Driving Game (Part 44)

ExtraMedium shared some links said Wed, Oct 26th 2022 at 2:38am ET

If you’re new to the Driving Game, you can just look back at the start of it all here in Part 1 for the full rules.

Please consider the kind folks who maintain our cheat sheet and add your post in the format of “Artist Name - Song Name” followed by a link to the song on the next line. That way they all look the same and it’s easier on the Cheat Sheet team when it’s time to update that list.

Speaking of the Cheat Sheet… The full history of our game, with links to each of the past threads, can be found on the Driving Game Cheat Sheet. Use that to avoid getting vetoed by a duplicate.

Have fun!

- @ircon96 ok. I always loved this. But now I’m definitely sad. Or maybe happy… I re-read the lyrics and I don’t know if she died chasing after Wildfire or if Wildfire died looking for her… At any rate, by this time they’re probably all together again

- @llangley I know what you mean, it used to confuse me as a kid, but after listening to it at least a thousand times, i concluded that he breaks out of his stall during a blizzard & she dies trying to find him.
  
  Murphey says he dreamed the whole song one night & realized it was based on a Native American legend about a ghost horse that his grandfather used to tell when he was a kid. The dream added the woman & the narrator who pines for her.
  
  I’ve always loved this one, too, & it never failed to make me cry as a hopelessly horse-crazy kid. Hell, who am i kidding? Since I never stopped being one, it STILL gets me every time.

  Never have heard a definitive rationale for the name. I do know they have been quoted as saying it was a pretty lame story…

- @chienfou After looking it up, I think the story I heard back in the day was just another theory/rumor. The way I heard it was they had a band with a normal type name. All the same band members except the singer. The original singer was a guy named Ezra and he left the band telling them they were holding him back. They found a new singer, renamed the band, and went on to find great success while the original singer faded into obscurity. I always liked that story, and I’m sad to find that it’s not true, at least based on their wiki info.
