This song is officially Fluttershy's theme song.

Lucy Kaplansky is the backup singer. She's worth listening to as well. Don't recognize the base player.

I first heard this song when John sang at an open mike night in PA in the late 70s or early 80s. I didn't remember his name or the name of the song - only the line "when I grow up I want to be a tree". One day, years later and after moving to MD, I heard it on my car radio. I memorized his name and the song's name so I could find the CD. I finally got to see him again last month. Awesome singer/storyteller!

[lisandrea]

This is one of my all-time favorite songs!! I come back to it again & again, often finding myself singing it in the middle of some random moment! LOVE IT--thank you, John Gorka, for your creative take on trees & cows and all sorts of other beautiful analogies you sing!!

Great song. One I like to sing to my son often. I like his gesticulation at the beginning of the song :)

"When I grow up I'm gonna get real green". Obviously, a lot of people in this country have never grown up.

Great song by the Gorka.
