Everyday
The story behind the song
"Everyday" captures the sweet anticipation of a love that feels destined to arrive. It’s a song about patiently waiting, knowing that a special connection is getting "closer" each day, even if the days themselves seem to stretch on. Recorded in 1957, this track marked a shift for Buddy Holly, moving towards a gentler pop sound, with Holly on acoustic guitar, knee slaps for percussion, and a celesta adding to its light, airy feel. It’s a perfect tune for channeling that hopeful, tender feeling of expecting something wonderful.
