Banana Republics - Jimmy Buffett cover

We all feel it sometimes...no control, tossed around by fate. With the car as a metaphor, Shael Wrinch and Chris Herbsen have a new tune, "Drive the Car". Vocals by Chris , Shael and introducing Sierra Wolfe with some gorgeous harmonies, and thanks also to Garth Mosbaugh ("The Nylons") for some wonderful piano!  Produced as always by Shael at Stone Hill studio on beautiful Bowen island. 

Lyrics:
Rusty sign on a rusty chain. Rusty town, not much to gain
Destiny is a dark and heavy load
Both hands upon the wheel, no control that I can feel
Here we are just victims of the road
                                                                    and the seeds we sowed.
Let me drive the car...
Fate has got my heart in tow, telling me which way to go.
Some day I'm gonna strike out on my own
This route mapped out for me, on a highway I cant see
A version of my life that I don't own
                                                                 On a wind I'm blown
Let me drive the car...
Through a windshield cracked and worn, nerves tattered, dreams are torn
Bad tires and fuel is running low
I know there's a road out there, smooth, warm, desert air
All I ask is time behind the wheel
                                                           and the miles I feel
Let me drive the car...

The Garden - Dustin Furlow cover

The first time I heard this was May singing it live at her CD release party for the album Tiny Beautiful Things in March of '22.   It nearly brought me to tears thinking of the relationship my parents had for 64 years after they had both recently passed.   May is an outstanding songwriter when it comes to the human condition.
