about

A song about fresh starts that is sure to break your heart 💔

Indeed, "There's nothing like New Years".

"New Years" is a song that identifies New Years as a time to reflect upon and reassess one's life, and commit to positive change. It reminds us that while no one is perfect, we CAN be better.

This is the first single off of the "Good Vibes LP", recorded live off the floor with Patrick and Daniels in Cape Breton, NS.

lyrics

I got a few bad habits
Got a pack of smokes in the cabinet
I should let them go
How 'bout tomorrow

I love the snow as it glistens
We're catching up in the kitchen
Everyone I know
Caught up in the glow

Confetti all around now I'm counting down
Like 3, 2, 1

There's nothing like New Years
The chance for better days
Here's to the future
Midnight smiles on your face
Writing off past mistakes
Opening sweet champagne
If we mess it all up try again 12 months from here
There's nothing like New Years

I didn't pay much mind to
Hallmark valentines
The first of July
Suits me just fine

But there's something bout a clean slate
When I turn the calendar page
Makes me in believe
In a brand new me

In my paper crown
I'm counting down
Like 3, 2, 1

There's nothing like New Years
The chance for better days
Here's to the future
Midnight smiles on your face
Writing off past mistakes
Opening sweet champagne
If we mess it all up try again 12 months from here
There's nothing like New Years

Right on the edge
Diving into whatever's ahead

There's nothing like New Years
The first of better days
Cheers to the future
That I'm going to create
Forget about past mistakes
Open that sweet champagne
If we mess it all up try again 12 months from here
Cuz There's nothing like New Years
