Producer [[Ric Ocasek]] was said to have been a fan of "Brightening Day," saying he thought it would make a great single. The song, which was originally known as "My Best Friends Are Gone," has a somewhat dryer sound than most of the rest of the songs from the sessions, and is also notable for having a somewhat varied guitar solo - rather than the usual ''Green''-era mirroring of a vocal melody. | |||
