For the 4th & final song for the sessions we captured at Lake Wenatchee, I wanted to end on a positive note which is why I chose to play Brighter Day.

Although I tend to write songs with a darker atmosphere to them, it’s not always the case.
Some of my favorites have to do with finding hope in hard times, letting go of pain & exploring ways to move forward through it all.

It’s no shock that this last year has been tough on everyone. I’ve gone through many periods during this time of feeling down, stagnant, and just altogether sad with no sense of being able to see an end in sight.
On top of that, there’s been multiple times where we thought this would all be over sooner but then had to push back events & things we were looking forward to even farther than we had ever imagined..

I’ve not always felt like creating, being communicative, sharing or being positive in any way at times but I never lost that tiny sliver of hope & perseverance.

We will make it through & there’s gonna be brighter days ahead.

“Brighter Day” was originally released on the album Deliverance in 2014.

Lyrics:
"I can see the pain in your eyes
No matter how hard you try to hide
I know that there's somethin' goin' on in the back of your mind
It's not that I'm tryin' to pry
It's just that I know what it feels like
To hide somethin' deep down, somethin' deep down inside

Oh, there's gonna be a brighter day

I've been watchin' your storm unfold
I've been wonderin' how long you're gonna hold onto
All those ghosts that's been hauntin' you from within
You done chained yourself like a slave
Diggin' up your own grave
But you ain't gotta dig like that anymore
Oh, there's gonna be a brighter day"
