I liked this one the best of all the songs you’ve posted. I don’t have a critique. I enjoy car song metaphors for love. “Baby, You can Drive my Car,” Beatles; “Crosstown Traffic,” Jimi Hendrix. I wrote one which I’ve never posted: “This time Baby, you’re Goin Passenger Side. . .if ya wanna ride, this time, ya gotta let me drive.” Anyway, really enjoyed this one Kess.
Thanks for sharing the process for molding your lyrics. I like your technique and if you don’t mind I’m going to give it a try myself next time. Really like the tune. Had to give it another listen! Great job! Thanks for sharing. Bob
That’s a fun song, alright — great hooks and chorus grab ‘hold and make it memorable. The actual sounds (and the overall ‘feel,’ in a way) hearken back to the ’80s and acts like Huey Lewis and Eddie Money — I could hear either of them on the charts (back then) with this song. Maybe it could be shortened to good effect; perhaps the guitar solo is a bit too much of a good thing.
Thats a hit circa 1985. Really good stuff. Love the change from the verse to the chorus. Hit city. Write some new stuff. You should. Lots of talent here.
Very nice! I can tell you are a “veteran” . The only thing would be to make this sound a little more modern? Maybe a few tweaks would get that. Its hard to change something that’s good…But hey this is an awesome recording! Great job on everything!
i wrote this song as an exercise. i wrote down all the car and driving terms and molded them into a lyric. it was fun. kess

Good song. Great music. The bass really drives it, and the horns work great. Nice job. Strong chorus too.

thank you all, your comments mean a lot to me. kess
Great retro vibe with ‘soundtrack’ appeal. Everybody already said what I was thinking. Great voice.
