I was blessed with the opportunity to play guitar on this remix of Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf for the Chevrolet American Revolution Campaign. Chevy proceeded to use this music in multiple TV and radio ads for several years. Good times. My Site: https://www.schmusicproductions.com/ Session Work: https://www.fiverr.com/share/NWywbG My Band: https://www.standinginwaves.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/standinginwaves/ Community: https://www.artist-resources.com/ From Wikipedia: An American Revolution is a former advertising campaign used by American car manufacturer Chevrolet. First introduced on New Year's Eve 2003 in the United States to promote its "ten new cars and trucks in twenty months", released since January 2004, but the lineup of advertised cars was later expanded. Also including the Korean made Chevrolet Aveo. The campaign was made by advertising firm Campbell-Ewald from Warren, Michigan, near General Motors' headquarters in Detroit. An American Revolution was released on the TV program Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve on the TV channel ABC. The TV commercials have also been shown on high-audience sports television programs, e.g. the American football program The NFL on CBS. One of the first TV commercials in the campaign directed by Michael Bay featured the song "Magic Carpet Ride" by Steppenwolf. The advertisement was titled "An American Revolution, Car Carrier" and featured six not-yet-introduced new cars and trucks boarding a car carrier as it traverses the United States—notably an Aveo descending the Twin Peaks of San Francisco and making an airborne leap reminiscent of Steve McQueen's Ford Mustang in the movie Bullitt — before boarding the car carrier. In July 2009, GM announced the "An American Revolution" campaigns would end in the fall of 2009 and would be replaced by new campaigns.

My, immaculate dream made breath and skin I've been waiting for you Signed, with a home tattoo, Happy birthday to you was created for you (Can't ever keep from falling apart At the seams Can't I believe you're taking my heart To pieces) Oh, it'll take a little time, might take a little crime to come undone now We'll try to stay blind to the hope and fear outside Hey child, stay wilder than the wind And blow me in to cry Who do you need, who do you love When you come undone Words, playing me deja vu Like a radio tune I swear I've heard before Chill, is it something real Or the magic I'm feeding off your fingers (Can't ever keep from falling apart At the seams Can I believe you're taking my heart To pieces) Lost in a snow-filled sky We'll make it alright to come undone now We'll try to stay blind To the hope and fear outside Hey child, stay wilder than the wind and blow me in to cry Who do you need, who do you love When you come undone? Who do you need, who do you love When you come undone? Who do you need, who do you love When you come undone? (Can't ever keep from falling apart) Who do you need, who do you love When you come undone? #duranduran #comeundone #durandurancomeundone #guitarcover #guitarinstrumental #guitarist
