Justin Davies on his debut single, “Unforgetable Days”
“‘Unforgettable Days’ is about lost love, but maybe more importantly, the beauty and magic and foreverness that seems to surround you on certain days or at certain times in life,” says Justin Davies. “The wonderful feeling that envelopes and fills you and is ever-present, long after those days have passed. It is a song of longing and loss, but it makes me feel a sense of promise and hope and nostalgia, maybe not in the lyrics, but in the way it ‘lifts’ in the chorus. And I guess I’m feeling that although life can be sad, there are times when it is also uplifting and overwhelmingly beautiful.
The song reflects on someone I loved a long time ago, a young love, and how overwhelmingly wonderful our days were together. The reflections within ‘Unforgettable Days’ are also connected to words in the song ‘Promises.’ – I remember the day when the light ‘was soft’ in the afternoon and laying on the grass in the middle of a farm paddock. I remember, too many times, kissing away tears when she
felt she had been unloving toward me and was sorry. In the early years we would lay together and fall asleep humming and singing songs together. In later times, I did often reach for her to stay with me during the night and her kissing me goodbye, and how empty I felt. And although she left me, I regret not trying harder to keep her from leaving. But within all of that, I can still feel those beautiful, magical moments, like the afternoon laying in the setting sun in the middle of a farm paddock, and the preciousness of those days lives on.”
