New Country - song in development - a collab
Born in the TAXI TV chat room during the January 20th episode -
fellow TAXI member, Charles A. Wilson (aka TuKatz), graciously accepted my offer to pen some lyrics to his completed Instrumental Cue.
Here's the rough of
Drivin' To Nashville
https://soundcloud.com/funsongs-1/drivi ... -2/s-PYrN0
ears & comments welcome.
Thanks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Verse 1)
All we own, packed into the back of my truck
You and me leavin', with a kiss for good luck
Drivin' to Nashville, like we're goin' to Disneyland
Like the joy of walkin' holdin' onto your hand
Chorus 1)
Chasin' our dream, drivin' to Nashville
If you say "YES!!" - Darlin', you know that I will
We'll be high-fivin' with smilin' faces
Like hittin' a home-run, then roundin' all the bases!! Yeah!!...
Verse 2)
Our new adventure, unknown and uncertain
The surprise of seein' what's behind the curtain
To hear the crowd in the stadium
Singin' with you and me, they're cheerin' our song!
repeat Chorus 1)
Chasin' our dream, drivin' to Nashville
If you say "YES!!" - Darlin', you know that I will
We'll be high-fivin' with smilin' faces
Like hittin' a home-run, then roundin' all the bases!!
Lead guitar solo/break (added: by Steve Peavey)
Bridge)
What awaits us? We'll just have to find out
But right now - I JUST WANNA SHOUT!
Chorus 2)
Chasin' a dream, we're drivin' to Nashville
If you say, "YES!!" Darlin', you know that I will
They'll be high-fivin' and singin' along
Cheerin' for our love - and lovin' our song!
Tag/Ending)
We're in love, and we're drivin' to Nashville

I really like this one Peter.. a departure from what I usually hear from you.
Sounds like a Nashville ringer playing that lead guitar solo.
Great job!

Go your own way! Out of necessity, drive, gumption, whatever.. don't let anyone tell you you can't!
It's not what goes into your music that's important, it's what comes out the speakers

Nice job Peter and Charles! I like the lyrics and the music is solid. Nice guitar solo also. It's got that laid back feel of being happy with where you are going. And who wouldn't want to go to Nashville. I like the Disney comparison Nice job!

Still on the hunt for just the right voices - a male/female duet kind of thing.

Hey Peter and Charles,
I really enjoyed this, thought the hook was excellent and has been in my head for the rest of the morning
Also seconding that the guitar solo is really nicely played!
Was it for a specific listing or just for future submissions?
Either way, great tune!

This song was originally the music-only composition by Charles "TuKatz" - submitted as an Instrumental Cue (I believe it got returned, per the Jan 20th TAXI TV episode review);
but immediately upon hearing it on the show, its structure and high-quality inspired and impelled me to ask if I could help make it into a proper song. It was a bit of a road of discovery,
and - to be honest - I feel as giddy & surprised about what was discovered; probably more than most others. It just seemed to flow together quickly, and sort of write itself.
I was happy to be allowed to participate in its being revealed.
Hope that makes sense;
Cheers.

This is pretty good. Even for someone who doesn't dig country music, I was bobbing my head and following the story line.
Good luck with it!

It's not like you're being asked to let go of The Force, and come over to The Dark Side or anything.
I mean, what's not to like about a truck? And, certainly, a tiny bit of twang can't do you no harm... can it?
Cheers! er, uh - Giddy-Yup!

I like this, Peter! Played it through a couple of times this morning and now it's stuck in my head.
