re: 'Sometimes A Day Goes By'
I've worked on this song a lot in a class. I've also performed it- it is most def a ballad to me. In the context of the show "Woman of the Year," and reading the lyrics out- it doesn't make a lot of sense for it to be "upbeat." In my personal opinion the only reason it could maybe be made more uptempo would be by having the emotion and drive behind it. Josh Young covers it on his CD and its a ballad- its up on itunes. That could be some help.
