Brand New Start from This End (2020-2021 ~ with lyrics)

Hi everyone! Happy 2021!

So first I would like to explain the motive behind this song. Started in late December of 2020, a great close to the year. In my opinion, 2020 was not the worst year. Filled with chaos? Sure. Unique? Definitely. Then again, each event was just a part of the year. Many great things are missed when other “loud” ones force their way up to the top; in this case, the pandemic. While the pandemic seemed to be a main focus of 2020 and all the difficulties and change it has caused, it was not the only part of the year and plenty of good things came out of the pandemic. There are always good things and bad things that make up every year and I am choosing to share and express the good in this song. We can’t change what already happened, but we can use the knowledge to create the future.

My favorite quotes from the piece:

“Out of this darkness, the light shines brighter”
A main theme of this song is how darkness and light are shown. How every night will end in the day, every darkness can be beat by light. They go together. A small light certainly has the power to light up a completely dark room. Why not focus on that? It is difficult to see the stars in a bright sky, sometimes light just needs darkness in order to be seen in a new way.

“Hindsight view is 20/20”
Credit to my history teacher on this one. It is easy to look at history to see what could have been different or analyze a situation. It may have not been that easy at the time. It’s a new year now and the future is something to celebrate!

“We’re ending at this start, starting from this end”
This one is self explanatory lol

Thanks to @silverblaze and @mr_trombonist for their feedback

Another quick thing I want to mention is that I am going to take the next few weeks off from publishing. Just a heads up :)

Okay, final thing. Thank you all for listening and I hope you enjoy this song. If not, oh well, thanks anyway for giving me a chance. Happy 2021 everyone! Stay safe!
