Laser Beans 02:13
Lyrics: Well We make a pretty good team Like peanut butter and laser beans Wait that’s not what I mean I meant to say jelly What can you do when your animal cracker Gets broken in two Take it to a vet Keep it for a pet Or do you just eat em It’s fun to be Silly sometimes Looking at the world through googly eyes It’s fun to be Silly sometimes Looking at the world through googly eyes Now what in the world is making me sneeze What’s causing these allergies Maybe it’s the pepper tree I planted in the garden Once I saw a circus troupe Doing a loop de loop When they were done They gave everyone Two scoops of soup Well it’s fun to be Silly sometimes Looking at the world through googly eyes It’s fun to be Silly sometimes Looking at the world through googly eyes Well We make a pretty good team Like peanut butter and laser beans Wait that’s not what I mean I meant to say jelly It’s fun to be Silly sometimes Looking at the world through googly eyes It’s fun to be Silly sometimes Looking at the world through googly eyes

Lyrics: It’s a perfect day to ride a bike A perfect day for a hike Perfect day for a wagon ride Perfect day to play outside Perfect day to sing along Perfect day to dance along Perfect day for feeling strong It’s a perfect day to just be you Nobody does it better It’s a perfect day to just be you Nobody does it better Sometimes it starts to rain But then the sun comes out You see a rainbow It was supposed to be cloudy all day Sometimes we’re feeling blue We put on our favourite shoes And we know just what to do A perfect day to just be you Nobody does it better It’s a perfect day to be just you Nobody does it better A perfect day to play in mud A perfect day to give a hug To help someone feel better A perfect day for standing tall Remember should you fall It’s a perfect day to just be you It’s a perfect day to just be you Nobody does it better It’s a perfect day to just be you Nobody does it better

Lyrics: There was a girl with peanut butter hair Birds chased her everywhere She made a hat Looked just like a cat Then Dogs chased her everywhere So, she made a car To help her go real far To make a wish upon a star She made a wish And met a magical fish He told her Don’t change who you are No Don’t change who you are You and your mind will go far If you really need to be freed Just give those birds some seed I knew a girl with peanut butter hair Birds still chased her everywhere She didn’t care No she didn’t care She spread her birdseed everywhere And over time Yeah over time She knew her powers Cause on the path that she took every day Grew thousands of sunflowers I knew a girl with peanut butter hair She didn’t care She didn’t care I know a girl with peanut butter hair Birds still chase her everywhere Oh I knew a girl with peanut butter hair Birds still chase her everywhere I know a girl with peanut butter hair She doesn’t care She doesn’t care

Lyrics: Big Bertha was a tractor I used to look after We’d ride through the fields every day Up at the break of dawn She liked to sing me songs The horses watched us making the hay The horses watched us making the hay Her lights were so bright We’d drive till late at night She liked to snack on crackers and tea Driving all the ups and downs She never ever went to town The country life was the life for her and me Said the country life was the life for her and me We’d plow those fields in the fall So next summer’s oats and barley would grow tall We’d work from morning until night Making sure everything was done just right Big Bertha was a tractor I used to look after We’d ride through the fields every day Up at the break of dawn She liked to sing me songs The horses watched us making the hay The horses watched us making the hay We’d plow those fields in the fall So next summer’s oats and barley would grow tall We’d work from morning until night Making sure everything was done just right Oh we’d plow those fields in the fall So next summer’s oats and barley would grow tall We’d work from morning until night Making sure everything was done just right

Little Owls 03:20
Lyrics: Little owl looking for your branch Morning moon setting in the West Hard to believe how much time has passed Little owl sitting on your branch Time flies when we’re having fun Not so much when there’s things to be done Try to be patient Try to be kind All things come when it’s time for their time All things come when it’s time for their time Three hundred sixty-five days in a year Try to greet each one with a smile and a cheer Time can spring forward Time can even fall back Little owl sitting on your branch Time flies when we’re having fun Not so much when there’s work to be done Try to be patient Try to be kind All things come when it’s time for their time All things come when it’s time for their time Time flies when we’re having fun Not so much when there’s things to be done Try to be patient Try to be kind All things come when it’s time for their time All things come when it’s time for their time Little owl searching for your branch

Big Sky 03:31
Lyrics: The sky is so big It can make me feel small But I’m growing up yeah I’m getting tall Maybe one day I’ll fly up through those clouds In a big old jet airplane That is nice and loud Big sky Big sky Big sky Big sky Somedays the clouds are so low Seems like they’re touching the trees Sometimes when it’s foggy Clouds are bumping into me Using my imagination Look at that cloud over there I can see a crocodile With funny hair Big sky Big sky Big sky Big sky If the clouds go to bed Any time after dark The stars shine so bright Like thousands of sparks The sky is so big It can make me feel small But I’m growing up yeah I’m getting tall Big sky Big sky Big sky Big sky Big sky Big sky Big sky Big sky

about

First off, thank you to everyone that purchased or streamed the You and Me (Songs for Kids) album! The response was amazing and it brings me great joy to hear that kids and grownups are enjoying the album.

As I began doing more and more online shows after releasing the You and Me (Songs for Kids) album, I quickly realized I needed more songs! While the first one came about kind of unexpectedly, I wanted to take a more focused approach with this album as I began writing and recording.

I often describe my Indie-Folk creations with Stop Yelling as "sadly optimistic", if asked, how would I describe my songs for kids?

Well, two words have been in my mind since I started creating these albums: Uplifting and Empowering.

While staying true to my songwriting style, I want my kids albums to bring light, bring joy, share positive messages and every once in a while, just be silly.

There are so many challenges facing our kids today. So many pressures and outside influences. I hope these songs remind us all to be kind, be positive, be loving and be silly.

All of our feelings are real and all of them help us grow. It's okay to feel blue, it's okay to feel happy, to want to be alone sometimes or to want to be part of a group. We can all lift each other up when it's needed and celebrate the ups and downs of life together.

I hope this album brings you as much joy as it has brought to me.

Remember, be whoever you need to be - nobody does it better!
