Lily Meola - Daydream (Official Lyric Video)

Listen to Daydream on your favorite streaming service! 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 Credits: Video Production: Forrest Dein, Kanza Stott, Lily Meola Director of Photography: Forrest Dein Video Editing: Lily Meola, Forrest Dein Song Producers: Casey Brown, Spencer Engler Songwriters: Casey Brown, Mags Duval, Lily Meola Filmed in the beautiful Castle Theater at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center With thanks to Mark Astrella, Technical Director Special Thanks: Sugar High Loved Stone (Wardrobe) Kanza Stott, Natalie (Car) Actors: Wilks, Remy
