Joe McCorriston - Different Seasons

Joe McCorriston
One Day

Jump to...

Joe McCorriston is armed with an acoustic guitar and a solid vocal and brings honest pop music from a punk kid. His album Different Seasons arrived in August and ‘One Day’ sits at the top of a list of eleven songs and is a McCorriston classic.

The guitar provides rhythmic open chords with flickering suspension to liven things up for the intro. The vocal arrives warm and strong, delivering a staccato verse contrasting with a more free melody that swings up and down in the chorus.

The lyrics are reasonably open to interpretation, but you can see some of that promised punk attitude alongside some stoic enjoy the journey philosophy.

In all, this song is well-crafted and shows what Joe can do with a guitar in his hands.

Listen to Joe McCorriston – ‘One Day’.

One Day Lyrics

I think our work here is done
We’ve gone and we’ve had our fun
Made our mess couldn’t care less
Least we do’s fight and protest.

Parade the streets in our noise
Bunch of idiot boys
Where we’re going you take a guess
Truth is we couldn’t care less.

One day, someday
We’ll pass away
And where we’ll go we don’t know
But if we smile
It’ll take a while
To drag us down and go

Morning comes and we say
What did we do yesterday?
Me and friends voice our concerns
About what next we will churn

One day, someday
We’ll pass away
And where we’ll go we don’t know
But if we smile
It’ll take a while
To drag us down and go.

Give us a bell, we’ll unleash hell
And we won’t look back, we’re back on track

One day, someday
We’ll pass away
And where we’ll go we don’t know
But if we smile
It’ll take a while
To drag us down and go
