Not sure, really, how I found this song on the big, open internets, but I sure wanted to share it with the gang. Listening to it for the second time as I type, and I must say I'm not sure what to think of it. But, thought someone here might get a kick out of this song dedicated to Magnum. Enjoy.

It's a nice song. It's catchy and simple. A little "Fanboy-ish", but that may come from it's more traditionally earnest chord structure. This is a romantic and honest kind of setup for a song. It can be hard to differentiate between fun and earnestness sometimes with songs. With that one, rather cautious, reservation in mind, I like it.

Well put Klover. I think you expressed what I was feeling when I first listened to that tune. Glad you had some fun with it.

Great find, BWheelz54! I'd love to know the background behind the lyrics. It seems like the writer is a troubled or confused young man/teen who has written this song speaking to his father. He compares his father to TM in such an interesting & cryptic way. I'm sure the writer in you must conjure up multiple scenarios that could explain the lyrics!
