January - "New Year's Day"

Order up your last round
They're closing down the bar
And the streets outside are slick with rain
And we could drain another down
Or we could turn this train around
We've got 12 good months to change
And though we've spoken solemn vows
We will break them all somehow
The year is new, the mistakes are all the same
But promise
I will not hide from love
I will not cower at the seams of the powerful beams
Of its searchlight-bright flood
I will dance in the blinding light of its rays
Somebody kiss me, it's New Years Day
And could old acquaintance be forgot
And never be brought to mind
Then maybe I'd be freed of these jealousies
That have been keeping me since auld lang syne
And I could start over again
There's time to make amends
Time to get things right this time
This time
I will not hide from love
I will not cower at the seams of the powerful beams
Of its searchlight-bright flood
I will dance in the blinding light of its rays
Somebody kiss me, it's New Years Day

Bryn, I heard you on KPIG this morning. Your music stopped me dead in my tracks. Beautiful. Your song about Northern California gave me a chill. But when I heard your song about June, I started to cry. It took me back about 20 years ago, when I was a 20 something girl. Lost in love. Keep up the good work, looking forward to the rest of the upcoming months on Blood Year. Good luck to you. I live in Santa Cruz and will try and catch you at the Kuumbwa.
Cheers, Gina
