Challenge Number 3 - Tell us about a car ?

[cosmicmechanic]

Hi friends, want to tell us about a car so we can all be enlightened ?

A car you love or hate, a car you once had or already have, or maybe hope to get ?

A broken car you fixed or good one you wrecked ?

Maybe a car you want to sell ?

Or one you wish you had again ?

Or maybe kinda more twisted ... what did you do in/with that car ?

The basic principle, I think, is to play something relating to the subject,
using an existing or a made-up melody, like you are "busking" a tune.

Could be VERY short, VERY simple, NO PROBLEMO ... or if longer, then

... If that works for you, then let's go ! Let's us try to write some songs !

This was my first car,,,I think its on the junkyard or totally destroyed..






A song?? a picture tells more than hundred words..At that time I was very pleased with it,,it brought me always home!!

That car must be full of stories (pretty blue), lots more than a hundred words, could you just give us a few words on 3 chords ?

Of course, that means I gotta think up something, too

Here's a song I wish I had written......the song starts at 2:38 if you want to skip the introduction.....

[cosmicmechanic]

Daryl, thanks for the inspiration. I shed a tear.

Just goes to show this is a rich subject, I hope others will join in ... doesn't have to be a masterpiece like this !

Could be VERY silly, too :blink:

Willem, You've almost written a whole song here:

We were so blue
It drove me to my girl too
She lived on the other side
From where I lived

We were so blue
Easy Rider was the first movie
I took her to
But she lived on the other side
From where I lived

So how does your story end?
