“How often do we find ourselves saying or thinking Wouldn’t That Be Nice? Way too often. We get so caught up with our busy, daily lives that we forget to appreciate the small things and don’t take the time to enjoy life to the fullest. I personally tend to always overwork myself and get stressed out really easily, but then I remember to just take a deep breath and relax. Everything will be okay and things will fall into place, so have fun, laugh lots, smile, and surround yourself with people who bring out the best in you – and that’s exactly what was going through my mind when I wrote this song and wrote the video treatment. Wouldn’t That Be Nice is the first song/video that I’m releasing that isn’t anti-bullying or Christmas themed so I’m really excited to see what happens with it!” -Rachel Ashley
