When asked why “Well May The World Go” is a perfect song for Buncee Buddies: Celebrate Peace 2016 Brady says,”To me, the song “Well May the World Go” is like a wish, a wish hoping that we all enjoy the simple, beautiful things that life has to offer: nature, music, sports and play, community, family, love and finally, peace. It’s a song that gently reminds us that we should live passionately and responsibly – knowing that what we leave behind will be passed on to future generations. It could also be a recipe for creating a peaceful world: take care of yourself and each other, respect and honor the earth, and then simply… well may the world go.”
