Airstream Driver

[mistral blue]

Heard this for the first time today: New Gomez: “Airstream Driverâ€� « Fuzzy Thoughts

[Frank's Trailer Works]

My sister in law works for an undisclosed promotion company... she sent me the single a month ago. I did not like it at first, but it has grown on me.

[nswhite]

I just heard it for the first time, too. I grows on you. Will add it to the list of road music.

Had a time running down where the download actually was.

Gomez on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

In my search, ran across the lyrics. Helps when you are listening through laptop speakers...

All the angels on the wire
Getting dizzy from the heights
Go carefully, carefully
Oh, airstream driver

She shoots but never misses
Stare down, passin’ traffic
Go carefully, carefully
Oh, airstream driver

I would return the favour
Oversleep the rapture
Go carefully, carefully
Oh, airstream driver

Your watermelon candy mouth
The penthouse at the sands
Go carefully, carefully
Oh, airstream driver

Mistral blue should make the video......

My vote for "Birds on a Wire"

YouTube - Johnny Cash - Like A Bird On A Wire

[cameront120]

As much as I love Johnny Cash, I do prefer the songwriter's rendition:

YouTube - Leonard Cohen - Bird on a wire

[reday]

Boy this thread is wandering...

Leonard, tops.

Johnny, great.

k. d. lang does a very good job on Hymns of the 49th Parallel.

Here are other "Bird on a wire covers" noted on Wikipedia...

Joe Cocker on Joe Cocker! (1969) and the live album Mad Dogs & Englishmen (1970)

If you got down this far, my favorite JC in his later days is his cover of Nine Inch Nails "Hurt"

Embedding may not work... click twice or go look for it...

YouTube - Johnny Cash Hurt

[mistral blue]

I am continually amazed at Johnny's pure artistic talent.
Every time I hear his version of Hurt I am moved.
Thank you reday.
Keep on wandering.

Well sense this became a Johnny Cash thread suddenly, I thought I might throw my pick in. You see, I don't really care for those slow sad songs. I prefer something to make the toe tap, a little rock a billy, a little sinner music. I was sent this a few weeks ago and embedded it on my blog.

Rhapsody doesn't work for us in Canada. What song is it?

[ROBERT CROSS]

Title track, Jesse Winchester, "Nothing But a Breeze"

("Twigs & Seed's" may also bring a smile, depending on where your head's at.

[cameront120]

Thanks! I'll have to look for that at home, my speakers aren't hooked up here at my office.

That was great...forwarding it to my son who's a big JC fan!

......... :26 in Early Axle Replacement???

I like "Airstream Driver".... do we have an Airstream specific song thread going in here somewhere? If not we need one

[enduroryda]

oh bummer....I wanted to fix my above post....timed out ...oh well

Seeing how we are off on a tangent we'll juice it up a little for 62overlanders "toe tap...little bit of sinner music"....how about a little Foostompin'! Love this!
