Jamiroquai - Seven Days In Sunny June
I was planning on posting a different song this morning but this track caught my attention when searching through my iTunes files.The feel of it better matches up with me this morning.
Jamiroquai is an English Acid Jazz/Funk/Disco band that has been around since the early 90s. While the name of the group is more synonymous for front-man Jay Kay (the guy in all the crazy hats), Jamiroqui is definitely a band complete with rotating musicians. Jay Kay formed the band when he didn’t get the gig as lead singer of The Brand New Heavies. Talk about a silver lining.
The band is probably best known stateside for their 1996 single Virtual Insanity. I know that’s when I first heard them (nevermind the fact that I was only 7 when their first album was released). The band has had many musical influences and as such their sound has evolved a lot since 1992. This song is off their 6th album Dynamite. This is one of my favorite tracks by the band so I hope you enjoy it!
PS….if you’re too young (or too old) to remember Virtual Insanity, check the video here.

Jamiroquai - Seven Days In Sunny June
The papers you’ve arranged
In a sense they’re strange
They speak to me like constellations as we lie here
There’s a magic I can’t hold
Your smile of honey gold
And that you never seem to be in short supply of*Chorus*
Oooooh
So baby let’s get it on
Drinkin’ wine and killin’ time
Sitting in the summer sun
You know
I’ve wanted you so long
Why’d you have to drop that bomb on meThe lazy days
Crazy dolls
You said we’ve been friends for too longSeven days in sunny June
But long enough to bloom
The flowers on the sunlight dress you wore in spring
The way we laughed as one
And then you dropped the bomb
But I know you too long for us to have a thing*Chorus 2X*
Gotta get this
The stories in your eyes
Tell of silent wings
You fly away onSeven days in sunny June
But long enough to bloom
The flowers on that sunbeamed dress you wore in spring (Yeah Yeah)
The way we laughed as one
Why did you drop that bomb on me*Chorus*
Could it be this
The honey suckled dancing you’d seem to show me
Could it be this
For seven days in June I wasn’t lonely
Could it be this
You never gave me time to say I love you
Could it be this
I know you don’t believe me but it’s so trueDon’t walk away from me girl (4x)
I read the stories in your eyesIf you’ve been telling me we’ve been friends for too long (Yeah)
Why’d you wanna drop the bomb
Telling me we’ve been friends for too long
Why’d you go and drop the bomb
You tell me that we’ve been friends for too long (Yeah)
