Story behind the song
Written on spec in response to a listing looking for a song to be played in a car commercial and reintroducing a global auto brand.
I incorporated the client's suggested lyrical themes: "Positive change, a new day, what a difference a year makes, growth, progress, getting better, improving, changing looks, a better view, this is the day"
They did not want anything too supercharged or too slow.
I decided to write in a current Pop-Rock vein--perhaps similar to Coldplay/Foo Fighters.
Lyrics
I’m not going to lie, it’s been a rough time
I was broken down by the side of the road
There’s no one to blame, the fault was all mine
But now I’m moving on, the chapter is closed
I’ve changed my looks, i’ve changed my mind
And I’m leaving only dust behind
There’s a whole new me that’s coming out
And it’s getting better all the time
It’s a brand new day
Oh, what a difference, what a difference a year can make
I’m feeling good and going the distance
A brand new day!
Are you coming along on this good ride
You can choose your own destination
The future’s never looked so bright
All the clouds have gone, it’s a blue horizon
We’ll get everywhere by leaps and bounds
And with vision better than twenty/twenty
I promise I will make you proud
You’ll be staying safe and warm with me
It’s a brand new day, etc…
It’s a brand new day and I’m changing, changing, I’m not the same
It’s a brand new day and I’m growing, improving all the way, hey!
It’s a brand new day
Yes, it’s a brand new day
Oh, etc…
It’s a brand new day
Oh, what a difference, what a difference a year can make
I’m feeling good and going the distance
This is my day behind the wheel and nothing can stop me
I’ve cleared the way
The road is open, come on and share it
It’s a brand new day, yes it’s a brand new, shiny, lovely day
It’s a brand new day!
