Keep fighting. This song got me through a very rough chapter in my life. I struggle with depression and anxiety A LOT as well. The best way to play this song is sitting outside when spring has just hit and it's just warm enough to sit outside. Sit out there and take the time to appreciate your surroundings. It will INSTANTLY put you in a better mood. And it has a special even more powerful meaning to me. As I got reacquainted with this song during an extremely cold winter. The last winter we spent in a house that had no proper heat, was rather rundown with serious water and mould damage and was just getting worse and worse. This song reminded me that the winter would soon be over and gave me hope and inspiration to pick myself back up again and look forward to the future. That spring, I and my family moved out of that house. My mom got a new job in town and we were able to afford a reasonable place to live ever since then playing this song no matter what time of year (although spring works best) reminds me of that place I was in. How cold and scared I felt only to listen to this song and have my mood do a 180. It was like God was saying "It's going to be alright":)
struggled with severe depression for years, and listening to this song either made me cry, or put a huge smile on my face. i almost feel like the song was meant for me. But i bet a lot of people benefit from their music.
You are not alone. This song has saved me more than once. (At least one time quite literally: on a too-late, too-long nighttime drive, I blasted this at full volume with the windows down and it woke me up at 2 AM.)
Probably my favorite song from my childhood right here. Can't be sad listening to this. It's absolutely impossible. I could be having the shittiest luck and day, and this song always turns it around for me.
There is nothing more empowering then positive music. I remember going for a drive with my parents to see my therapist when I was 13. I was ate one of the lowest points in my life as far as depression and self esteem. I got bullied ruthlessly and had put on about 50 pounds over 4 months, At 13 I thought that looks determined everything and I felt ugly. I remember listening to this song and thinking to myself "Does my body shape really mean that i am uneligable for experiencing joy and being happy? That is ridiculous!" I instantly felt happier (BEFORE I got to see my therapist). It was just an ordinary day, but it was also an empowering day because of my state of mind.
This song did wonders for me too. I have had a rough time struggling with severe social phobia and depression. My brother used to listen to this song a lot and I rediscovered it a year ago. It couldn't have come at a better time. We were in an extreme cold snap and we were stuck in a house we had been living at for almost 20 years with no proper heat at all. We were all very sick for the entire month of Jan and Feb. I would go to sleep wearing my winter jacket and still be cold. Due to our financial situation at the time We didn't have any other place to live. This song made me feel warm and think of summer as well as give me tools to combat my awful automatic depressing thoughts. 4 months later I started meds for my anxiety, I started making webcomics and sharing them, a couple months after that we moved out of the house and into town where we now have heat and everytime I listen to this song I think about how much hope for the future it gave me and how much warmth it made me feel in one of the darkest and scariest times of my life. I still listen to it whenever I am down.
Congrats! I'm not sure what that is, but I just had to stop in to give ya props and say that's the most bizarre compliment I've ever seen given to a band 😂
I lost my son to cancer. He wasn't a child... he had a chance to experience life... but I lost him. I want to say that this song did a LOT to pull me out of the depth of despair. Thank you. Life goes on. At the end of the day, it's alright. From a proud Canadian
This is the song that made me fall in love with this band. At their prime I knew every song off by heart and still do. Even seen them twice in concert.
First concert I ever went to was GBS when I was like 8 years old. Amazing, it was the loudest concert I've ever experienced. And I loved every minute of it
Heard this song for the first time in years the other day, and it couldn't have come at a better time. The lyrics are so uplifting its been helping me power through some rough days
Robert... I've got a smile on my face and 4 walls around me.... I've been battered but I have never been bruised.. At the end of day you just have to smile and say that it is just a ordinary day .... Whenever you turn on your phone again Robert... Smile and laugh and say.... . Its just an ordinary day..... You make me smile baby... Enjoy this song whenever you turn on your phone again Robert...

My friend was in a car accident some years ago, and I sent her this song to calm her down and realize that sometimes, things happen. It isn't you who did it, it is you who react to it. Love you, Great Big Sea!
I Love Canada! considering the fact that i live in British Columbia :) I love Canada itself, no province is better than others. everyone is beautiful, and we're all very kindly to each other. I love Canada.
love you guys...to be honest I only found out about you guys because of a book by a certain author and former band mate of yours...my mother was from Newfoundland i lost her when I was 1 1/2 years old so I am digging around to see what her home is like i really love the book and those tunes are catchy....
I remember having this on my walkman when I walked into the "Canadian" Pub in London....and got to play it to the bar staff.....one by one they passed it on to each other....all ex pat Canadians - and this made them miss our shores.....Fantastic Band....and a great party band too!
Saw these guys in an outdoor concert. Instantly a fan. Fun, upbeat, playful bunch. I listen to this song a lot. Always leaves me smiling. That's my Ordinary Day.
I was talking about music I liked and a friend recommended this to me. I hesitated to listen because I'm very picky about new music. Loved it by about 45 seconds in
I always sing this song when I'm down and it instantly lifts my spirits. So grateful for every ordinary day I've been given :) Thanks for the song, guys!
I play this song on guitar all the time in front of people, and half the magic is their tears of happieness, still makes me cry playing it. The other half of the magic is the fact almost none of them have heard of it before. Music rocks! Always gives me what I need, when I need it.
Spiratonix Coxworthy Newfoundland Folk music , not Atlantic Canadian GBS was entirely made up of Newfoundlanders until late in their career. I don’t know why you people like to claim our shit as your own.
@huskymia I love the East Coast accents. Could listen to to 'em all day. I saw a documentary which said that the accent is that of the original settlers from the 16th -17th centuries (much in the same way that Quebecois joual is 17th century French). What I love about these guys is that they always look like they're at a house party. You could see them sitting in the kitchen, just jamming.
This song has singlehandedly gotten me through alot of shit through both life and soulsborne games so i guess thanks to everyone who had a part in this song and to ymfah
Thanks man!!! My Uncle works on the tugs in Saint John. I am planning on going to Holland College in P.E.I. The HC program is kind of like an apprenticeship one.

I listened to this song before I went to Canada’s wonderland for the first time. That park let me let my roller coaster nerd out and show a whole different part of myself to the world. This is coming from teenage girl in dance who is a pretty average joe. I felt inspired 🤪
Remember you guys from drinking with you and listening to your singing in the Rams Head in Annapolis, by the riverside in Richmond and Wolf Trap VA...yeah good times. Now I'm just middle aged :-(
This song kicked my depression’s ass, at least for a couple days. Got to feel some actual happiness again for a short while.
“Ready” by Trooper always puts a little pep in my step on those bad days. Keep smiling.
