Brandos Fans & Friends: This is "The Light of Day" from German television (Münster), from the 1994 European summer tour. This is an upgraded version, and while I don't have better video footage, the original album audio mix was used along with better synchronization of the video. This was the title track of the album released the previous fall. The song is a personal favorite, the lyric being a metaphor for some very personal struggles. Quite a number of fans have told me they related to it as well. The lineup was myself with Ernie Mendillo (Bass, Backing Vocal), Frank Funaro (Drums), and Scott Kempner (Guitar). Album available in The Americas and elsewhere on iTunes, Spotify, CD Baby, and many other download and streaming services.store.cdbaby.c...
The Light Of Day
Before dawn each day I'd go down below
And the walls they'd sweat, I'd sweat more
The coal-black dust, it filled the air
I'd breath it in, I could not afford to care
There were debts passed down from father to son
From mother to daughter from mother to son
As we owed our souls to the company store
Each day we got less, they got more
Chorus:
I believe I can see the light of the day
It's up there ahead not far away
I've been digging my way out of this dark mine
Since what feels like the dawn of time
I believe I can see the light of day
And the timbers placed to support these walls
One day came down, about our heads did fall
I was buried alive I was left for dead
But I came to began to dig instead
I swear when again I can breath fresh air
Look up to the heavens and thank God that I'm there
I'll never be buried in this earth again
When I'm dead throw my ashes to the four winds
(Chorus)
Since I was a boy I've worked this mine
They said "Son, you'll be here till the day you die"
But you'll get no more of my blood and my sweat
No more years of my life in this God-less pit
There's sun and there's rain and there's love up there
No cause in this world could drag me back here
I believe I can see the light of the day
It's up there ahead not far away
I've been digging my way out of this dark mine
Since what feels like the dawn of time
I believe I can see the light of day
