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.

We Are One
Renee & Jeremy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Colors and sizes of boys and girls
We come from all places and have different faces
Learning to share this big world
'Cause
We are one
And that's wonderful
And there's never gonna be anyone like you
Never gonna be anyone like you
Mountains and deserts and seas
Rivers and forests rocks and trees
All kinds of weather sky ties us together
Wouldn't the flowers agree
That
We are one
And that's wonderful
You are you
And there's never gonna be anyone like you
Never gonna be anyone like you
Wherever you go
Whatever you see
However you grow
You're a part of me
'Cause
We are one
And that's wonderful
You are you
And there's never gonna be anyone like you
Never gonna be anyone like you
The lyrics to Renee & Jeremy's song "We Are One" celebrate the diversity of humanity and nature, while also emphasizing our interconnectedness. The opening lines acknowledge that there are all kinds of people in this world - different colors, sizes, and faces - but despite our differences, we are learning to share this big world together. The chorus repeats the message that "we are one," and that this is a wonderful thing. The song then goes on to describe the different landscapes of the earth - mountains, deserts, seas, rivers, forests, rocks, and trees - and suggests that all kinds of weather and elements bind us together. The final stanza states that wherever we go or whatever we see, we are a part of each other.
The song is essentially a celebration of unity and diversity. The lyrics stress that individuality is important and unique, yet also emphasize the universal nature of being human. We all share the earth, and we all share in the experiences and challenges that come with life. Through this song, Renee & Jeremy encourage their listeners to embrace their individuality while recognizing the interconnectedness of all things.
