Song information
This is the opening track from my 2019 RPM project 1982.

1982 was a big year for me. I got my driver's license in April on my 15th birthday - which opened up whole new worlds to me. And that's basically what the song is about. Also started hearing lots of really great music (still no MTV in rural Mississippi yet though) which would be a big influence on me as well.

I also tried to grow a mustache for the first time that summer - unsuccessfully - but that's a story for a different time.

My RPM project was very much a throwback to that time musically and a look back after many decades had passed. I did very little remastering of this track other than running it through the Mastering Assistant in Logic.

BTW, anyone who bought a cassette tape back in those days will hear a nice little Easter Egg at the start of the song.

Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics
A Band New Day

©2019 Joseph Gurner

A brand new taste of freedom
a brand new sun lights the way
chase the dream forever
see it in my eyes

How long have I wandered
a passenger riding though my life
watching the years go rushing by
see them in my face


A band new day is on us
a brand new time to tell
Living in the moment
shedding off our childhood shell

A brand new road unfolds before us
helping us to find our way
now we’ve reached our destination
We’re living in a brand new day


A brand new heart is beating
filling life with thoughts unknown
finding rhyme and reason
making sense of what I see

How long have I questioned
how long have I missed the light
always learning never knowing
never feeling free


A band new day is on us
a brand new time to tell
Living in the moment
shedding off our childhood shell

A brand new road unfolds before us
helping us to find our way
now we’ve reached our destination
We’re living in a brand new day

In 1982 our youngest son was two years old. We were living back in the hills in West Virginia.
Memories...
Anyway, this is a fine tune. Full of hope looking forward.
Really dig your synth soloing!
