Ross White, my good friend and confidant at the time Grow was made, absolutely hated the song "Brand New Day" with every inch of his life. When I played it, I could feel his cringing a mile away. When I played the song in my dorm room I felt a disturbance in the force somewhere in Eringhaus Dorm. It's true. He liked to call it "Bad Hair Day." For all of its trouble, the song brings a bit of levity to the EP. It's the only song in a major key on the tape. And, it's generally positive. I think it may be the best recording of the four songs, too. Unfortunately, the song is also a portrait of my vanity. Apparently, I hadn't learned an all-important lesson: writing a song for a girl you barely know is not a good way to "break the ice." Most of the gals I've tried this on were more terrified than flattered. It's a sign of the times, I guess. The lyrics have everything to do with watching a movie called Heathers in a young lady's dorm room. I decided to stand the entire movie, partly because I had no where to sit and partly because I was too afraid to ask for a seat. I didn't mind. Who does when you're in the company of someone you admire? I guess the real reason I stood the whole time is that I wanted her remember me as the guy who stood while Heathers was on. Times were hard. All's fair. Did I mention I was 18 when I wrote this thing?
