“It’s not intentional. It’s just the themes, I guess, that hit some of my songs,” he says. “Not all of them, it’s just with these singles — the order of the singles has seen this car theme, but they’re the only car songs on the whole album.”
Keith admits he is definitely a car aficionado, though.
“It’s the first thing, for me, that I was excited to be able to get, my first car,” he recalls, “and most people remember what their first car was. My dad was a car-lover, so I really inherited that. My taste in cars run the gamut of all sort of eclectic things, but it’s trucks, too. I love trucks, cars, everything, and we’ve got some truck songs on the record. But, ‘Somewhere in My Car’ is really, it’s not really about a car so much as it is what happens in the backseat of a car.”
When he’s in the front seat, the Aussie superstar does follow some more serious pursuits, it turns out.
“It’s where I still listen to more music than anywhere, probably, in the car,” he says. “It’s just a great place of sort of coming to terms with everything, you know what I mean? It’s the only quiet place you can get, sometimes, is in the car, as well.”
Next weekend, Keith takes his Raise ‘Em Up tour to Irvine and Mountain View, California.
