Finished the last track for my Bradbury project. The last two tracks on the album (Farewell Summer and October Country) are a little somber so I wanted something uptempo. Might seem like a peculiar song for a 59 year old to sing - but I'm looking back on my 19 year old self. smile

Come and Bring Constance is here:

https://youtu.be/x1SmTculXC8


Lyric is below. Hope you enjoy it. smile

Scott



Come and Bring Constance
(c) 2018 by SW Campbell

You gotta get downtown, I kid you not
They’ve roped off the Western Auto lot
They got a band that’s smokin’ hot
And the pig is turning
They got Coors on tap and pretty girls galore
It outta be enough but I’d like something more
So please knock on your cousin’s door
And tell her daylight’s burning

Come and bring Constance (x3)
Be a pal
Come and bring Constance (x3)
Get her here somehow

On the cliff at the quarry, she’s a climbing fool
Rebuilt a 55 Chevy with her own tools
She knows every swimming hole
From here to Andover
She got a perfect score on her SATs
I’ve seen her slap down guys who were being mean
If there’s a cooler girl on the scene
Well I don’t know her

Come and bring Constance (x3)
Be a pal
Come and bring Constance (x3)
Get her here somehow

Well you can have the hair-flipping gals who style
With the tattoos on their calf
I prefer Constance’s crooked grin
And her wicked belly laugh

Come and bring Constance (x3)
Be a pal
Come and bring Constance
Come and bring Constance
You can have this party
We’ll go somewhere else!

Loved every part of this Scott. The video is entertaining and the uptempo had me tapping along. No "nits" from the hot humid north.

Scott,

What a fun song, a great picture of that moment in time--I remember that feeling of hoping to see a special gal at an event. Music is perfect for this pop tune. (I know where Andover is too)! My G-Grandparents buried in a cemetery between Andover and Williamsfield--you and I probably only ones around here that know that particular geography!

Enjoyed this song, and would be curious to see that gal Constance--probably a Tomboy that couldn't disguise her natural beauty?

What a catchy and positive song. You did a great job on the arrangement, the instruments and the video. And to me, the highlight is your voice - unique tone and soulful raspiness.

It's never too late? Yes it is, so do it now.

Thanks Gavin. LOL - I'm starting to run out of shirts.

Constance is a combination of several impressive young women I knew around the time I was 18-20. No romantic connection but they clued me in to the kind of woman I was looking for (and soon found). smile

I haven't heard Slim Dusty, Travis. Will have to check him out. Heck, I'd do it based on his name alone.

Glad you enjoyed.

Cool song and performance. I was thinking how much work you put into that whole video. Different camera angles with three different instruments had to be a challenge. Nice job!

Thanks, Iggy. Not that much work - I just had to play and record it about 5 separate times. I guess there was a fair amount of splicing and dicing of audio and video tracks though. smile

Constance must have been something. At least it sure sounds like it. She could be the next Sharona or the next Jenny, Jennyt! Not much to add to whats alreadty been said. Extremely hooky and catchy and loads of fun. Nice job Thx for sharing.

Dave
