| Artist Bio In late November of 2001, Murray Yates was flying back to his hometown of Vancouver and struggling with the thought of starting over. A few weeks earlier, his band Templar (signed to EMI Canada) had broken up leaving Yates emotionally burnt and flat on his back. The singer/songwriter had spent two years fronting the group, during which time they released their debut album, toured the country, got nominated for best new artist at the Juno Awards and landed a Top 40 single called "Here We Go," which was also featured on EA's NHL 2001 Hockey. Says Yates, "It was a shame to work so hard to achieve some success, only to have it fall apart. I went from singing in front of 10,000 people to going home alone and being back at square one. I didn't know what to do or where to start." On the ride home, a melody came to him with the words "tomorrow's a brand new day." "I kept hearing this song in my head, like a message or something," he says. "I went straight home, grabbed my guitar and wrote 'Brand New Day.' It's a song that symbolizes all the changes I was experiencing, and the fact that you can always start again no matter how dark and unforgiving the world seems. You can always find light at the beginning of a new day if you look hard enough. That song gave me the inspiration to keep going and a sense that everything was gonna be okay."
