Beautiful song TuneMonger! The sparse accompaniment is just what this calls for and sounds great! This is a tune a lot of folks will relate to! Thanks, Torrey

'TuneMonger'...
The title of your song suggested that I was about to listen to some kind of blistering, wailing rock number celebrating the smell of engine oil and the sound of screeching tires and the roar of the crowd with some high-octane lyrics heating up the mix.
And then, my ears got treated to a gentle ballad that recounted with impressionistic sensitivity the nostalgic, remembered pleasures of drag racing in what appears to have been a small, rural community setting. Your singing had that suspended-in-time feel that magnified a powerful sense of recollection of past events.
It's a finely-crafted and felt song in all ways.

It READS like a hot rod/car/surf song. Plays like a reminiscence with regrets. It does sound as is you're on the edge of an uncomfortable key but you carry it off with slightly melancholy whisper singing. Nice.

Hi TuneMonger,
A bit unexpected that you made this ballad. Like Bluage I expected to hear 'some heavy stuff', but then there was this very sensitive, lovely song. With very nice lyrics. I still hear your voice in my head, very sensitive and just beautiful. There is one thing though. I had the feeling the key you sing in is a bit high on some parts. And then I saw Ray wrote something similar. On the other hand, singing in this key, however, gives the song a nice fragile character.

TM,
A well-written lyric.
Good, simple singer-songwriter backing.
Nice to hear you singing this...

Nice. Either you lived the story (which is cool) or you are very creative (which is cool too). Either way this is a winner. The band got in the mood, that's for sure.

Janice said it reminds her of Jim Croce and his vivid story telling.
Great write and your emotive vocal well delivers the lyric.
We're always impressed with AABB rhymes structures that don't sound forced. Not easy to do.
Nice backing tracks and mix.
I (Bud) frequented drag ways in the early 60's -- thanks for the memories.
Well done!

Hi TuneMonger, Wow, when I looked at the lyrics, I thought it was going to be like a Beach Boys/Jan and Dean song. Or maybe possibly a Jim Groce's Rapid Roy (The Stock Car Boy). But Noooo... You went and turned it into a longing for nostalgia and bittersweet little tune. Nice job picking the music and singing the vocals...

Thanks to everyone for your kind comments! I didn't do any drag racing when I was younger but my friends did, so I learned a little about it. Learned enough to write a song, I guess. Thanks also for going easy on me with the singing. I know I don't have much of a voice.
