Price and Naughton first started collaborating together writing songs for Price's 2004 Geffen Records debut -- a CD that spawned Price's single "I'm on my way", featured on the multi-platinum Shrek 2 soundtrack.
Over the course of several late-night jam-sessions (and despite their obvious geographical challenges), the three discovered a musical blend and kinship that quickly overwhelmed the obstacles (and solo careers) to form The Sweet Remains. The band has been winning fans across the country, headlining venues ranging from L.A.'s "Hotel Cafe" to Austin's SXSW to New York's "Joe's Pub". Their debut CD is 'Laurel & Sunset' (2009).

Easy
The Sweet Remains Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The ocean within reach, the sand under our feet, baby don't you want to go
Call in sick to work, you don't owe anything to that jerk
Take some time and get a little sunshine and take it easy
Take it easy
take it easy
on me babe,
Cant deny the way that you're looking in your brand new two piece
if i had my way, i'd find a bit of shade and follow those tan lines home
to the sound of the sea everything is alright
lets have a little fun with some coconut rum and take it easy
Take it easy
take it easy
on me babe,
take it easy
Diggin' on this feel good music
Diggin' on this moonshine
Diggin' on the mother load
Your love is a gold mine
Your love is a gold mine
Take it easy
take it easy
on me babe,
take it easy
Gotta take it nice and slow
Ebb and flow
