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

[Intro – The Constant’s Whisper]

You built clocks and called them truth.
You drew lines and called them proof.
But I… I don’t move like you do.

299,792 kilometers
every single second,
and yet no second ever ticks
for me.

[Verse 1 – The First Observer]

Platform still, train flying past,
flash in the center, the moment cast.
You say the light reached both ends the same,
I shake my head — that’s not the game.

Your watch ticks twelve,
their watch ticks nine.
Same spark, same space,
different time.

[Pre-Chorus – The Second Observer]

You swear it was here,
they swear it was there.
Two eyes on the same event,
but time won’t share.

[Chorus – Light Speaks]

I am light,
no time at all.
No before,
no after to fall.

Everywhere at once,
no space to crawl.
I am light —
no time at all.

[Verse 2 – The Twin Traveler]

One twin stays, one twin flies,
near‑c speed under black skies.
Earth spins decades,
the ship only days,
when they meet,
their clocks don’t weigh the same.

Time stretches thin
when you ride my seam,
and distance folds
like a paper dream.

[Bridge – Time Dilation Hook]

Δt = γΔτ,
sing it loud,
that’s how clocks sway.
Move too fast,
the seconds slow,
tick by tick,
you’ll never know.

[Verse 3 – Gravity’s Hands]

Mass tells space how to curve,
space tells light how to swerve.
Einstein smiled and said:
“Gravity is not a pull,
it’s the shape of the stage
where the actors move.”

Starlight bends
around the sun,
drawing halos
where there are none.

[Spoken Interlude – Einstein’s Voice]

“The distinction between past, present and future
is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”

[Verse 4 – The Star’s Journey]

I left a star a million years ago.
To you, that’s ancient —
to me, it’s now.

You watched me crawl
through cosmic sand.
For me, the star and your hand
are the same land.

[Chorus – Light Speaks]

I am light,
no time at all.
No before,
no after to fall.

Everywhere at once,
no space to crawl.
I am light —
no time at all.

[Verse 5 – Mass and Energy Duet]

Mass sings low:
“I am weight, I am form.”
Energy replies:
“I am heat, I am storm.”

Together they breathe:
“We are one,
in different skin.
E equals mc²,
we are the same within.”

[Second Bridge – Minkowski’s Spell]

Space alone is shadow.
Time alone a dream.
Together they weave
the fabric unseen.

[Verse 6 – The Third Observer]

Your “now” is yours,
their “now” is theirs.
Each frame a song,
a different prayer.

No absolute stage,
no cosmic wall —
just shifting eyes
on the same call.

[Final Chorus – The Choir of Frames]

I am light,
no time at all.
No before,
no after to fall.

Everywhere at once,
no space to crawl.
I am light —
no time at all.

[Outro – The Constant’s Return]

You don’t measure me.
You measure yourself.
I am the bridge.
You are the shelves.

I am light.
No time at all.

I Am Light (No Time At All)

Back Streets Of America

Head on a Spike

it was late and my head hurt, 
we talked for hours about being down 
and trying to make it work 

i said that i wouldn’t leave you 
for what it’s worth, 
you can spend your life swimming through the tide 
let the world pass by, 
only wanna be by your side 

you know i try to convince myself i’m not weak, 
we come home drunk in the middle of the night 
and i cry myself to sleep 

there’s no point in trying if they don’t let you in, 
no matter what you say you’re never gonna win, 
if they don’t let you in

maybe we should leave it all behind, 
but it doesn’t feel right and it hurts me all the time 

there’s no point in trying if they don’t let you in, 
every word you say, you’re never gonna win, 

you’re never gonna win 
if they don’t let you in

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.
