Brand New Day
Joshua Radin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some kind of magic
Happens late at night
When the moon smiles down at me
And bathes me in it's light

I fell asleep beneath you
In the tall blades of grass
When I woke the world was new
I never had to ask

It's a brand new day
The sun is shinning
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
Most stories have a hero who finds
You make your past your past
Ya you make your past your past

It's a brand new day
The sun is shinning
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

And 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

"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.

@tmsouth1
