Acknowledgements

          Daydreams wouldn’t have come to life without sharing perspectives and creative energy with my co-producer and engineer, Ben Sanders. Thank you for such a beautiful and eye-opening process of building this record. I would also like to acknowledge my family and their immense love and support: Shaun Richardson, C.J. Oliver, Shane Burkett, Tom and Cindy Richardson. Along the journey, kind people have encouraged, supported, and inspired me to pursue my art. 
 
          I am grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with every artist on this project. It has ignited a fire inside me. How joyous and freeing it is to create art through togetherness. Thank you for helping me find myself and tell my story. I can’t wait to continue this curious, creative journey that began with daydreams and an imagination. 

          Now, daydream with me.

Ana Maria - Wayne Shorter Arr. Richardson

"Laura"
Composed by David Raksin and Johnny Mercer
Arranged by James Richardson
Lead Vocals by Meghan Stagl
Backing Vocals by James Richardson & Shaun Richardson
Engineered by Shaun Richardson

~ Lyrics ~ 

"Laura is the face in the misty light,
Footsteps that you hear down the hall,
The laugh that floats on a summer night,
that you can never quite recall.

And you see Laura on a train that is passing through,
Those eyes how familiar they seem,
She gave her very first kiss you,
That was Laura but she's only a dream."

Laura (feat. Meghan Stagl)
