It's A Fine Day by Jane And Barton

Edward Barton wrote the lyrics as a poem when living in the Hulme area of Manchester. It was originally sung unaccompanied by, and credited to, Jane - that is, Jane Lancaster, Barton's girlfriend. They recorded and released it independently, and it was played by radio DJ John Peel. It was then heard by Iain McNay of Cherry Red Records, who obtained the rights to the record and released it more widely on his label in 1983. It reached # 5 on the UK Indie Chart, and later appeared, credited to Jane and Barton, on their eponymous mini-album Jane and Barton.

Amazing. This made generations of yougsters dance there asses off... From Opus III to Orbital to James Holden... Just amazing.

[@MarkRose1337]

And it's still getting remixed today

[@sowpmactavish]

this made me grow an entire forest on my back

[@plaguedoctorthesecond601]

me too man

[@glynjones2587]

Edward Barton, what a genius.

[@JaysonElliot]

I had no idea about this song. I nearly broke down in tears. Amazing.

[@mrcr0wn147]

The lyrics has been used by many dj's en producers with a lot of views. But almost nobody knows the original song. Still creepy tho

[@andreitarkovsky3214]

weirdest thing to cry about

[@Dollymayfrosty]

There's a whole Japanese urban legend about this song, because it was used in a Kleenex commercial there. xD

[@thesapphireimperial4725]

Lol thats how I found it haha

[@calypsopiter]

Da-da-da-dada tears an iceberg into pieces with its tenderness

[@daywalker3735]

WOW i had no idea this existed! I've listened to the techno version so many times for so many years

[@oh_rhythm]

Where in the world does one come up with such melodies in the early 80s?
This is from another world...
Is she Irish? Welsh maybe?

[@CastleHassall]

according to some anthropologists there were theories that people back then were capable of primitive melody creation but it has never been proven.. smh

[@jdmjesus6103]

Something about this song with that video just creeps me out totally. Could be out of a horror film. Not sure if that was intentional.

[@josearenas1434]

Greetings from Bogotá COLOMBIA, listening now, 29 -05-2021💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝.

[@LadyBloodyWrists]

Most beautiful voice ever

[@ryanmagnon2516]

I used to play this to my unicorn-ogre when he was a baby.

[@Nostryck]

I discovered this music thanks to the hardcore remix of Dj anime. The air of this music remains in the head is pleasant there, as well the remix as the original. I'm glad I stumbled here today

[@memoryroom6388]

Amazing.

[@rinsedpie]

excellent lullaby; maybe when I was a baby, my mom would have sung me songs like these

[@bombastisch9146]

That scares me!

[@RianLyons]

This song is haunting and ethereal. I’ve heard an EDM version of this but I can’t remember who it was by.

[@amaymankad121]

Mike Koglin remix or James Holden remix or ATB remix as well.

[@patggle1855]

also a classic: ATB - It's a fine day

[@pauliusgecas472]

[@fischkekskreistoast4914]

Opus III

[@written12]

So wistful. The first time I’ve heard it

[@bobjackson6524]

Wistful indeed
🙏

[@astravx8783]

KLEENEX!!

[@CANNED_POSSUMS]

I’m here because of The Kleenex commercial and ScareTheater telling me the name of the song

[@Waxadisc]

opus 3 had us all fooled. I thought it was written by her .

[@djbethell]

I had a car like that.

[@datatsushi2016]

This is the scariest thing i've heared in quite some time.

[@saxoul17]

this is beautiful and melancholic

[@truthhurts79]

Very haunting and eerie

[@AndytheChav]

I have to say I was 11 or 12 when the original came out and I can't remember it... in fact, it wasn't until an ex-boyfriend of mine in Brighton played it to me that I learned that it wasn't an 'Opus lll' tune after all... although, this was back in the 90's.
Fantastic song though!

[@dewulf2]

major thx for putting this up....i love the Opus III cover, but without any backing, plus the wartime theme of the video, it makes a much more haunting impression, as mentioned by some here

[@glitchy1324]

its like..hauntingly beautiful.kinda

[@sberky98]

i hate when im listening to this song with my demon baby and my cleenex (i wont bother spellchecking) flies away

[@fourutubez7294]

Damn I have dust or something in my eye . Beautiful

[@bornrevolution]

i had no idea the sample from Fine Day by Miss Jane was from this.

[@PM-xd6nv]

Here from Opus III and Euphonik.

[@andrewdrummond-burnett2945]

Love Ed Barton.

[@BlakeBlackstone]

We will have salad.

[@csablan3829]

[@KSF-fc1tc]

It's so calming

[@jeremykeeler366]

God, I've had this in my head since John Peel played it when it came out. Been trying to find it ever since, but couldn't get past that bloody disco mix grrr. Gideon Coe played the Shushy Song last night on 6music and I was released, after 40-plus years...

[@qoaa]

Orbital Halcyon on and on remixed this

[@djhatstand7312]

Well no, they took they Opus 3 version and reversed Kirsty Hawkshaw’s vocals, that’s why Kirsty appears in the video to Halycon & On doing the washing up

[@Zach_Beebe]

I loved that album!

[@RMcarphotography]

Puregoodnes came out of these samples.

[@markpenrice6253]

We Will Have Salad totally should have been a John Peel Band Name.

[@ai6054]

[@Константин-ш4ф5ф]

Клип напоминает творчество Тарковского
