A song about taking control of life and making the most of opportunities. Sometimes life throws at us what we need to overcome.
Dream big, sing it loud, you'll figure it out...
She was a singer in a band
It took her long enough, but now she's got a plan
Sun shining through the window, wakes her tired eyes
And clouds are drifting across the morning skies
It's looking up, sometimes it's tough
you gotta ask yourself Is this enough
Cos In a second you blink
And life has passed you by
Are you awake, what's at stake
It ain't about the money that you make
It's about dreaming things
And making them real
Sing it loud
And shout it out
Gotta pick it up
You'll figure it out
He works all day to make a buck
The same old daily grind driving his old pick up truck
trying to get up when the man has pinned him down
Now it's time for him to move on to the beat of his own sound
It's looking up, sometimes it's tough
you gotta ask yourself Is this enough
Cos In a second you blink
And life has passed you by
Are you awake, what's at stake
It ain't about the money that you make
It's about dreaming things
And making them real
Sing it loud
Shout it out
Gotta pick it up
You'll figure it out
You can be anything you want If you just try
And you can find where you belong
Just come along for the ride
You can be anything you want If you just try
And you can find where you belong
Just come along for the ride
Sing it loud
Shout it out
Gotta pick it up
You'll figure it out
Sing it loud
Shout it out
Can you pick it up
You'll figure it out
Sing it loud
Shout it out
Can you pick it up
You'll figure it out

Sorry, meant to tag #tit4tat!
@caseewilson Mar 2022
My immediate feeling as this started was: "wow! That is some full production". The whole thing has the vibe of a 90s summer movie soundtrack, solid execution, great lyrics and I love love love the harmonies on the chorus. I'm listening to this on a packed metro on my way to work and it's brightening my commute tremendously, thank you!
@davidtaro Mar 2022
Yay, this really pepped up my afternoon, thank you! What lovely inspirational lyrics, and the production is [inserts fire emoji]. So crisp and clean, great mix, sounds huge, thoroughly impressed! Sing it loud indeed :)
@mandolinda Mar 2022
Great motivational song for anyone trying new things, trying anything. Positive feelings and happy tune. #tit4tat
@wolfkier Mar 2022
That's a mouthful of words in the pre-chous into the chorus but it just comes tumbling out, as a radio hit it would be a blast to singalong to in the car. Happy and uplifting! Yay!
@sheilerk Mar 2022
I really love the use of sing it loud to say we need to really live life boldly. This is so well done, from your character sketches in the lyrics to the great melody and arrangement to the great vocals. This one is “radio ready”!!
@seppo Mar 2022
I recently am started to like very much folk & country stuff
Don't know anything about it but loving te feelings it gaves.
This song could be in some good mood movie.
@danvaillancourt Mar 2022
Super catchy bouncy chorus. Nice story line. Great country feel to this one. Bridge section is a nice touch. Jangly guitars and arrangement work great love the ending breakdown and build up jam out. Everyone would yell this one out loud when it came on the jukebox! Sing it loud! You'll figure it out!
@gm7 Mar 2022
Great chorus...songs always need a greatt chorus and this is one of them. The production is so solid and did I say that bridge is cool...you know what I mean "You'll figure it out"!
@eas3637 Feb 2022
THAT CHORUS! Such a wonderful sing-along melody and amazing harmonies. You two have such a gift for crafting songs that can't help but lift everyone up.
@tseaver Feb 2022
Good write! Love the lift from verse to pre-chorus to chorus. Doubling the bridge works surprisingly well here.
@natalie Feb 2022
Great energy right from the opening chords. Love the burst of optimism on the "It's looking up" section! The vocals are so warm and cheerful. They fit the mood and meaning of the lyrics so well. Very encouraging message, and one we can't hear enough. Brilliant song! Thanks for making this!
@nancycunning Feb 2022
This feels like something we would have sang along to on the school buses on the way to track meets. What a great anthem.
@abudabard12514 Feb 2022
Friggin love it, y'all. It feels like the theme song for a 90s teen sitcom where high schoolers are played by 20-30somethings and there's all kinds of awkward sexual shenanigans and the characters all have last names for first names. Everybody throwin backpacks over one shoulder then looking back at the camera as their names flash across the screen. All the actors use their middle names. Life is good. You'll figure it out.
Fantastic production, endlessly fun.
@andygriff Feb 2022
Ooh it's a banger. Bit of a hookmonster you've come up with there :)
@lissielou79 Feb 2022
Wow, great lyrics loving the story, it's very relatable. Production sounds great too. Beautiful!
@celineellis Feb 2022
Boom! Catchy little banger!! Love the structure/form you have used for this one.
@stephentanner Feb 2022
I like this one a lot. Very catchy, very singalong. Will be a great one to play live.
@mariekevinkmusic Feb 2022
Earworm! Excellent balanced vocals/backing. Your sound has really evolved over the past couple of years. Hooky AF!
@liz561 Feb 2022
I could hear this on the radio-it's sooo hooky! Really well done.
@richaaaay Feb 2022
Love this. That wall of sound to start it all off just gets it grooving right from the get go. The strumming of the acoustic and the arpeggios (? or not) on the electric. Just a fun and upbeat song. Great sentiment and feel. Super catchy too. Super well composed and produced. Impressive all around!
@jtsteam Feb 2022
This is great! Really catchy, and some happy optimistic lyrics.
@bethdesombre Feb 2022
Yes!! So celebratory. (and catchy). I like the pictures you sketch of the people. And I love the rhythmic difference across the sections -- especially the quick one ("are you awake") with all its rhymes and then the transition into the chorus. This is so impressively realized production wise. Fantastic!
@jacobeverettwallace Feb 2022
This is fantastic! Y'all have a unique, recognizable sound. Love everything you've got going on here. Great hook. Such positive vibes. Great job!
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
You two never do anything halfway. This is brilliant on all counts: vocals, harmonies, instrumentation, feeling, mix, etc. This is something everyone needs to hear!
@crutherford Feb 2022
what a positive message!

really driving
love the vocals at the end
beauty harmonies
bravo!
