SympVibes with Dave Barnes!

It happened. SympVibes sang with Dave Barnes during his Atlanta show last night. Thanks to Dave for making this happen!

SympVibes in the News!

SympVibes’ original song, Left Turn Only (OH NO!), was picked up by 11Alive News in Atlanta and has been playing off and on all day! Matt LeVine wrote the song about how much he hates Atlanta traffic. For the story, check out the 11Alive website. Listen to a clip of the song below and while you’re at it, you might as well buy the CD in the store!

Riding in the fast lane
Trying to be on time,
I run into crosstown traffic
and behind an endless line
I duck through a one-way alley but it
takes me to a place I don’t know

(Chorus)
Left Turn Only, OH NO!
That’s not the way I wanna go
Just went out for a quick drive
Now I’m stuck on I-85
Bumper-to-bumper so slow
I may not ever arrive!

(Spoken: And now a ride down Piedmont Drive…)
Pothole, pothole, pothole, metal plank
pothole, pothole, pothole, metal plank
Construction workers blocking this lane
pothole, pothole, pothole, metal plank
Seven workers standing ’round,
watching one guy work all alone

(Chorus)
Left Turn Only, OH NO!
Construction’s blocking this road
Exits closed off on both sides
All the way up I-75
This flagger won’t let me go
Forward motion denied!

(Bridge)
The traffic lights are poorly timed, the roads are poorly lit
and no one knows how four way stop signs work

(Spoken: Now let me get this straight…)
So West Peachtree and Peachtree Street merge into Peachtree Road Northwest
Crossing Peachtree Park and Peachtree Battle
Peachtree Ave, Peachtree Hills, Peachtree Way
With 71 streets named Peachtree how the
hell will I ever find my way home?

(Chorus)
Left Turn Only, OH NO!
I don’t know which way to go
Peachtree Roads left and right
Now I’m circling 285
Who designed these roads I don’t know
I wish those Peachtrees would DIE!
