Remember, somewhere the sun is shining

“Look for the Silver Lining” is a popular song with music by Jerome Kern and lyrics by B.G. DeSylva. It was written in 1919 for the unsuccessful musical Zip, Goes a Million. In 1920 it was published[1] and reused in the musical Sally whence it was popularized by Marilyn Miller. Among others, the song was later covered several times by Judy Garland, whose version also became, and remains, well-known.

When taken into context with the rest of the album, full of heartbreak and melancholy, it almost seems like the sun has come back to us, telling us to look for the silver lining in a rainy album.

 [Verse:] 

Look for the silver lining 

Whenever a cloud appears in the blue

Remember, somewhere the sun is shining

And so the right thing to do is make it shine for you  

 

A heart, full of joy and gladness 

Will always banish sadness and strife 

So always look for the silver lining 

And try to find the sunny side of life 

 

 A heart, full of joy and gladness

 Will always banish sadness and strife

 So always look for the silver lining

 And try to find the sunny side of life
