Got a challenge a couple of weeks ago – make a song and music video that will catch the attention of youths that want to be professional truck or bus drivers.

OK, then what…
Well, truck and bus drivers in my country listen to country music, kids likes metal or modern machine music…

So, I ended up with this country-metal-arpeggiated tune:

StorBil / Big Cars

Again, with great help from BiaB – I just love this software! Thanks to everyone at PG Music!

Tracks used:
RealTracks in style: ~520:Bass, Electric, Pop HalfNotes Ev 165
RealTracks in style: ~690:Organ, B3, Background Pop Ev 165
RealTracks in style: 1682:Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 165
RealTracks in style: ~524:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 165
RealDrums: RealDrums in Style: NashvilleOutlaw^10-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride

…and for the next weeks, it's time for the second part of the challenge; trying to make a catchy music video.
Is there a ViaB-program anywhere? (Video-in-a-Box) Peter or anyone? ;-)

Hi Molsenhouse,

nice mixture. You have a knack for catchy choruses.
Where is the corresponding video?

Hi Molsenhouse,

That is a very professionally arranged, smooth sounding song.
We don't exactly know the language, sounds like Scandinavian......?

Nice driving open sounding tune. The hip open raw rock of Tom Petty meets techno rigid quirky drive of the Cars ( Touch and Go for example) Very enjoyable! ( hmmm. A song about cars reminding me of the Cars!)

I like the beginning a lot!
and the harmonies that appear at 1.07, for example!
and the vocals from 2.10
No need to understand the lyrics this is a very catchy tune

enjoyed
