Producer [[Ric Ocasek]] was said to have been a fan of "Brightening Day," saying he thought it would make a great single. The song is also notable for having a somewhat varied guitar solo, rather than the usual ''Green''-era mirroring of a vocal melody. | Producer [[Ric Ocasek]] was said to have been a fan of "Brightening Day," saying he thought it would make a great single.

<poem>My best friends are gone | |||
Far and way beyond | |||
And they left me here with no one by my side | |||
To console my tears | |||
And assuage my fears | |||
And pick me back up when I fall down | |||
On the bedroom floor | |||
Of some hipster bore | |||
Who is celebrating just how cool he can be | |||
They watched over me | |||
And believed it me | |||
When nobody else could give a damn | |||
What can I do? | |||
What can I do? | |||
I cannot make a move | |||
On the bedroom floor | |||
Of some hipster bore | |||
Who is celebrating just how cool he can be | |||
They watched over me | |||
And believed it me | |||
When nobody else could give a damn | |||
What can I do? | |||
What can I do? | |||
I cannot make a move | |||
My best friends are gone | |||
Far and way beyond | |||
And they left me here with no one by my side | |||
To console my tears | |||
And assuage my fears | |||
And pick me back up when I fall down | |||
To console my tears | |||
And assuage my fears | |||
And pick me back up when I fall down | |||
