"Just a Day" is a song by Feeder, released as the band's final single of 2001, notable for being their last with drummer Jon Lee. The Alan Moulder Mix featured as the opening track for the European version of Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec. It was first released on the "Seven Days in the Sun" single as a b-side. It was released as a single as it was included on the Gran Turismo soundtrack; it is a common misconception that "pressure from fans" was the reason. Despite having already appeared in the top 20 earlier in the year as a B-side, the single A-side release stayed in the top 20 for 4 weeks, peaking at number 12. It instantly became a regular to end the band's live sets, but has been occasionally rested from this position for a cover of "Breed" by Nirvana, while never used as one of the "Feeder covers" at Renegades gigs. "Just a Day" has sold over 100,000 downloads and physical copies combined. Feeder's performance of Just A Day on CD:UK in December 2001 was Feeder's last with Jon Lee. The week Jon Lee died, the band were due to appear on ''Top of the Pops'' performing "Can't Stand Losing You", a cover of The Police which appears on CD1 of this EP. Their place was taken by Ash performing "There's a Star". Before the release of the single, Feeder had already appeared on ''Later... with Jools Holland'' for the first time. This would be the last time Jon would perform with the band in a live setting as CD:UK was not fully live, they ended the show with the aforementioned "Can't Stand Losing You". ==History== Feeder had already enjoyed a successful 2001 by the time "Just a Day" was released as a stand-alone single in December of that year. "Buck Rogers" had given them their first top 10 single and had then repeated the success with the attendant album ''Echo Park''. "Just a Day" stayed in the UK top 20 for four uninterrupted weeks and featured on "Seven Days in the Sun", as a b-side after being originally planned for their 1999 album ''Yesterday Went Too Soon''. It later was included on ''The Singles'' in 2006, making it the first time the radio edit version of the track was on an album. The song describes the concept of waking up in the morning after heavy drinking the night before, while realizing the person has messed up a relationship in the process. The single was also released as an orange vinyl, with a Brian Serper mix of the main track as its A-side although the differences are hardly noticeable. The single is especially notable as it was released as an EP, ''Just a Day E.P.''. This makes the release Feeder's sixth EP. 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「Just a Day」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
