Tommy Ashby Returns With A Beautiful Day

Singer-songwriter Tommy Ashby returns with the uplifting single A Beautiful Day. The song is an ensemble of joyous, dreamy soundscapes with gentle vocals and feel-good lyrics, embracing his Scottish folk roots. The heartwarming song features alluring vocals and intricate melodies. 

Tommy Ashby says the song “describes how your memories can change in the remembering. Your recollection of a beautiful day changes over time, some details fall away and others come more sharply into focus. I also wanted to show how experiences are shaped by your mental state at the time. For example, the final verse describes rain on concrete, which wouldn’t be a classically beautiful scene. But the words and music that envelop the scene mean that it is remembered wistfully. The verses describe snapshots of beautiful days, which is often how I remember things. My mind is definitely more of a camera than a video recorder.”

Tommy’s creative energy and songwriting have always drawn inspiration from the countryside. Originally from the Scottish borders, the artist grew up writing and playing music in the wilds of Scotland.
