lyrics

BRAND NEW DAY

Out of the thorns, back on the lighted path
Flying out of darker times almost tore me in half
Heading towards the sun as it sets or watch it rise
Chasing clouds away as my story’s being revised

A new beginning, seems I’m winning

Off the launchpad, I’m taking flight at last
Gloom and despondency are the dust of my past
Passing go saying goodbye to the gray haze
Onto whatever destiny has for my brighter days

A new beginning, seems I’m winning
Onward upward, unencumbered

It’s a brand new day and the clouds are lifting
I’m au currant and the chaff is sifting
New dawn ascending I’m shedding the dead skin
Opportunity presenting let renewal begin

Passing go saying goodbye to the gray haze
Onto whatever destiny has for my brighter days
Heading towards the sun as it sets or watch it rise
Chasing clouds away as my story’s being revised

Onward upward, unencumbered

It’s a brand new day and the clouds are lifting
I’m au currant and the chaff is sifting
New dawn ascending I’m shedding the dead skin
Opportunity presenting let renewal begin

Shawn Browning recommends:

Sunshine Rock
by Bob Mould

One of my biggest influences. Probably obvious, huh? Bob is the king of big guitars with beautiful melodies and just plain ol' songs that matter. I feel his music almost more than hear it. Shawn Browning

Emptiness at The Sinclair
by Dinosaur Jr.

My goal is to be half as good and just as noisy as J. Mascis on guitar. Saw them live and he was so crazy loud, but it was sheer bliss. Shawn Browning

What a Time to Be Alive
by Superchunk

If you don't smile and feel like dancing erratically to Superchunk, you're souless, have no taste, or dead. Maybe all three. Just go and do a deep dive of their catalog. Seriously. You're welcome. Shawn Browning
