Brandi Carlile Just Dropped By 'Sesame Street' To Sing About Nature—And Fans Are Swooning

Though it's literally everywhere and amply accessible, some parents might struggle with ways to share nature with their kids.

That's why it's always great to have resources on hand to help with those elusive subjects—resources like, say, Sesame Street!

One of Sesame Street's latest friends to visit was none other than six-time Grammy Award winner Brandi Carlile. Carlile is a member and avid activist for the LGBTQ+ community, as well as a cofounder of the Looking Out Foundation, which promotes and financially supports community nonprofits.

During her visit on Sesame Street, Carlile was caught by Big Bird and Snuffy while observing a large letter 'N' that was adorned with tree foliage and flowers. After pointing out that one of her favorite things, nature, started with the letter 'N,' the two characters loudly pronounced their love of nature, before admitting they didn't really know what nature was.

The Grammy winner offered to explain it with a new song:

"When I feel a gentle breeze, hear it whistling through the trees;"

"When I greet the green, green grass beneath my feet;"

"I see a butterfly in flight, floating in the warm sunlight;"

"When I taste a summer berry, and it’s oh so very sweet,"

"I feel so lucky that you and me, get to live in this beauty."

In the chorus, Big Bird and Snuffy got involved in the song while Carlile sang:

"When I see nature all around me, and I feel as peaceful as can be;"

"Clouds roll by and happiness surrounds me."

"It’s in my nature to love nature, naturally."

Carlile took a hilarious approach to announce her visit to Sesame Street.

In an Instagram post, Carlile shared a photo of her nine-year-old daughter, Evangeline, frowning from inside Oscar the Grouch's trash can while Oscar pouted at her from off to the side.

In the caption, Carlile celebrated:

"I finally did something that impresses Evangeline!"

Fans were tickled by the photo and the irony of calling Evangeline "impressed."

It's so easy to take for granted the wonders all around us.

It's refreshing when artists remind us of the beauty in life, and it's especially wonderful when it's accessible to kids!
