Take It or Leave It

By SteveSkiano on May 11, 2024 9:15 pm

My stepdaughter is graduating this year, so I decided to make a graduation song. It's basically a sequel to Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen) by Baz Luhrmann, Quindon Traver, and Josh Abrahams for the class of 1999.

Solid advice. Well done. A fun homage.

This is beautiful. I wasn’t necessarily expecting to tear up, but here we are.

I recall seeing the original speech, but I don’t remember the line about parents being such a gut punch…always surprising what perspectives change over decades. smile

Musically, you nailed the “positive yet wistful” end of year montage vibe, without being cheesy. The subtle build was great.

As a parent (and also step parent), this is one helluva gift. Great work.
