The Beep Beep Song
Simone White Lyrics
Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep
go the horns in the cars in the street
we walked away from the lover's leap
opposite directions
synchronised feet
wait wait wait wait wait wait wait
for the time it takes a heart to mend a break
how many moons are reflected in the lake
can you wait forever if time is all it takes
despite all the warnings
I landed like
a fallen star
in your arms
beat beat beat beat beat beat beat
goes my heart on the side of my sleeve
whispering something I can hardly believe
"let me take the lead
cos love is all we need

This song never gets old. I still come back to it when I'm lonely.
Simone White
Awww! That's so sweet

Heard the song once at the Audi ad, after several years the song is still in my head. Love it

I remember listening to this in 2009 from when my sister would listen to it! (Damn I miss old youtube) Years ago, my mind randomly remembered this song and the beautiful vocals. I had been looking for it for YEARS! (no exaggerating by the way!) I been typing beep songs into google every day looking for this. I finally remembered the lyrics "opposite directions synchronized feet" and typed that in and found it! A 7-year search, finally completed!
Simone White
Yayy! I'm so glad you found it! :-))) We've been here all this time waiting. I'm sorry google didn't help, I thought my little song was more famous! :-)) Here's the new version by the way. https://youtu.be/nh7XMX134aU

I think I discovered this song when I was 10? I'm 17 now and listening to this again is very nostalgic. I love this song so much, and it is one of my all time favourites. This is a beautiful gem.
Simone White
aw, that's so sweet. Thank you for listening! :-)

I remember the first time i've listened to this song: 13 years ago through the audi commercial, and i instantly loved it. I think it's because of this song that I'm an asmr addicted nowadays.. I've got tingles since then. And tonight, casually, i'm back under this vid, with great vibes like years ago and I just want to thank you for this lil' great piece of art :) greetings from Italy! ❤
Simone White
Ciao! Thank you for your message. I've often thought would be fun to make asmr videos. My latest instagram post (a video of me setting up a still life photo shoot) has a little bit of accidental asmr feeling I think, very subtle :-)) My IG is @simonewhitemusic

Just few hours ago I sang this song to my boyfriend...
I've never sing for someone before, He said that is one of the tender thing a girl have done for him!
Everyone need somebody to love and be loved ❤
Thank you, Simone, for that
