Brand New - The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows

“Begin Anew (Alternative)” is a reimagined version of the original cinematic single.
Rawer, louder, and more human — this mix blends alternative rock energy with cinematic emotion.
Electric guitars meet cello and piano, reflecting the fire and freedom that come after healing.

🎸 Begin Anew (Alternative)

Lyrics & Chords:
The chords (C – G – Am – F / Am – F – C – G / F – C – G – Am) are consistently structured with the alt-rock progression, and they work perfectly with your production mix — especially since the electric guitar drives the rhythm more prominently.
The verses and bridge structure also match your alt-rock arrangement — no lyric or chord adjustments needed.

⸻

[Intro – reflective electric guitar & ambient pad]

(C – G – Am – F)
Breathing in, the silence breaks,
A spark of fire the morning makes.

⸻

[Verse 1 – raspy, grounded female vocal]

(C – G – Am – F)
I fell hard, I lost my way,
Truth was whispering, I turned away.
But every scar taught me to see,
That every fall still carried me.

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – layered harmonies building intensity]

(Am – F – C – G)
I’m still here, finding light,
Learning how to face the night.

⸻

[Chorus – full band, electric guitar lift, drums drive in]

(F – C – G – Am)
Sing it loud, for the ones who break,
For the hearts that bend but never fake.
What’s broken now is burning through,
Every day, begin anew.

⸻

[Verse 2 – voice with edge, more grit and reverb]

(C – G – Am – F)
Every lie I used to believe,
Can’t hold the truth that’s finding me.
The echoes fade, the pain rewinds,
I left the past but kept the lines.

⸻

[Bridge – distorted guitar + layered vocals]

(Am – F – G – C)
Whisper to the fire, I’m not afraid,
Every loss built what I’ve made.
From the ache, I start to grow,
From the dark, the light will show.

⸻

[Final Chorus – harmonized, percussive, power vocals]

(F – C – G – Am)
Sing it loud, for the ones who break,
For the hearts that bend but never fake.
What’s broken now is breaking through,
Every day, begin anew.
(begin anew, begin anew…)

⸻

[Outro – clean electric tone fading to silence]

(C – F – C)
And I begin… anew.
