"One Small Day" is the first single from Ultravox's seventh studio album, Lament, released on 26 January 1984. It peaked at #27 in the UK Singles Chart.
The song is unusual for Ultravox in that it is mainly guitar rather than synth driven.
The 'performance' part of the promotional video was shot in very cold conditions over the weekend of Saturday, 14th - Sunday, 15 January 1984, primarily at the Callanish III standing stones site at Callanish on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides (Western Isles) of Scotland. Other non-performance parts were filmed at the main Callanish I standing stones site and edited into the video and featured individual band members reflected in vertically placed triangular-shaped mirrors.
Famous quotes containing the words small and/or day:
“Genius as an explosive power beats gunpowder hollow; and if knowledge, which should give that power guidance, is wanting, the chances are not small that the rocket will simply run amuck among friends and foes.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“I skirted the margin alders for miles and miles
In a sweeping line.
The day was the day by every flower that blooms,
But I saw no sign.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
