Sunny Skies (song)
"Sunny Skies" is a song written by James Taylor that first appeared on his 1970 album '' Sweet Baby James''. It was also released as the B-side to the " Country Road" single. It has since been covered by other artists, including Stéphane Grappelli and Jerry Douglas. Composition and recording Taylor wrote "Sunny Skies" during his treatment at the Austen Riggs Center. The melody is cheerful, which is ironic given the lyrics. Taylor's biographer, Timothy White, describes the melody as "a deceptively upbeat, skiffle-flavored shuffle". The author Stephen Davis describes the song as "jazzy but disconsolate" and James Perrone compares the melody to John Sebastian's song "Daydream". Taylor accompanies himself on acoustic guitar. The title "Sunny Skies" actually does not refer to the condition of the sky, but to the title character of the song, who "sleeps in the morning", "weeps in the evening", "doesn't know when to rise" and has no friends. The last verse links the title character to t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
