“Bright” is one of my favorite songs on Echosmith’s colorful album, Talking Dreams, and this new version featuring Lindsey Stirling on violin is even better, her instrument adding a whole new layer of emotion to the already gorgeous and inspiring song. Très optimistique!

It seems like just yesterday my parents and I were at The Beach Boys’ 50th Anniversary Concert and I was listening to the group’s excellent comeback album, That’s Why God Made The Radio. But that was 2012 — time seems to fly even faster than they say it does. But now Brian Wilson is back…
