Radin only started playing the guitar 4 years ago and wrote his first song 'Winter' 2 years ago. College buddy Zach Braff (Scrubs / Garden State) brought Radin's work to the attention of Bill Lawrence (Scrubs Creator) who has since used several of Radin's tracks on the show including the memorable use of 'Winter' on the heart wrenching episode 'My Screw Up', #14 of season 3.
He is now an established musician, having released the 11-track CD "We Were Here."
Brand New Day
Josh Radin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Happens late at night
When the moon smiles down at me
And bathes me in its light
I fell asleep beneath you
In the tall blades of grass
When I woke the world was new
It’s a brand new day
The sun is shining
It’s a brand new day
For the first time in such a long long time
I know I’ll be OK
Most kind of stories
Save the best part for last
And most stories have a hero who finds
You make your past your past
Yeah you make your past your past
It’s a brand new day
The sun is shining
It’s a brand new day
For the first time in such a long long time
I know I’ll be OK
This cycle never ends
You gotta fall in order to mend
It’s a brand new day
It’s a brand new day
For the first time in such a long long time
I know I’ll be OK

The chorus follows, declaring that it is indeed a brand new day, and the sun is shining. The singer acknowledges that for the first time in a long time, they know everything will be okay.

Some kind of magic
There's a certain kind of unexplainable magic
Happens late at night
That occurs during the late hours
When the moon smiles down at me
Where the moon shines its light upon me
And bathes me in its light
And completely engulfs me in its light
I fell asleep beneath you
I drifted off to sleep underneath your presence
In the tall blades of grass
Surrounded by tall blades of grass
When I woke the world was new
When I awoke, everything looked brand new
I never had to ask
Because everything was perfect, I felt like I never had to ask for anything else
It’s a brand new day
Today is a completely new day
The sun is shining
The sun is beaming brightly
For the first time in such a long long time
After such a long time has passed
I know I’ll be OK
I have confidence that I'll be just fine
Most kind of stories
Most stories in general
Save the best part for last
Keep the most exciting part for the end
And most stories have a hero who finds
And a large chunk of stories follow a hero who realizes
You make your past your past
That to let go of the past means to make it just a memory
Yeah you make your past your past
You, yourself, are responsible for leaving behind the past for good
This cycle never ends
The pattern of ups and downs doesn't ever truly stop
You gotta fall in order to mend
Sometimes in order to heal up, you must hit rock bottom first

"Hope is the dream of a waking man." Aristotle
Hope is the lifeline we all cling to everyday.
It’s Hope that gets us out of bed in the morning.
It’s Hope which buys that lottery ticket.
Hope is the last thing we will let go of before we die from this, our glimmer of light against the dark of the eternal night...
All love is set ablaze by a single spark of hope!. Will

House MD has always got a ton of good music. Hugh Laurie is an extremely gifted musician and I believe he's got the inside track on wonderful songs & artists.
@itsgonnabeanaurfromme
You think he picks the soundtrack?
@gabrielribeiro448
@@itsgonnabeanaurfromme not every song but I'm sure he brought a lot of ideas for tracks since the series makes sure to show his talent as a musician a few times every season
@paramore412
I love the message behind this song. Sometimes you literally feel like you're being punched in the face or that you were just hit by a car, and soon you realize that soon you'll be okay and that life goes on. Great song and video.
