Sunny Day" was once again re-recorded as a new version, for the band's best of compilation, I Touch Roses: The Best of Book of Love. The 2001 version of "Sunny Day" featured Lori Lindsay on guitar, who would later become the lead vocalist of The Myrmidons, Ted Ottaviano and Lauren Roselli's band formed in the mid-2000s. more »

Tears fall from the sky
Like raindrops from your eyes
Tears fall from the sky
Like raindrops from your eyes

It only takes a sunny day
To find a way
It only takes a little time
To open up your mind

I wonder if you'll ever know
That love makes our spirit glow
I wonder if you'll ever know
That love makes our spirit glow

It only takes a sunny day
To find a way
It only takes a little time
To open up your mind, mind

Get on your knees and pray
The sun will shine one day
