Why We Rated This on for Ages 7 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Nice, family-friendly message.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    "Flying By" describes the cycle of life -- including death ("Then it's hospital beds, last words said..."), but will probably go over the heads of some young kids.
  • Sex:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Home at Last

Parents need to know that there isn't anything objectionable on this CD if all you care about is the content of the songs' lyrics. But unless you have an incredibly high tolerance for schlock, you'll find these tedious, overblown versions of "You've Got a Friend" and "Brown Eyed Girl" a little tough to take. "Flying By" describes the cycle of life -- including death ("Then it's hospital beds, last words said..."), but will probably go over the heads of young kids.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about remaking songs. Why do artists feel the need to cover a song? Do you think it helps them or hurts them? Do you think it compromises original creativity or is it a compliment? Families can also listen to the songs "Ready, Set, Don't Go," "The Buffalo," and "Flying By," and talk about important milestones. Parents often have mixed feelings about their children growing up and finding independence, many families have to deal with unexpected layoffs and unemployment, and "Flying By" describes the life cycle in sentimental detail.

    Outstanding, Meaningful Album with NO Objectionalbe Content.

    I loved this album, as the songs are heartfelt and personify the importance of family, and the music is great. If kids want to listen to this album, by all means let them; there is nothing objectionable. Over all, a great album with great music and great values. Highly reccommended.
