“It’s a song I co-wrote during
this pandemic with my producer Colin Linden. The song is about keeping your head
up, keep the faith we’re going to come out of all this “there’s a new dawn
rising, and it shines like gold….hard times are leaving we’ve done enough
grieving now we’ll shine like gold.”
- Jim Weider
"The song
was originally written for Rick Danko when I was writing with Colin
Linden for The Band's Jericho album and was never used for that album.
Colin had a big hand and footprint on this record. We go back, so there
is a comfortableness working with him."
