Brand New Day was the final track written (months later actually) for the upcoming EP. It also has a very different vibe than the other songs asI was in a pretty different headspace by this time. Still, Brand New Day felt like it made the journey through these songs, and time period of my life, complete.

Strange how that works out sometimes but hopefully it will all make sense when the full EP is released.

Brand New Day also felt like a good second single release and, given it's uplifting and hopeful vibe, made sense for the beginning of a new year.

I also want to say thank you to Pete Griffin and Ernesto Homeyer for adding their immense talents to Brand New Day. Working with great musicians just makes everything better.

"Moments in Motion" was created between midnight and 4am. Its quiet then and I was trying to find a way to disengage. Really what I needed was an escape, a way to free my mind. Sitting at the piano at 2am is wonderfully freeing.

I found the beginning ostinato and chords changes almost immediately. And I just played them over and over until I was lost in the motion. It calmed me...and I new immediately I had something I liked.

The Bridge was a different story! It went through quite a few re-writes before I was happy. Finding a space that felt different yet still connected took me a bit and really didn't completely come together until Pete tracked bass. There wasn't supposed to be a full melody there originally. But Pete played something that was just perfect for the vibe and really just made the part magical to me.
