In the new issue of Classic Rock magazine, Ozzy Osbourne goes deep on the making of his follow-up to 2020’s Ordinary Man and lavishes praise upon Eric Clapton for his “fucking great” contribution to One Of Those Days, one of the album’s highlights. The song features the chorus lyric “One of those days that I don’t believe in Jesus”, a sentiment Ozzy fully expects to “cause shit.”
“It’s not an I Am An Anti-Christ song,” he clarifies. “It’s about those days where everything goes fucking wrong, and you’re going nuts trying to fix everything up.”
The singer admits that, on first hearing the lyric, 77-year-old Clapton expressed some concern, causing Ozzy to consider altering the lyric.
“He said, ‘Oh, I’m not sure about that lyric’,” Ozzy reveals. “So, we tried to replace it with some alternatives. We did ‘One of those days where I don’t believe in Christmas” but it didn’t sound right. Losing faith in Jesus makes much more sense when the world is turning to shit.”
