This is an upbeat little number I wrote mostly as a reminder to myself. There's nothing magical about a certain day or time - maybe turning a calendar page isn't the only reason to change?

lyrics

It's gonna be different now - there's too much to lose
Can't waste another day in these garden variety blues
Lift the pen from the paper, scan the list and laugh
Take every brittle promise and
tear them all in half (and half, and half)
Keep it simple, so it's simple to keep

Resolution: close the door on yesterday
and all its heartbreak
'Cause today's brand new
Resolution: you've got something to say
don't bottle it up like you used to
'Cause today's brand new

Well simple's not easy, but easy's no fun
It's that same old pattern that's got you on the run
Going round in a circle, wearing ruts in the ground
Won't you step out and stop to see
the wonders all around (around, around)
So much beauty you can't help but weep

Resolution: close the door on yesterday
and all its heartbreak
'Cause today's brand new
Resolution: you've got something to say
don't bottle it up like you used to
'Cause today's brand new

Yeah today's brand new
So what you gonna do
With this day that's brand new?

Close the door on yesterday
Let it out, what you've got to say

Resolution: close the door on yesterday
and all its heartbreak
'Cause today's brand new
Resolution: you've got something to say
don't bottle it up like you used to
'Cause today's brand new

And it's gonna be different now

Andrew Thomas Hallowell, Maine

Hi. I’m Andrew. I play keyboards. I also sing. Occasionally, I do both together. What does that sound like?

Imagine Ben Folds, Joe Jackson and the members of Death Cab for Cutie meeting at a party and forming a supergroup. Divide that by 7. If Ben's train leaves the station at 3:30, how much fuel will it have burned by the time it’s passed Joe’s house? Wait, what were we talking about again? ... more
