While we set out to make a record for our little ones, mostly written while renee was on bed rest with amelia, and recorded in the recording studio we set up in amelia's bedroom, we really ended up making a record for ourselves & other parents like us. We welcomed a range of mood and melody from bright to dark, silly to stark, and influence from all our heroes of song, from Drake to Joni to Marley.

It all started with a simple idea, really: to make kids' music that adults could enjoy, not just tolerate - a collection of original songs for parents who appreciate the likes of Jack Johnson, Nick Drake, and Aimee Mann. The result is a treasure chest of luminous harmonies and sophisticated lullabies. Quiet time music for the whole family to enjoy together.

From the moment renee and jeremy became a duo there musical energy has almost been palpable. The title track on it's a big world came to Jeremy on a walk with his 1-year-old son, Ezra - after wondering what life would be like through his eyes. And Renee crafted her haunting and minimalist lullaby, Powder Blue, out of her own meditations on motherhood before becoming one herself. The duo vowed not to be afraid to let the odd minor key shade a little dark into the album's sunny canvas, and to have fun with their lyrics without straying from the underlying positive message.

Jeremy Toback has released two critically acclaimed CDs on RCA, 1997's Perfect Flux Thing and 1999's Another True Fiction which yielded the radio hit, "You Make Me Feel", before parting with the label in 2001. He is an original member of the band Brad along with Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam, and later went on to found his own record label for yoga music.

Tracks from Renee Stahl's first CD, Melancholy Pop, have been featured on television series such as Roswell, Wonderfalls, and Party of Five. Her latest release, Hopeful Romantic, distributed nationally by Barnes & Noble Booksellers.

We love the music that came through us and our children seem to dig it as well. We hope you and yours will too.

Renee & Jeremy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are you the sun
Are you the moon
Are you a watermelon bug in June
Are you a frog
Are you a bee
Are you the kitty cat up in the tree

Everything is possible

'Cause you're a miracle
Everything is possible
When you're around
'Cause you're a miracle, uh huh
A little a miracle, oh yeah
'Cause you're a miracle, uh huh
A little miracle, oh yeah

Are you a fish
Are you a fly
Are you the hummingbird buzzin' on by
Are you the beach
Are you the sand
Are you the wave that washes up upon the land

Everything is possible
'Cause you're a miracle
Everything is possible

A little miracle, oh yeah
Do do do do

Are you the seed
Are you a tree
You can be anything you want to be

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Miracle" by Renee & Jeremy are a playful take on the idea that everything in life is possible because of the miraculous nature of existence. The lyrics ask the listener to consider the possibility that they are everything from a watermelon bug in June to a flower in bloom, to the sun and moon themselves. The song celebrates the fact that every living being has the potential to be anything they choose to be, whether it is a fish, a frog, a seed or a mighty tree. This positive message is reinforced by the chorus of the song which repeats "everything is possible because you're a miracle" over and over again.

The song is constructed as a dialogue between the singers and the listener, encouraging the listener to open their minds to the endless possibilities of life. The lyrics seem to be aimed at young children, with images of cats in trees and bees buzzing by, but the message is universal and can be applied to people of all ages. The playful, joyful tone of the song is infectious, and it is impossible to listen to "Miracle" without feeling uplifted and optimistic about the world around us.
