Echoes in the rain

Subie in Distress is a true story.
I took my 2015 Subaru Forester in for routine service and walked out with a $10,000 repair estimate on a car worth less than that. So I did what most people would do: I got a second opinion.
This is an acoustic, singer-songwriter take on car ownership, trust, and the feeling that maybe you’re being nudged toward buying something you don’t actually need.
Recorded and mixed in Logic Pro.
Mastered with iZotope Ozone.
If you’ve ever loved a car that the repair shop didn’t, this one’s for you.

I took my Subie to the dealership, thinking it was doing just fine
Ten years old, eighty-nine thousand miles – just regular maintenance time
I dropped him off and they gave me a loaner, brand new with Apple CarPlay
I drove it home with a smile on my face, thinking maybe I’ll buy one like this someday

I really like my Subie, he’s been such a trusty old steed
We’ve been so many places over the years
He’s fulfilled my every transportation need
I’ve driven him on the west coast, and I’ve driven him in the east
We’ve gone across the continent, he’s been such a steadfast beast

I was looking forward to picking up my Subaru at the dealership the next day
Then I got a call from the service advisor saying things were not okay
He said, “Your transmission fluid’s leaking and your engine oil is too”
There were lots of things wrong – it was gonna cost 10k, and I wasn’t sure what to do
I really like my old Subie, he’s been such a trusty old steed
We’ve gone so many places together over the years
He’s satisfied my every transportation need

I thought Subie has been a good partner, I’ve always treated him right
I’ve done all the routine maintenance, addressed every check-engine light
And when I got that call from the advisor, I thought about trading him in
I felt like a hopeless battle that I was never goanna win

So I posted on an online forum, asking everyone for advice
Some of the comments were nasty but most of them were nice
The consensus was unanimous – they were trying to scare me into buying new wheels
And I should get a second opinion to make sure all the problems were real
So, I got a second opinion, and the engine oil leak didn’t exist
A few of the problems were legitimate, but for a lot less money, they could be fixed

So instead of ten thousand dollars, the repairs cost less than 4K
And I breathed a sigh of relief that my Subie would live for another day

I really like my Subie, he’s been such a trusty old steed
Subie you’r the only car I’m ever goanna need.

Subie in Distress

A scammer tried to lure me in with an advance payment. He wanted a personalized birthday song. I was able to keep him on a leash long enough to get details about this fictional “birthday cousin”,  which I turned into text. The profile has since been deleted, but I wrote the song anyway,  just re-dedicated it,  dedicated it to all those who simply disappear, for whatever reason...
It was an interesting inspiring experiment…

The marble sculpture "Monument to the Unknown Deserter" was created in 1989 at the instigation of the Bonn Peace Plenum by the Turkish sculptor Mehmet Aksoy, who was living in Berlin at the time.

Dear Unknown Deserter,
I only know you by name...
I heard today is your day.
So many candles on the cake.

Weren’t you the one with the wild hair?
What’s the color of  the socks you wear?
Always up for a prank?
Who makes the others laugh?
Who is blushing right now?

The one with the camera,
Capturing the moment?
Look around yourself,
All the loved ones, all your friends,
How they rejoice with you and they chant:

Weren’t you the one who dreamt of skydive?
Here's some dumb donkey jackass recommending:

Look around yourself, capture the moment
It is not the flight that matters, but the landing…

Look around yourself…
This is your life lately
All the loved ones, all your friends
Rejoice with you and they chant:

Capture this moment
All your loving ones and friends
They rejoice with you and they chant…)

Keys to the Underworld, Ascent
-----------------
Down here
Down here in the everlasting dark
We will stay till end of time
No way out of here 
once we've crossed the threshold

Longing for the living       
Stretching for the living
Searching for a way back...
to life again

To life

Way back

To life

To life, to life

Taking the long and winding road, 
the ever winding road, 
to life

way back

to life

I didn't choose this obsession it was chosen for me unknowingly.
Lucky me no regrets.
