Love at first sight.
My (1)wife was only angry, (rhy 008,158,170,212)
(4)for a little while
(1)once she got to know you,
(2)you would make her (5)smile.
I'd be lost without you Garmin
Don't know my up from down
But it's ok, I'm (2)free to play
as (5)long as you're (1)around.
Chorus
Oh (4)Garmin, I(you) took you(me) home
Oh (1)Garmin, so glad you're mine
Oh (4)Garmin, I love to turn you on
Oh (2)Garmin, I love to (5)watch (stop)
your little light (1)shine
We were made to travel
to exotic lands
steamy verdant jungles,
golden desert sands
I'd be lost without you Garmin
Don't know my left from right
You are my glowing (2)little lighthouse
(5)thru the darkest (1)nights.
Chorus
I'll take you, on my motorcycle
I'll take you, in my car
I'll take you, in my private plane
doesn't matter where we are
Without you little Garmin
I would crash and burn.
So talk to me .. help me see
.. which way to turn
Chorus end
absolutely magic glen, garmin should use this as an advertisment on the radio.
Brilliant !!!!
Fantastic !!!
A pleasure to listen to !!!
Oh... I love this to bits. Great feel, great playing, great vocals, great lyrical concept... it has the lot. The harmonies reminded me a bit of 'wrapping paper' by Cream, and there's a bit of Clapton generally in the feel of this (to me, anyway). It's just excellent!!!!!!! Gonna have another listen now...
Great! This needs some groovy Hammond... do you mind if I give it a try?
The lighthearted yet meaningfull vox reminds of some early Cat Stevens stuff. But 100 percent more Bluesy! 8) great job!
Love this track....
What a treat! As always excellent production
Great job. Your voice sounds so powerful and "live" here. Super songwriting and playing as well.
Thanks guys. I had fun with this. The Vox was done thru the on board mic using a guitar setting just for a change. I think 'Nashville". Lol
Yes OHR, A Garmin ad was in the back of my mind. I wonder how to reach them?
Yes SdC It would be fun to add Hammond to this. I can add a verse with no vox for a solo?
I also wanted some horn jabs ala Lloyd Jones stuff and may dust off my sax if no one else volunteers.
I'll post this in Collabs for that.
Thanks so much
at first i thought that run it starts of with is a little off, but i come to really like it!
Great job! I love the whole thing!
Cool! It's got a real Lyle Lovett sound to it.
Really cool and great playing and vocal, it,s got the lot enjoyed it very much.
Cool song & creative! This is definitely set up for a cool Garmin commercial! I've got to get me one of those....so I can "watch your little light shine"...
i listened to this over my morning coffee before i headed out to work, and was whistling it in the car. reminds me of elvis circa wooden heart era.
Holy Crap This is so great!! A little different from the usual stuff. I love the bouncy feel to it. I loved your vocals. Can't wait to hear your sax.

Cool. A solo would be a bit too much to ask at this stage though; i'll just be happy if I get 3 minutes of groovy backing down.

I love this as much I love all three of my GPSs and your lyrics really are perfect.
And I can't wait to play this for my wife.
I don't have a GPS but I love this song! Great fun but still well played and well recorded, and a bit different.
Cheers,
Nigel
Thanks again guys.
SdC, perhaps you are right about just adding to the existing to pad it a bit.
You've done a great job elsewhere and I'd be honored for you to add to it.
Got a bit distracted today (lovely sunny weather overhere, and recorded an own song) but I'll get back to it soon.
Yes a gorgeous day here too. First for a while. Where are you?
The Netherlands. Middle of the night now; sitting back and relistening to my new track (see br600 forum). I'm guessing you're in the US?
Comox on Vancouver Island BC Canada
Great swingin' 'Tonk! Nice and bright, too! I could picture this being a Garmin commercial.
Mark

Great tune!!

This song is complete. At least there's nothing I could add to it. Gave it another try today, but I think it's best for the song if I walk away from it.
