Here's a little biography that they had on the Hills site about Tamar:
Born in Scottsdale, Arizona, Tamar Kaprelian was raised in Georgia and California by Armenian parents and, she says, "surrounded by love and great music." The 22-year-old began writing songs as a child, influenced first by classic Disney films, then storied songwriters like Paul McCartney and Billy Joel. Writing primarily on the piano, Kaprelian creates playful, but thought-provoking songs that come from a personal perspective. One of her songs, "New Day," was featured in the fifth season finale of the hit MTV series "The Hills." Kaprelian's debut album is due in fall 2009.
Here are the lyrics to New Day for those who want them:
Before the light I found the dark
Before tonight I feel apart
Frozen up I’ve realized that something’s gotta change
It took a crash to understand
Time kept slipping through my hands
I never used to know
The sun will shine after the rain
Say goodbye, say goodbye to the way
I was before
Say hello, say hello to a new way
I was lost, but I found what
I was looking for
Waking up, waking up to a new day
A new day
I was sleeping in a twisted dream
Dying just to make believe
A pretty situation was far from where I was
But I’m not up for giving up
Lying down and out of luck
My mistakes are in the open and know I’m finally coming clean
Say goodbye, say goodbye to the way
I was before
Say hello, say hello to a new way
I was lost, but I found what
I was looking for
Waking up, waking up to a new day
A new day
Cause everything, everything
ends at the start
I’m healing and feeling all of my scars
Chorus:
Say goodbye, say goodbye to the way
I was before
Say hello, say hello to a new way
I was lost, but I found what
I was looking for
Waking up, waking up to a new day
A new day
