Some of you may recognise the song from when I posted the teaser for "One More Night" a month or so ago. I wanted to change the title, without changing the narrative - the perspective needed correction. One More Night felt "stuck in the past" whereas the song is about freedom and the future. Brand New Day fits that perfectly.
The song is inspired by a toxic relationship - and I got to thinking about all toxic relationships, (and especially those that have been forced into escalating situations during COVID isolation)
Whether it be breaking free from an abusive partner, a bullying boss, or fair-weather friends, Brand New Day is the dawning moment and the chaotic collection of thoughts that rush through your head when you're finally able to emancipate yourself.
Standing at the edge of a dark night, with a calm determination and your own destiny in your hands.
No regrets. Lessons learned. Keep evolving; step forward and keep marching towards your own new horizon as you take your first steps into a brand new life.
It's always darkest before the dawn.
It's always coldest before the sun.
For anyone who is currently stuck in a bad situation, I wish you all a Brand New Day.

PS - video footage is my own cold, shivering hand gripping my mobile phone, watching the sun rise from one of my favourite places to watch a new day dawning. I still recall waking up to magpies and terns every morning and it will always feel like home to me.
Warden's Head Reserve - the lighthouse at the tip of God's Country that is Ulladulla. It was this town on the south coast of NSW Australia will always have a very special place in my heart. This place, and it's people, was instrumental in helping me to start a new life, to realise a dream, and to build the courage to have many more after that.
