24 Brand-New Hours is one giant, joyous reset button. We all have permission to leave behind yesterday’s suffering, take some risks, and step into the sun. We are full of potential. This song is a celebration of the present moment.

Lyrics:

24 brand-new hours
It’s our day
24 brand-new reasons
Why we’re not the same

We don’t have to play cards with Poseidon
We can leave the ocean behind us
We’ve been holding our breath for long enough

My congratulations
Well, you’re back again, babe
Every bit of you is welcome
And I know 28-year-old Van Gogh
Is on her way

Now even when summer is shining
It can feel like winter inside us
I know because my tree has been bare for so long

I’ve got 24 brand new hours
And I know the Amazon is getting thin
Emerson gave me permission
To go out on a whim

Now I’ve been scratching my head
Wondering what’s going on with my head
Hell, I want to be friends with my head

An hourglass is fragile
And I know today is an opportunity

Second Brother

24 Brand-New Hours

24 Brand-New Hours | Próxima Parada

just a music lover for all types trying to make my way thru the world

Próxima Parada means ‘next stop’ in Spanish and Portuguese. As college students in San Luis Obispo, California taking the bus to school, at every stop, there’d be a recording that said, “Now approaching, próxima parada…” then the street name. They’d hear that 100 times a day. For them, the name is an invitation to the present moment, a reminder to not be too focused on the destination and to appreciate every stop along the way.
 
After ten years of next stops, their songs have become more and more focused on personal growth and groove, where each player adds just what’s needed and makes up a piece of a whole. Some songs are sunny and light-hearted indie soul like their viral hit Musta Been a Ghost or 24 Brand-New Hours, a giant joyous reset button. Others have a late-Mac-Miller mellow vibe like Begin Again or driving and more hip-hop influenced like It Don't Feel the Same, all the while speaking to who they are working to be.
 
What began as a group of college friends wanting to spread joy to their local community has led to national tours where people let loose and feel whatever they need to feel. It’s already been an incredible journey with their songs reaching a global audience online, and they’re just getting started. 2023 will bring Próxima Parada’s strongest album to date and much touring.
