I love this song. I think of my sisters and love them more every single time I hear it. This song tells what I wish my parents would have told me all along. Relief and ease is what floods my mind and body when I play this tune.
...an essay titled "Advice, like youth, probably just wasted on the young" written by Mary Schmich and published in the Chicago Tribune as a column in 1997, but often erroneously attributed to a commencement speech by author Kurt Vonnegut. Both its subject and tone are similar to the 1927 poem "Desiderata". The most popular and well-known form of the essay is the successful music single "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)", released in 1998, by Baz Luhrmann.

This song has been out for a while. Occasional I'll listen to it to see how I'm doing. Like many, I can probably afford to worry a little less.

too funny, i also listen to this song every now and again for some life tips as well!
i'm listening to it today cause i had a small fight with a model friend... she didnt like my joke... wanna hear it? here it comes ...
why did the model smile during a lightning storm? She thought she was having her picture taken.
Think it offended her... still... i think it's funny as hell!

It's in jest. It says "You will IMAGINE that politicians were noble", meaning... Really, they WEREN'T. Hence George W.
