BRAND NEW DAY

from Sequence by Rice Cracker Project

/

about

This song has been around for a couple decades. Stephen brought it out on many jam sessions and we all performed it at one time or another for fun. For our second album release as RCP entitled "Sequence" we decided to give this great song the recording that it deserved and featured it as one of our main songs in the middle of the album. This song tells one of the most interesting stories on the entire album.

lyrics

WELL I GUESS IT’S TIME FOR ME TO SAY GOOD-BYE AGAIN,
AND PACK MY BAGS AND SAY SO LONG TO ALL MY FRIENDS.
OH THE WIND IS BLOWIN’ WESTWARD AND YOU KNOW I’VE GOT TO GO,
AND I’LL BE SITTIN’ PRETTY IN THE CITY WHERE THE STREETS ARE PAVED WITH GOLD.

I’LL BE LOOKING FOR HER FACE IN EVERY CROWD I SEE.
I’LL BE DREAMIN’ OF HER UNDERNEATH THE APPLE TREES.
AND YOU KNOW MY LIFE’S BEEN CRAZY, YOU’VE GOT NOTHIN’ MUCH TO SHOW,
BUT THE DAY WILL COME, MY DEAREST ONE, WHEN I SWEAR I’LL TAKE IT SLOW.

SHORT AND SWEET IS THE WAY I LIKE IT.
FAST AND LOOSE IS THE WAY I PLAY IT.
THOUGH TOMORROW MAY BE YOUR FUTURE, WELL TO ME, WELL TO ME,
IT’S JUST A BRAND NEW DAY.

WELL I’M SITTIN’ SIPPIN’ COFFEE IN THE LAND OF DREAMS
WHERE I TEND TO THINK ABOUT THE WAY THINGS MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
AND YOU REALLY MUST BELIEVE ME, WHAT I’VE DONE I THOUGHT WAS RIGHT.
AND I’LL NEVER USE THE ROADS I CHOOSE AS EXCUSES FOR MY LIFE.

SHORT AND SWEET IS THE WAY I LIKE IT.
FAST AND LOOSE IS THE WAY I PLAY IT.
THOUGH TOMORROW MAY BE YOUR FUTURE, WELL TO ME, WELL TO ME,
JUST A BRAND NEW DAY, JUST A BRAND NEW DAY. (JUST A BRAND NEW DAY!)

WELL I GUESS THE DAY IS OVER AND THE WORDS HAVE ALL BEEN SAID
AND MY REGRETS, I HAD DISCOVERED, ARE JUST QUESTIONS IN MY HEAD.
AND I CAUTION THOSE WHO FOLLOW, THOSE WHO THINK MY WAY IS GRAND,
THERE’LL BECOME A TIME WHERE YOU’RE GONNA FIND ONLY WRINKLES LEFT IN YOUR HEAD.

SHORT AND SWEET IS THE WAY I LIKE IT.
FAST AND LOOSE IS THE WAY I PLAY IT.
THOUGH TOMORROW MAY BE YOUR FUTURE, WELL TO ME
IT’S JUST A BRAND NEW DAY.

SHORT AND SWEET IS THE WAY I LIKE IT.
FAST AND LOOSE IS THE WAY I PLAY IT.
THOUGH TOMORROW MAY BE YOUR FUTURE, WELL TO ME, WELL TO ME,
JUST A BRAND NEW DAY, JUST A BRAND NEW DAY, JUST A BRAND NEW DAY.

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
