"Light of Day", sometimes written as "(Just Around the Corner to the) Light of Day", is a song written by Bruce Springsteen and performed initially by Joan Jett and Michael J. Fox with their fictitious band The Barbusters in the 1987 film ''Light of Day''. The song has since become a staple in Jett's concerts, often representing the show's high point. The song appeared on the ''Light of Day'' soundtrack album. As a single, it reached number 33 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in April 1987, and it was credited to The Barbusters (Joan Jett and The Blackhearts) on the record label. It received additional album-oriented rock airplay due to its Jett and Springsteen connection. A music video featuring The Barbusters performing the song, interspersed with numerous scenes from the rest of the film, was popular on MTV. The song has also appeared on several Jett compilation albums. In 2011 ''American Songwriter'' named "Light of Day" their Favorite Movie Song. ==Lyrics== "Light of Day" is a powerful guitar-driven, roadhouse-flavored stomper that features Springsteen's usual automotive imagery and includes some of his heartland rock sentiments as well as some of the film's sensibility: :''Well, I've been out of the woods for six days and nights now :''And I'm a little hot wired but I'm feeling all right now :''I got some money in my pocket and I won't need a ride, yeah! :''I gotta make it down to Galveston by Saturday night, yeah :''Well, I'm a little down under but I'm feeling okay :''And I got a little lost down along the way :''Well, I'm just around the corner till the light of day, ye-ah The song's lyrics focus on the quest for happiness amidst life's difficult circumstances, told through the eyes of a person driving and traveling the nation and world in search of something better, only to find that it really existed at home all along. While the song's lyrics do not directly mention either Springsteen's native New Jersey or Jett's native Pennsylvania by name, the song has been interpreted to reference the authenticity of people and places associated with these two states, inspired at least partly by Springsteen's failed marriage to actress Julianne Phillips and Springsteen's brief residence in California with Phillips, which Springsteen has since described disparagingly. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Light of Day (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
