"Brand New Morning" is the thirteenth Studio Album by British Melodic Rock band Magnum, released in 2004 by SPV.

"We All Run" is an apocalyptic song. "It's actually about the nuclear holocaust, Tony Clarkin explains, "The idea of the song is we all ignore the important things in life. And the actual verse is that it is really poetic license trying to create a picture "We all run" as "We don't care anymore". Like the cities are burning, like people are starving to death. That's what it means." [ [http://www.melodicrock.com/live/bangyourhead2004.html Bang Your Head 2004 ] ]

The lyrics to "Brand New Morning" can be considered as reflection from Tony Clarkin, following the heart attack he suffered in 2002. Bob Catley comments: "We are a heavy lyric band. With the song "Brand New Morning" it is like the first day of the rest of your life. Forget everything else. Just wake up with the sun shining and start living. That is what 'Brand New Morning' is all about." [ [http://www.melodicrock.com/interviews/byh-magnum.html MelodicRock.com Interviews: Gotthard ] ]
