about

Full of imagination, cool sound effects and exploring the freedom and joy of a child going places.
Calm and gentle, there’s walking, riding a bike and driving in the car.
The walking bass, playful violin, and smooth piano are full of warmth.
Jo Steel’s vocal has a character that gives a nod to the exceptional Julie Andrews.


The story behind the song

Every adult remembers riding a bike as a child with the wind in your hair…
What a freedom it was to go places: the shops, the park, anywhere you wanted!

Children express themselves through movement and they love to explore their world. Their independence contributes to the development of self-esteem, identity and wellbeing.

With the real-life sounds of footsteps, a bicycle, and a car, this song captures some of life’s simplest joys found in travel.

Designed with a slow tempo, this song invites action and participation, yet doesn't leave children in a heightened state of stimulation, rather peaceful and relaxed.

The walking bass stands out and is especially soothing and comforting.

lyrics

Lyrics

Oh the places you’ll go when you’re walking,
You can walk fast or slow and keep talking
You can walk to the park, to the shop down the street
You can walk with your dog, and there’s people you meet
Oh the places you’ll go when you’re walking,
Oh the places you’ll go when you walk

Oh the places you’ll go when you’re riding your bike
Oh the places you’ll go when you’re riding
You can ride all the way to your friend’s house to play
You can ride in the morning and late in the day
Oh the places you’ll go when you’re riding your bike
Oh the places you go when you ride

Oh the places you’ll go when you’re driving
Oh the places you’ll go in your car
You can visit places that seem very far
But you get there so fast, if you go in the car
You can drive to the beach and take your guitar
Oh the places you’ll go in your car
