This is the childhood anthem of staring out the backseat window while envisioning some kind of imaginary runner hopping along the landscape as your await your destination. (Mine was Link riding Epona.)
I always think it takes a lot of guts to write a song and decide "And now I'll go ouh ouh ouh ouh for 25 seconds", then write that down, then make it work.
Hehe. You just gotta dive right in full force and be all like "I am doing this!" Even if Steve Negrete from Steam Powered Giraffe hates it with a passion. XD
Steam Powered Giraffe You guys really help put some of my faith back into music. Thank you for producing songs like this. They are very nice, and this is one of the best bands I've ever heard.
Now this is some good traveling music, not even gonna lie. Kind of like to see it in a road trip movie, or maybe in one about a rebellious runaway youth. Love the song, David!
I just found this song during a UA-cam roaming session...I love it and the late afternoon, sleepy driving passenger feeling it gives. David got what he was aiming for. Beautiful job.
Taking out the main vocals and just listening to the background vocals, you get to hear a low relaxed version of David's singing and probably the most high pitched singing I've ever heard him sing. It's quite the experience.
Does anyone else have their love of music restored by this band? Like, music is very rarely so orrignial anymore, or at least not in the mainstream media.. It is so beautiful to see such originality produced with such love. Not many bands make me feel their passion through their music, but with SPG you can feel their love for their music, each other and us
About to have my first vet school exam, I'm anxious and all, but this song never fails to keep the bad thoughts away from my mind. It's very special in an unexplainable way. Love and Hugs to David and all Steam Powered Giraffe members from Greece, you guys will always be the best.
As much as I love David's other solo stuff, this one makes me serene like no other. No matter what I'm feeling, if I turn this on, just... instantly relaxed. I don't actually have words for how much I enjoy this song.
Although you may not read this, or completely ignore it-- I just want you to know that I thank you as a band, and you as people for existing. You make the day worth listening to, because I know I pop in my copy of MK-III in my player and just.. relax. It makes the days stress all worth while.
There is an old haunted asylum near where I live called Rolling Hills and for some reason when I read the title I got really excited because I thought maybe you did one of there overnight tour things. I was hoping you were in my area. The song is way better than a video of your visit to a haunted asylum though
This is delicious. Is that him singing with himself!? LOVE IT!! A thought on other comments I read: I ADORE David solo and would always enjoy listening to him, but it would absolutely break my heart to see Steam Powered Giraffe end as a group.
Thank you david, for posting the chord sheet! So useful for us musicians out there. I draw my inspiration from you guys, keep up the good work (writing a song that has the SPG feel).
This song has been on loop since I got up this morning. I'm getting some work done on a costume and this is helping me stay focused so much more than normal. Thanks for the great song.
You are wonderful. I appreciate your music in all of its forms. It really has been therapeutic for me and I am forever grateful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Beautiful work! Love the simplicity & sweetness of this one. Makes me think of summery dresses, sunglasses, and the reflection of the scenery in a car's window.
It is wonderful and I would love to have this song play every time I got into my car, and I promise I'd song along each time. Your music is beautiful David, and I dearly love fire fire as well.
This reminds me of my vacations driving through the countryside of Lancaster, PA. Endless blue skies, stretches of green grass, expansive fields of sunflowers, dipping and diving hills building up to the mountains. All wonderful sights, especially during the summer and fall. This is such a relaxing, beautiful song. You guys are incredibly talented. Keep it up! :)
I just love this song it's so cool I'm so glad that my mom introdused this to me one day I hope I get to go to another one of your concerts I'm so glad that me and my mom got to see you guys in Dallas and I'm so glad that I got to meet you David your so nice hope to see you again soon😊😊
Just thought you all at SPG should know that the joy and integrity with which you perform your music and shows really comes through. Thanks for sharing your wonderful creativity with us! :) Myself and my whole family are recent and HUGE fans! Cheers!
Now I foresee hundreds of fans obsessing over this, instead of your Diamonds cover, going "Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo...." all day long. And I guess I'll be one of them :3
I am liking the song David, this would be awesome to have cruising to the beach or something on a sunny day. It is just a great happy song. It make me perk up.Thanks for sharing
Would DEFINITELY pay to see you guys in concert. You're all so talented, and just amazing people. Please, if you can (one day), come to the Netherlands.
I love Fire Fire, and I love this song too! It has such a nice, soothing flow to it. I searched for Fire Fire on iTunes and couldn't find it, so maybe that's why most fans haven't purchased it. I know I'm waiting for it to show up on the next album!
It was weird to go from Fire Fire to this. I love both songs and am looking forward to hearing more wonderful songs be they by just David the entire band or any other members. you are all very talented and this just proves it even more. David I would listen to this while traveling, because I would listen to any SPG or solo song you guys produce. Keep making the world a brighter place, one song at a time!
I can't believe I only discovered this yesterday, especially as I've loved Fire Fire for ages, but I literally cannot stop listening to this and the fact it's not on Spotify makes me want to cry because I can't listen to it on my travels D:
Your songs fill my heart with joy !! :-) You do have a talent that is rare in this world ! Keep love close to your heart.....It will lead you down the right path :-)
I realize I'm a BIT late to the punch, but I was stalking the SPG channel a bit and stumbled upon this, and 500 miles. I am so mad at myself for not discovering your solo work earlier. It's absolutely wonderful, David. It's so calming, and soothing, and I feel happier for having listened to it. This deserves so many more views. Just... wow!
Putting this on my USB drive, so I can listen to it again whilst driving home. Just beautiful. I'm also working on a video short, and this might actually work for the montage piece. Serendipity is a many splendored happenstance :)
this is a amazing song so is a lot of other songs as well i enjoyed the version of fire from your collage recordings as well it should also be posted in youtube and even more cool would be to see it in iTunes as well don't ever stop posting originals and solo tracks it makes your groups music more and more incredible every day
This song is sooo catchy! And it's utterly beautiful! I was singing along to the 'ooo-oo-oo' the first time I heard it, this has just become my new favourite song :D
Uhg fine!
Done.
-David
Is there a video for this? I would love to see one😊❤️
This is the childhood anthem of staring out the backseat window while envisioning some kind of imaginary runner hopping along the landscape as your await your destination.
(Mine was Link riding Epona.)
Oh my god! I used to imagine a runner too! Is that a universal child thing to do? All this time I thought I was weird.
I always think it takes a lot of guts to write a song and decide "And now I'll go ouh ouh ouh ouh for 25 seconds", then write that down, then make it work.
Hehe.
You just gotta dive right in full force and be all like "I am doing this!" Even if Steve Negrete from Steam Powered Giraffe hates it with a passion. XD
Steam Powered Giraffe This made me laugh so hard!! I love you guys, for so many reasons!
Steam Powered Giraffe Remind me to start singing "ouhouhouhouh" at Steve next time I see him. >.>

^ THIS.
Steam Powered Giraffe You guys really help put some of my faith back into music. Thank you for producing songs like this. They are very nice, and this is one of the best bands I've ever heard.
Now this is some good traveling music, not even gonna lie. Kind of like to see it in a road trip movie, or maybe in one about a rebellious runaway youth. Love the song, David!
Or someone trying to get away from their past and to start over.
I just found this song during a UA-cam roaming session...I love it and the late afternoon, sleepy driving passenger feeling it gives. David got what he was aiming for. Beautiful job.
It’s gorgeous
I just found this song and I’m so going to be getting this downloaded to my phone so I can play it when ever I go camping in my truck in the great PNW
Hell yeah dude
David...... I LOVE Fire, Fire. We sing it together all the time, you just don't know~.
Once again David you reveal to us just how astonishing you truly are.
Yeah...I could drive to this. Get on the road and just chase the sun...
Thank you, David. I wish I'd stumbled over this sooner.
Taking out the main vocals and just listening to the background vocals, you get to hear a low relaxed version of David's singing and probably the most high pitched singing I've ever heard him sing. It's quite the experience.
I don't know what's better, that I can match every one of their voices, or that they captured my entire childhood in one song.
Does anyone else have their love of music restored by this band? Like, music is very rarely so orrignial anymore, or at least not in the mainstream media..

Awesome absolutely awesome you guys right the cooliest stuff cant wait for your show in everett
Wow, I love David so much. Even something so simple he can so spectacular.
I'm playing this on my ukulele for sure, C and F are some of the easiest uku chords I know!!! thanks Michael!!!!
As much as I love David's other solo stuff, this one makes me serene like no other. No matter what I'm feeling, if I turn this on, just... instantly relaxed. I don't actually have words for how much I enjoy this song.
I love the fact that he uses he's deeper voice to support hi voice!! Haha cool...perks of being talented ~ :)
One of my favorite songs on my cycling playlists for when i just go an get lost. Nice and relaxing.
Although you may not read this, or completely ignore it-- I just want you to know that I thank you as a band, and you as people for existing. You make the day worth listening to, because I know I pop in my copy of MK-III in my player and just.. relax. It makes the days stress all worth while.
This song reminds me of when I was little and we’d go for Sunday drives out in the country, stopping for ice cream somewhere. Perfection.
Ive heard this song a long while ago. It never gets old. Its soo perfect and comforting.
This is the kind of a song I think of when listening to a radio station. A little on the lesser side of wild but superdy duperdy catchy. Love it!
it’s 2019 and I didn’t know this song existed??? it’s such a brilliant and relaxing song omg!!! ❤️
Ahhhh. Honeybee, Fire Fire and Rolling Hills. Please make more beautiful songs like these dear Bennetts :)
I happen to love this song. It's one of the ones that demands earworm time and that I occasionally wake up with in my head.
I can't believe this song is gonna be up here for a year soon...it feels just like last week it was put up.
oh man i feel ya there
It's like- Nah, UA-cam's wrong, right?
Right?
+SteampunkMaster I completely agree!!
+SteampunkMaster Two years now.
Three.
This song is perfect for you, absolutely one of my favorite songs.
This is simply lovely, it reminds me of family trips when I was younger. Thank you for bringing those memories.
There is an old haunted asylum near where I live called Rolling Hills and for some reason when I read the title I got really excited because I thought maybe you did one of there overnight tour things. I was hoping you were in my area. The song is way better than a video of your visit to a haunted asylum though
Such a gorgeous song
I really love this sound! It makes my heart feel happy and warm, like a late evening in June.
If this ever comes out on iTunes this is going to be my new driving song
Thank you for posting this. I wish I could buy your albums..just too poor..lol. I love the sound of Rabbit in this song too.
This song reminds me of when I'd go visit my relative's cabin. I love it so much.
This is delicious. Is that him singing with himself!? LOVE IT!! A thought on other comments I read: I ADORE David solo and would always enjoy listening to him, but it would absolutely break my heart to see Steam Powered Giraffe end as a group.
madly in love with music Well... then don't give them any ideas, please?
Thank you david, for posting the chord sheet! So useful for us musicians out there. I draw my inspiration from you guys, keep up the good work (writing a song that has the SPG feel).
every time the song finishes, i replay it to listen again. :3
This song has been on loop since I got up this morning. I'm getting some work done on a costume and this is helping me stay focused so much more than normal. Thanks for the great song.
Great job I could not stop listing to it over and over
This is a smilin' song! And very catchy.
David, you are so awesome. Your talent is truly incredible. I am glad you are here on this earth to make it a brighter place. Thank you for being you.
You are wonderful. I appreciate your music in all of its forms. It really has been therapeutic for me and I am forever grateful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Beautiful work! Love the simplicity & sweetness of this one. Makes me think of summery dresses, sunglasses, and the reflection of the scenery in a car's window.
okay, this is the song I've decided to listen to when I can't sleep. It's a really beautiful song
It is wonderful and I would love to have this song play every time I got into my car, and I promise I'd song along each time. Your music is beautiful David, and I dearly love fire fire as well.
Your voice is so beautiful. Simply beautiful.

Really enjoying the acoustic guitar in this. SPG's big full sound is fantastic, but this is also fantastically fantastic.
Fire Fire is one of my favourite SPG-related songs, and I love this too
Man I really needed this right now. A change of music with a favorite artist coming up with a good song.
Just thought you all at SPG should know that the joy and integrity with which you perform your music and shows really comes through. Thanks for sharing your wonderful creativity with us! :) Myself and my whole family are recent and HUGE fans! Cheers!
Just the right song to listen to on the ride home from work. I ride a scooter or motorcycle to work.
This is lovely. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Now I foresee hundreds of fans obsessing over this, instead of your Diamonds cover, going "Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo...." all day long.

I don't know what it is but I absolutely love this.
My first time hearing this. It gives such pretty images to the mind
So relaxing, this is gonna be my new travel tune!~
So beautiful
David, Fire Fire is my favorite song from any member of SPG or any SPG song. I love your solo work, keep at it!
it's really really good i can't get it out of my head now..... well done david
Love this. Makes me wanna go on a long scenic car trip and listen to this. Along with all your other songs. ;)
I love Fire Fire, and I love this song too! It has such a nice, soothing flow to it. I searched for Fire Fire on iTunes and couldn't find it, so maybe that's why most fans haven't purchased it. I know I'm waiting for it to show up on the next album!
Just woke up, and glad I picked this song radomly to listen to. Nice calm music to wake up to as well as road trips. :P
LOVE THIS SONG!
This song has such a peaceful feel to it :)

Love fire fire great song and love this as well
I can't believe I only discovered this yesterday, especially as I've loved Fire Fire for ages, but I literally cannot stop listening to this and the fact it's not on Spotify makes me want to cry because I can't listen to it on my travels D:
I think you figured it out, but it's under David Michael Bennett instead of Steam powered giraffe
Hmm I like this song... It feels like a warm summerbreeze :)
Your songs fill my heart with joy !! :-) You do have a talent that is rare in this world ! Keep love close to your heart.....It will lead you down the right path :-)
This is perfect for just chilling out a bit, got a lovely melody to it =)
Beautiful!
I can confirm that it is actually great music for driving.
You have a fantastic talent sir.
Perfect for a lazy Sunday! Thank you! ^_^
A great song to relax and sleep too adding it to the list on those songs on UA-cam Thanks David! Hope to see this on ITunes soon
FOR THE SHIRE!!
I would definitely buy this on itunes. so amazing!
Always enjoy your creations! This is very smooth and "sing-along-able"!
I'm in love...
Ahh such a lovely song :D
I freaking LOVE this song! ^_^ I'm so glad David made it public!
I realize I'm a BIT late to the punch, but I was stalking the SPG channel a bit and stumbled upon this, and 500 miles. I am so mad at myself for not discovering your solo work earlier. It's absolutely wonderful, David. It's so calming, and soothing, and I feel happier for having listened to it. This deserves so many more views. Just... wow!
I really like this one Mr. DMB. I could definitely see this in a movie or show. The first thing that it brings to mind is an Indie Film.
This has always been one of my favourite old David songs. :3 Lovely to hear this brilliant rerecording.
This song reminds me of my home in West Virginia.
Putting this on my USB drive, so I can listen to it again whilst driving home. Just beautiful. I'm also working on a video short, and this might actually work for the montage piece. Serendipity is a many splendored happenstance :)
this is a amazing song so is a lot of other songs as well i enjoyed the version of fire from your collage recordings as well it should also be posted in youtube and even more cool would be to see it in iTunes as well don't ever stop posting originals and solo tracks it makes your groups music more and more incredible every day
I know its also in the imaginerr program
OMFG! Absolutely amazing, perfect music for the car rides to and fro :D
Good enough to be in a movie or TV show.
I'm glad the engineer-eteers get to have dibs on songs like these!
Awesome.i love it
This is such a wonderful song, I just want to put it in my graduation slide show.
This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing, David.
This song is sooo catchy! And it's utterly beautiful! I was singing along to the 'ooo-oo-oo' the first time I heard it, this has just become my new favourite song :D
I love this. this is awesome.
