I’m gonna sing a sad song, cuz I’m feeling sad. I’m gonna sing a happy song, cuz I’m feeling rad. I’m gonna sing an angry song cuz I feel like I’m about to blow up. I’m gonna sing a silly song cuz I never ever ever ever ever wanna grow up. Wild and free! We’re wild and weird and free. Let's be who we wanna be, and let's never ever stop. I can feel it in my heart. I can feel it in my head. Sometimes life can be bewildering Sometimes life makes you feel like you wanna blow up But I ain’t gonna let it phase me, phase me. This is my life and I promise to show up. Gonna make my life amazing, amazing. And I never ever ever ever ever wanna grow up. Wild and free! We’re wild and weird and free. Let's be who we wanna be, and let's never ever stop being so- Wild and free! We’re wild and weird and free. Let's be who we wanna be, and let's never ever stop Never gonna ever gonna ever stop, never ever gonna stop being wild and free– wild and weird and free.

Cheap Jeep 03:06
I got a cheap jeep, it goes beep beep. It goes beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. I got a cheap jeep and it goes beep beep, but it goes so slow it makes me sleep. I wanna hot rod but it costs a lot god. I wanna go vroom vroom like my uncle Todd but I gotta cheap jeep and it goes beep beep. It goes beep, beep, beep, beep sleep. I don’t have all the money. I don’t have all the fame. I try to be a good person. And treat everybody the same. I wanna cute dog but I got a warthog, if I had a cute dog I’d put it on my vlog, but I gotta warthog that we found stuck in a ditch, brought him home, cleaned him up and we named him Mitch. Now Mitch and I ride around in the cheap jeep going beep beep beep beep beep. Yeah Mitch and I ride around in the cheap jeep going beep beep beep beep sleep. I don’t have all the money. I don’t have all the fame. I try to be a good person. And treat everybody the same. Well well well well well one day I found some sheep-sheep stuck in a ditch, but there was no Bo-Peep, just me and Mitch. So we got the cheap jeep and and we backed it up. Mitch herded em in and we cleaned em up. And I realized then it was a stroke of luck cuz if I had a hot rod it woulda gotten stuck and now I’m thankful for my cheap jeep, cuz it fits my fam and my hog and my sheep. I don’t have all the money. I don’t have all the fame. I try to be a good person. And treat everybody the same. I got a cheap jeep, it goes beep beep. It goes beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. I got a cheap jeep and it goes beep beep. It goes beep, beep, beep, beep, sleep.

about

Triple Rainbow's 2nd studio album - Wild & Weird & Free is an eclectic, ruckus dance party on wax. Made up of Tender Loving Empire co-founder, Jared Mees and his daughters --11 year old July Mees and 6 year old Piper Mees. Born in the family garage during the pandemic, Triple Rainbow has come to be known for their colorful cardboard instruments, hilarious and sweet homemade music videos and an unmissable live show. Recently, the band has performed live across the Pacific Northwest at festivals like Pickathon and Treefort fest in support of their first album You Are Magic. Triple Rainbow puts on an uplifting and visually stunning show complete with guest appearances, onstage antics, and a homemade lights and props show that is not to be missed.

"The new album is really fun" notes 6th grader July. "I sang some harmonies this time!" "We don’t really place limitations on genre when we write songs. Usually its just a little lyric or melody or something one of us is humming; then I'll pick up the guitar or the voice recorder and capture the little tidbit of a song for later. After a few weeks of playing with it, the song takes a life of its own. Could end up being something that the kids are listening to or something I listened to when I was a kid or when my parents were kids.. There's lots of epic 90s power pop inspired songs on the record like "Questions?" and "Bad Kitty Kat". There's posi-pop-electro-dance anthems like "I am Part of a Rainbow" "Wild & Weird & Free" and "Mtn Top" that really lift our spirits to sing. Then there's tight surf-rock barn burners like "Rock & Roll Beach" and "Movie Nite" (about skating grampas and aliens visiting a family) that are pure energy. “Bad Kitty Kat”-- a heavy party rock song about bad cats taking over their own house for a party-- was actually conceived conceptually and melodically largely by Piper. Theres a lovely lovely acoustic ender - I’m an Owl.

Triple Rainbow's sophomore effort is a blast for kids and adults alike. The new album combines relatable and catchy pop hooks with concrete yet dramatic storytelling. Add to this Mees' ultra refined arrangements and Andrew Yeghiazarians blissful multi instrumental performances and its easy to see why Triple Rainbow was lauded as "authentic kid power pop" by Geek Dad. Jared concludes: "We want to keep making songs about what makes life awesome and make music that is fun to listen to and fun to play”
