"Everyday" is the closing track and third radio single from Dave Matthews Band's album Everyday. It reached #36 on the Top 40 Mainstream, #38 on Modern Rock Tracks, and #8 on Adult Top 40. A live version of "Everyday" is featured on the Dave Matthews Band compilation album The Best of What's Around Vol. 1. The song evolved from an earlier DMB song entitled #36.
When the song is played live, the song #36 is mixed in with the song Everyday. It is also a tradition for the crowd to sing, "Honey, Honey, [sometimes transcribed as 'Hani, Hani'] Come and dance with me" during the parts of the song that #36 mixes in with. This can be heard on such CDs as The Best of What's Around Vol. 1, Live Trax Vol. 6, The Gorge, Live at Folsom Field, Boulder, Colorado, and on Weekend on the Rocks.
On September 21, 2001, Dave Matthews played an acoustic version of the song as part of the America: A Tribute to Heroes concert, performed in remembrance of the victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
The song wasn't originally supposed to be the third single off of the album. "When the World Ends" was originally supposed to be the single, but after 9/11 it was thought that the dark title would not be appropriate.
A music video for the song features actor Judah Friedlander walking around hugging people, including Conan O'Brien, Vincent Pastore, Sheryl Crow, Blue Man Group and Tiki Barber, as well as the band themselves.
The song was parodied by Jimmy Fallon in his opening act for the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards.
The song #36 was written in response to the assassination of Chris Hani, who worked to end South African apartheid
"Everyday" is a song by American rock band Bon Jovi. It was released as the lead single off the band's 2002 album Bounce. It was written by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and Andreas Carlsson.
