In Anton's new song "My car and me" the car becomes the best friend.
"It's a car song," Anton says. "The car is personified in it." The song is about being carefree on the roads in your car and enjoying life. "My wife, Riekie, loves driving and going down the highway," Anton says, adding, "Especially in Germany." Driving, he says, is not excitement for her, but relaxation."
Anton wasn't thinking about a specific car when he came up with the lyrics to this new feel-good song.
Anton presented the song during his second digital concert, it is song number 9:
Songtext: My car and me !
Lyrics and music: Anton van Doornmalen
Your steering wheel loosely in my hand
As we drive through the country land
Am I driving you, or you driving me?
Together we’ll be
We are a strong team, as you see
To hit the road, I’m gonna need your key
The key to start on our drive
When will we arrive?
We can go where we want to
On a long and winding road
We’ll drive through the night
Till we see the morning light
It feels great and free
It gives me peace of mind
Driving with you is so…… relaxing for me
I feel very safe and at ease
Neither of us ever disagrees
Always waiting for me
You continue tirelessly
Do you know what we sometimes need?
Driving where there is no limit on speed
On a bright summer holiday
On the German highway
We can go where we want to
On a long and winding road
We’ll drive through the night
Till we see the morning light
It feels great and free
It gives me peace of mind
Driving with you is so …… relaxing for me
La lalalalalalaaaaaai
It’s wonderful to drive It gives me peace of mind
Driving with you Is so relaxing for me
With the radio on I sing along
Often very loudly – an expression of joy
