Musical artists in various genres joined forces on Friday August 15th at the Pinnacle in Nashville to perform songs, raise awareness, and help garner donations for the organization Stand Up To Cancer. When I initially saw the performer announcement, I thought Dan + Shay would be singing one of their songs during the event. To my surprise, they sang a cover of U2's "Beautiful Day" alongside The Jonas Brothers who have made pop music together and have also had individual careers.
Dressed in their Stand Up To Cancer t-shirts, the brothers, consisting of Joe, Nick, and Kevin Jonas, traded off vocals during the first verse and chorus of the song. Then the pop music group brought out Dan + Shay to continue the song, who were also sporting their Stand Up To Cancer t-shirts. Shay Mooney sang the second verse and chorus while Dan Smyers provided his beautiful harmonies. The duo and The Jonas Brothers collaborated on the bridge, final verse, and chorus.
With the second verse's lyrics, "You're on the road, but you've got no destination/You're in the mud, in the maze of her imagination/You love this town even if that doesn't ring true/You've been all over, and it been all over you" and the chorus' lyrics, "It's a beautiful day/Sky falls, you feel like/It's a beautiful day/Don't let it get away", and other painted pictures throughout the song, it was the perfect cover for this event. The lyrics talk about that while times in your life can be rough, it is still a beautiful day and things will get better. The track spreads hope and positivity, especially in the chorus amidst the challenges that someone might be facing in their life.
