"Beautiful Day" belongs to Revolt, the second album from the UK rock band 3 Colours Red, released on Creation in 1999. Pete Vuckovic wrote it, and Dave Eringa, the producer known for his work with the Manic Street Preachers, was behind the desk as the band reached for a glossier, more commercial sound. Chris Sheldon mixed it. The song brings in a string section of guests: Sally Herbert and Anne Stephenson on violin, Gini Ball, Claire Orsler and Jocelyn Pook on viola, and Dinah Beamish on cello.
Revolt climbed to 17 in the UK, but the band called it quits at their peak, with only 2 singles from the album out, both of them top-40 hits.
