The crisp and clean delivery is captured, somehow indescribably and with a notable easiness, here in the video. Sometimes we linger over our glory days and daydreams, and this song shines a light on that tendency – our habits of lingering over what we could have done differently, and how things could have gone in different directions. Crafted with a shine and an optimism, this song is a keeper.
“American Sweetheart” was written with the feeling of romanticizing the past, relationships, places and the ever-elusive, ‘what could have been.’ As much as I wanted to relive the glory of those nostalgic moments, what this song really encompasses for me is the desire and beauty of a fantasy, the possibility that a daydream could exceed or enhance any memory. We can’t change what was, but our imaginations can always run wild! – Lillian Leadbetter
