Extract from the lyrics My life was here but now it’s gone Was it right or was it wrong? Once again I walk alone And my doubts fade away The Zurich based Band Second Function have chosen “A New Beginning” for the first single release from their second album “Dry, crisp & bittersweet”. For this rock song what we have shot a clip. It’s about the fight and peace of transformation. So we created a place, where one can get a new beginning facing its biggest obstacles.
