Liner Notes

Nancy: @cicpisces sent me this tender lyric, and I had a great time singing it. I imagined the narrator as a tender parent whose child is headed out into the wider world. My kids turned 21 and 18 a few weeks ago, so that feels especially
important to me.

Lyrics

Hey, there, I’m here to give you some advice, so I hope you listen
I hope I can arm you well in life, so you can stop being bitten

Don’t go chasing money you don’t need
Experience is rich, memories last so long

Know that the best way you can be is loaded down with dreams
Know that the best way you can be is loaded down with dreams

Be happy, and whatever happens, you’ll see
Every little step is part of a long, long journey

Hold on tight, enjoy your time
Conquer the world and all your fears

Know that the best way you can be is loaded down with dreams
Know that the best way you can be is loaded down with dreams

Stay strong, I know you’ll take hard knocks
They may shoot you down, but make sure you take your shot

They will try try try until you die
They’ll try to chase your dreams out of your sky

But don’t cry cry cry, it’s worth your time
Keep your dreams, keep your dreams til you die

Know that the best way you can be is loaded down with dreams
Know that the best way you can be is loaded down with dreams

I think we should all be loaded down with dreams, all of our lives :-).. Sweet song.

My daughter is nearing 50, and still falls into this philosophy. Her 4 kids are so different, and not knowing where to go. I think the times are unfavorable for dreams some times.

All parents have been there and all parent have the exact same worries about their kids. Super song

this is such a sweet song (although fraught with a parent's worry) to sing to a child who is now prepared to go off into the world. i love the phrases "loaded down with dreams" it gives me a vivid picture of a person setting out, not with suitcases and duffel bags, but with the burden of dreams,

I think the soft singing and quiet guitar playing are both very well suited for these reflective lyrics. NICE MELODY Nancy.
