“Black Days” is one of those songs that refused to disappear. I wrote it as a child and recorded it with Mr. Conroy decades later.

The song is about isolation and rejection — and the stubborn attempt to make black days turn out bright.
The soft, acoustic arrangement gradually builds around subtle blues guitar and the emotional pull of alternative rock.
Verse:
It is hard to say you’re sorry
when everybody’s against you
Hold on to your armchair
When the world is out to get you
Chorus:
I had some black day
And I tried to make 'em turn out bright
By staring straight into the light
I tried to tell you
But in ways i’d 'ready lost the fight
And nothing seemed to matter anymore
Verse:
It is hard to say you’re sorry
when everybody’s against you
Hold on to your armchair
When the world is out to get you
Chorus:
I had some black day
And I tried to make 'em turn out bright
By staring straight into the light
I tried to tell you
But in ways i’d 'ready lost the fight
And nothing seemed to matter anymore
Bridge:
I’m standing outside your house
And all the lights are on
And I knock on the door
But I, I can’t get in
You don’t know how it is
To be turned away
You don’t know how it is
When noone wants to play
Chorus x2
