so many; full; a lotCRAZY KEN BAND
This is the 13th single, released on July 6, 2011—an upbeat, high-energy tune that feels exactly like summer! It’s a song about how, as long as there’s a smile ahead, you can keep going even when you’re “overwhelmed,” to the point you can only manage a 20-second phone call.
Conversely, if you remember that everyone is living their lives in the same way, it might make things a little easier.
