So what inspired Brand New Day? 😍 But first - shameless plug: please pre-order / pre-save it here 😍 https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/chrisrulewski/brand-new-day 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. I can't wait for you all to hear Brand New Day! Please share your thoughts about the song, as well as your own story in the comments below and tell me about your own Brand New Day moments!

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.

Inspired by re-entering the dating game in my late 30's, I discovered all the new "rules" during a time of Tinder, POF and the like. You learn very quickly that you need to protect yourself and your sensibilities with a sprinkling of denial before you let the feels hit you. As long as you still let the feels in eventually. ***** To help me keep creating more videos for you, you can help by doing one (or more!) of the below : Visit my website: https://www.chrisrulewski.com/shop for all the fun links! - donate via the Virtual Tip Jar - buy some merch from my Shop - purchase music supplies from Artist Guitars (affiliate link on the Shop site) - be a Patron from just $5 per month!

Optimism is not the the rejection of reality. It is the belief that what comes next can be better. So Long is a song that comes from a very familiar place, as many songs of heartbreak do. It's a story of letting go of all you thought you knew, without grudges; without hatred. Breakups are hard enough without bringing the baggage with you. ***** To help me keep creating more videos for you, you can help by doing one (or more!) of the below : Visit my website: www.chrisrulewski.com/shop - be a Patron from just $5 per month! - donate via the Virtual Tip Jar - buy some merch from my SHOP - purchase music supplies from Artist Guitars (affiliate link) And of course, LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and all the good stuff on all the things!
