"Days Like This" is a popular song written by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison and the title song of his 1995 album.

Morrison has often performed this song in concert appearances including his 2006 appearance at the Austin City Limits Festival.

Recording and composition

"Days Like This" was recorded during the 1993-1994 sessions at Wool Hall Studios, Beckington and the Real World in Bath, Somerset.[1]

Van Morrison's daughter, Shana Morrison sings duets and backup on tracks from the album containing this song.[2]

Legacy

It became the official anthem of the peace movement in Northern Ireland and the Northern Ireland Office used it along with "Brown Eyed Girl" as theme music for a television advertisement promoting the cease fire. Morrison performed it for an audience of 60-80,000 people when President Bill Clinton visited Belfast, Northern Ireland on 30 November 1995. Clinton, himself a saxophonist, had shown an appreciation for Morrison's music and had wanted to perform but was advised against it by security officers.[3][4]

In the media

In 1997, "Days Like This" was featured on the soundtrack of the film, As Good as It Gets. In 2007, it was one of the songs used on the soundtrack of the film, Eye See Me. It was played several times in the 2007 film, Because I Said So. It has also been used in a Channel 7 Australia ad campaign
