Lily Meola - Daydream (ASL, Guitar, Ukulele?, Piano, & More)

Todays song is Daydream by Lily Meola. Lily is an American solo singer-songwriter born and raised on the island of Maui, Hawaii. Despite her early industry connections, the loss of her mother and record deal left her independent and struggling. Her massive breakthrough arrived in 2022 when she auditioned for Season 17 of America's Got Talent. She performed "Daydream," moving the entire arena to tears and prompting judge Heidi Klum to press her coveted Golden Buzzer, catapulting Lily directly into live show stardom and reigniting the song's global footprint.

This song was released as a standalone single on August 27, 2021.Co-written with Casey Brown and Mags Duval, the soulful pop ballad confronts how aging slowly erodes human ambition. The first verse contrasts the limitless imagination of childhood ("Playing astronauts and rockstars / No one told us to stop it") with the compromises of adulthood, where people reluctantly pivot to a safe "Plan B." 

Lily originally wrote the song during a beautiful, stable period in her life. However, shortly after writing it, her life pivoted completely when her mother was diagnosed with cancer. Lily lost her record label deal, fell into a deep depression, and put her career on hold to act as a full-time caretaker. Following her mother's passing, Lily revealed that she realized she had subconsciously written the track for her future self as a direct lifeline to pull her out of grief and inspire her to keep going.

This song is just so motivating that I must learn it. So let's learn this one together, the ASL version and on Guitar and Piano too. I'm still looking for Ukulele versions - can you make one?... Plus check out the bonus covers. Let's get in to it.
 

Lily Meola - Daydream (Official Lyric Video)

Listen to Daydream on your favorite streaming service! https://lilymeola.lnk.to/daydream I wrote this song at a time in my life when things were pretty beautiful, I was living in a house surrounded by a pasture full of longhorn, I was raising butterflies and a baby deer. I would travel back and forth between LA, Maui and Nashville pursuing my souls passions. I had a record and a publishing deal, everything I had been working for my whole life was coming into fruition. I felt the need to write a song called ‘daydream’ that wasn’t about love or heartbreak, I wanted something meaningful and inspiring…something that would encourage other young people to listen to their heart. After a few hours with Mags Duval and Casey Brown, Daydream was born.. Then the unexpected happened, my mom was diagnosed with cancer and my life twisted upside down. I lost my record deal and my confidence. I developed an extreme case of anxiety. My main focus was my mom, and naturally nothing else seemed to matter… After a fierce fight with vast ups and downs, my mom passed away. In that moment, not only did I lose my mom, I lost my best friend and number one cheerleader. I found myself falling into a depression, the grief and sadness took over me... Now after battling this heartbreak, I feel like I wrote this song for my future self, to re-inspire me to never quit my daydream. -lily
