Bless you soul Stepen. May you enjoy this again for many more years to come

Loved it in 1977 when I was 27. Still love it in 2020 when I am 69. A lovely timeless song.

I hope you are having a lovely day, my friend

Right here

Real

Yes! 🙌

❤

@@lisa.user-xm7kz2tb6x This sound is eternal💫💫😍😍

Agreed 🙏 bring the positivity ❤

wouldn`t that be a trip. what happened to us? this used to be our theme song😢

😢

I see a lot of people did what I did after seeing your likes. Ran to UKposts to hear his music after hearing of his passing.

RIP Bill. Songs such as this will always live on

Rip, he will be missed 😢💔👼

Rip brother💝💝🙏🙏 but your music will live on.

Used to be able to do the first part but after a lifetime of smoking, I can only do the second part now.

@@jeffsullivan2044 Damn. Hey, at least you can still sing! Hope you're doing well.

Lmao 😂😂😂 facts

@@aarontheperson6867 👍lol

Or the third group: those who are holing the note until they can and the sing lovely day in the background 🤗

True that!

I was like this some time ago, then I changed my job... It's alright now!

I do the same, it's amazing how one tune can change your mind set.

Yesss!! This song and Sly and the Family Stone Hot Fun in the Summertime always lifts me up 😊

..even when it rains ☔️

I'm listening to this on April 25, 2024 eating lunch at the mall in Sarasota, Fl and it's a "LOVELY DAY"! Cheers!

Thank you!! You as Well!!

Natan Jacksoη he would you to still have a lovely day 😊

He's in a better place

You’re right Natan. The world seems to keep getting darker, and losing Bill seems so unfair. Losing him sucks for humanity

Not at all.

@@yikes9205 Dont be sad that hes gone. Be happy he was here. Fly high Bill in the next life we will all meet soon :)

Like that

❤❤

Truth

That's beautiful. It reminds me of what Yoko Ono told little Sean Lennon after John died: "He used to be here. Now he's everywher."

Stop giving white people all the credit for something black people created.

I was born in 1977! Great song!!

Is it that old? Damn, I'm class of '80

I am curious if he really held it for that long.... I think it was a track on a track. Not saying it isn't possible but there was ZERO degradation through the note. Either way what a brilliant songwriter and singer!

​@@realboltfanthere actually is very slight note degradation, but you have to listen very closely

@@Muzan_JacksonHEEHEE if he is able to hold that note with such perfection thats crazy impressive. I just question because I never a saw a live version where he even came close. Could be though. What a man.

It did in the Guinness record!!!

It's possible you have to take a huge breath but it's possible. Plus this is a studio version I'm sure they cleaned up the imperfections.

Stay positive my man do new activities,discover something else by yourself.The world is such a beautiful place that while we still have time,do all your things with smile.Love you from Turkey.

Lambent......its not how many times we fall but how many times we get ip dust ourselves off and move forward..better days await us...so hang in there

When I was going through the worst time of my life I made this song my alarm clock. Helped a lot

You got this. I've been dealing with it for a long time. So I no you can do it. Always keep your family and friends close. They will help. God bless.

GOOD FOR YOU!!! All the best to you! I think everyone should listen to this song, it will never fail to lift your mood, spirit, heart! ❣️

It does indeed Thank you Mr. Withers friend 🌞✨

Amen

OMG QUEEN SO TRUE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Zariyah Rakari you hit it on the money 💯🙏🏽

Amen to that. A legend

You as well ❤

It’s impossible not to feel better after listening to this song

⁠​⁠@@donofreebro7789 years ago I got to see the late Smoken Joe Frazier working his son in the gym with hope he could be a champion. While Marvis worked out they had this song on the gym speakers

Thanks 🎉🙏

I loaded this song onto a USB stick and have been playing it in the car regularly (bare minimum, once a week) for about a year now. Very sad to hear of Mr. Withers passing. :-(

dude same its crazy 😢😢

Mee too

I’ve been listening to it all year, look n for inspiration. RIP Bill

I was listening to grandmas hands like 4 days ago! So sad....RIP Bill

Very Profound brotha

Well said 😊

Bill you were such a class act. Genuine human being ; who was raised by his Grandmother. Father died when he was 13 ! Thanks for keeping it real & genuine. Truly a one of a kind smooth soulful baritone ! 😇

I do the same. I play Sounds of Blackness Optimistic followed by this. Sets the tone for every day!!! God Bless

Corn ball lmao!!!

@@joice2871 yet here you are commenting! Who's the corn ball here? Ctfu 🤦🏻‍♂️

​@joice2871 people like you don't listen to bill. Your a poser. Cornball was the most cornballiest thing a cornball could say. Repent to christ

I Play this for my son in the morning 😆 This guy loves it

and I'm in the background singing "lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, Love-ly day" lolol

Love these comments, made me actually lol

Amen to that!

Good idea!!!

Yassssss 🥰🥰🥰

I normally do not need an alarm clock to wake up but I am starting a new job where I will be working overnight and sleeping during the day. Will need to figure out how to set my phone alarm to this

My teacher plays this song every morning when we enter online class

My friend and I had just discussed this song about a week ago. I told him that this song represents my son to me and how I sing it to him whenever it comes on. My son has no idea how many days he has brightened just by me seeing his face. Songs that have that kind of connection are timeless. Bill Withers was timeless.

Immediately..bless him

me in Twitter, great artist

rip bill

I listen to this song all the time

hahahah😂

Almost want to cry

@@skeltonjack55 when I was listening to his music in tribute to him I almost did

I hope/pray for that you pull through and make a full recovery. If not, please do not be offended, then I pray for that you have come in terms with being yourself and are ready to leave at peace, happy, despite the current pain. Be patient, keep remaining strong, brace yourself. It's your body trying to fight what was created in the body. It's a war going on right now in your body, but your mind is the actual battlefield. Your coming here to listen to something positive, tells me that you are strong. You are strong.

LOVE YOU TOO

Stay strong and fight! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

İ hope you'll recover as short as possible.

hoping for a strong recovery, keep fighting ❤️

This comment deserves more likes 🤣

How do you know?

lmao, true

Yeah really not a lot of songs that make me happier than this one

@@marialogan939 it’s a joke

RyuTempest and Kenny Rogers and pop smoke and Neil Peart

@@jacbaby5975 how can I forget Kenny Rogers. Sighs* thanks man.

2020 will get better as soon as it progresses.

@@popcultureo4246 well I sure hope it can't get worse.

G shit this man and Kobe!

Me too...RIP, Sir

Same, rip bill withers

RIP Legend!

Same here. Generally a '60s and '70s rock guy but so long that it's not new and mainstream I'll take whatever. This song is legendary, and may you rest in peace Mr. Withers D*:

This just poped in my recommendation when i woke up.

99999949499994995

Definitely

I luv it 2 da fullest r.i.p og

✌️

Nice

Everyone liked that

This is lovely. Have a good day keep going:)

"Lovely Day" is one of those timeless songs like "Happy" by Farrell and "I Can See Clearly Now" by the late Johnny Nash that will always lift your spirits and your attitude🤗🌞😎

@@wil4673 lasaid

Well said

Truly sorry for you all. Keep up the good work of being an awesome parent. 😊😊😊

LOVELY DAY

We get knocked down so we can learn to pick ourselves up, and it seems like your son learned that faster than I ever could! He will grow into a great young man regardless of his condition. God bless you and your family :) keep on groovin!

OhItsDJ definitely gonna keep groovin!!

hi. have a lovely day

True words spoken.

❤

I'm alone too my friend....and hearing this song 🎵 is like nurturing your soul. BLESS ALL YOUR DAYS WITH SMILES 😂❤❤❤❤❤

Hugs

Truth✊

It’s likable until the media spams it so much it in dozens of commercials and talk shows becomes extremely annoying.

So true!

People with no taste in music! How this song doesn't raise your spirits and mood, then you must have a heart of stone

@@leesabaccellieri8715 People do have taste in music, but the media that distributes it has no soul. To make it so commonplace in pop culture that not one person who would normally love this song, for example, would like it again when set in the context of a primary program. This song deserves its own spotlight.

God bless your father.

Whoa! Poignant post!!

Support your father

I declare healing on your dad in Jesus name

Remember, Brian when "looks at you he knows its gonna be a lovely day!

I’m so sorry for your great loss. Praying for you.🙏🏼

The more LOVE❤ THE MORE LOSS 💔

Beautiful memories to hold forever. And a beautiful song to remember her by. Sorry for both your losses. Sending my hugs and prayers.

😂

U wouldn know what song will be playin after u died🤣

God doesn't exist

I'm so sad.

From your fans in the 🇬🇧 Thankyou Bill for your music & your distinctive voice.

Sad indeed.

Which one?

Me. Eternally good song

63 yrs young. Just finished "Grandma's Hands" & "Use Me" is next.

I use this to wake up my brothers in the morning 😂

I totally agree with you Toby!

Me too....

I just heard it on a commercial myself. cha ching $$$

all state commercial, lol.

@James Reading up up the guy. They said he was a very good Business man and invested wisely. His Family is making Bank No doubt. But Hell he was 80 when he died of a heart attack. I can only hope to make it that far..

James I don’t care that u don’t care😐

But are waiting for us in a beautiful, peaceful place.

Oh boy that's so sweet and sad at the same time.. hope he's living a good and lovely life in the other world, he really deserves it..

If you don't repent turn from Satan to God you will burn in hell. Turn to Jesus or burn in hell

@@richardgraciano2489 I mean, I'm a Christian as well, but I don't think you should bring stuff like that up unless someone asks. It's kind of awkward and showcases social unawareness when you just throw in religion to things. People are just here respecting Mr. Withers. We're not really debating theology.

@@richardgraciano2489 that's rough

Nice sentiment💜

Love that! 💗🎶🙏

He is still alive in this world through his stunning music

I listen to him all the time, since I was in 5th grade. I’m 22 now

Same here. Been listening to his music a lot since start of 2020. With all that's going on now, trying to channel good feeling of this song. RIP Mr. Withers...May everybody stay home (if you can), stay safe and have many more lovely days to come.

Same!

I have been listening to this song on repeat for about a week. Loved his voice.

I feel the same way. Stay strong and safe.

Hurt my heart too

I have been strong but this broke me too Thank you Mr. Withers your songs are forever burned into my heart with pure joy! Rest in Pure Joy friend 🙏🏼✨🌞

Me too

After I read your post, I did as well. Be well.

Lmao

It sounds like you let the vibes enter into your soul brother! Sending you peace and love ❤️

@Ryan Castro.....I'm praying for you. Jesus is the answer HE died loving you. Love Him back cuz He is comin' back SOON. Know you are loved and precious and a diamond in His eyes. So....I'm praying that you have a lovely day! God bless

Aw that's wonderful to hear. Music helps with my depression too.

Amazing Giving Thanks for you! Praise TMH

Sending you love ❤️

@@nehamathur3141 thank you and blessings to you.

Sending you Love today! I too know what it means when time heals wounds. My first husband and I had a terrible motorcycle accident after a year of marriage. He was a head injured person and I had to end the marriage for safety of me and my kids. The 20+ years later I was able to reconnect with my high school sweetheart and marry him. It took a while but I was able to trust love and life again.

I literally did not ask

@@YuhHuh519 lol who's talking to you

I second that, and may God go with you.

I'm going to listen to this song every day until our Country is healed. May God bless us ALL. 💕

You are so right

I use to put the record on in the morning when I'd be getting ready for high school!😄

Yes!!!!

Awe that is so sweet

He said thank you and god bless you 🙏🙏

Go go Nana

Wonderful!!! 💗😁🤗😊☝️👌

This is so sweet it made me tear up! Your musical great taste is raising a grandson with great taste, too. 🤗❤☺

Nicely done.

@Jack Casey Dear Jack thank you for the spelling corrections. I did correct them. Unlike you, Hebrew is my mother tongue. Let's see if you can write some words in Hebrew. I do my best when it comes to expressing myself in a foreign language and sometimes I make mistakes. Nevertheless the important fact is that Billie Withers's music crosses nations and Languages and penetrate the hearts of millions human beings all over the world. Thank you again and stay healthy.

conrad ford Thank you ❤️

So true my friend 👋, he was a year older than my mom!! God bless him, loved his voice!!! Rest in peace Bill Withers 👼😢. Much love from Bunn NC, take care of yourself and your family during this coronovirus pandemic ok?! I'm praying for everyone in the world. Peace out for now my friend 👋.

@@LoLo-kn2xb lol all these kids same this same damn quote when Juice Wrld died lol just a copy and paste

@@zhanejackson5062 🌚

So sorry for your loss~God rest her soul~The Butterfly story In a green meadow filled with Milkweed and flowers there lived a colony of caterpillars.They were a happy colony, living a quiet life in the cool shade.For many months they were very busy, scurrying around and munching on the soft Milkweed leaves. They did notice that every once in a while one of the colony seemed to lose interest in crawling around with its friends.It would go off alone and crawl high up in the trees.It gradually moved out of sight and was seen no more.” Look!”said one of the caterpillars to another,one of our colony is climbing up to the tops of the trees. Where do you think he is going?” Up,up and up it slowly went…even as they watched,the caterpillar disappeared from sight it’s friends waited and waited but it didn’t return.” That’s funny!” said one caterpillar to another.”Wasn’t he happy here?” asked another. “Where do you suppose he went ?”wondered a third. No one had an answer. They were greatly puzzled. Finally one of the caterpillars gathered its friends together.”I have an idea. The next one of us who climbs to the tops of the trees must promise to come back and tell us where he or she went and why.” “We promise…”they all said solemnly. One spring day not long after the caterpillar who had suggested the plan found himself climbing high up into the trees.Up up and up he went, higher and higher into the trees. Before he knew what was happening he had broken through the canopy of leaves into the warm sunlight and fell into a deep sleep. When he awoke he looked about in surprise. He couldn’t believe what he saw. A startling change had come over his old body. He now had beautiful wings! Even as he struggled he felt an impulse to move his wings. The warmth of the sun soon dried the moisture from his new body. He moved his wings again and suddenly found himself flying into the blue sky. He had become a butterfly. Swooping and dipping in great curves he flew through the air. He felt exhilarated in the new atmosphere. By and by the new butterfly landed on a leaf to rest. Then it was that he chanced to look below to the bottom of the meadow. Why,he was right above his old friends the caterpillars! There they were, crawling around and munching on Milkweed, just as he had been doing before. Then the butterfly remembered his promise. Without thinking the butterfly darted down. He landed on a flower and looked into the grass. Now that he was a butterfly he could no longer go back.”I can’t return!” he said in dismay. At least I tried, but I can’t keep my promise.Even if I could go back, not one of the caterpillars would know me in my new body. I guess I’ll just have to wait until they become butterflies too.Then they’ll understand what has happened to me and where I went.”And the butterfly winged off happily into its new world of sun and air. Dear God, please remember those who have left the meadow we live in, and remember us who are still here. Amen
