Jovial Taxi is a five-piece band originating from the lively streets of Melbourne, Australia. The band was formed during a chance meeting in a taxi in 2014, where the members discovered their shared love for music. The cab ride, filled with laughter and lighthearted banter, became the inspiration for their band name. Initially playing gigs at local pubs and music festivals, the band’s unique sound quickly garnered attention, and they were signed to indie record label, Soundwave Records, in 2017.
Jovial Taxi’s journey has been a whirlwind, finding success both locally and internationally. They have spent the last few years touring and sharing their music with the world.

4. Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Underneath the city lights, another night is awakening,
In a taxi, feeling free, chasing dreams, we’re undertaking.
Laughter echoes, stories flow, as the streets keep on rolling,
This is our journey, come with us, into the dawn we’re strolling.
(Chorus)
We’re just riding on a melody, in our jovial taxi,
Through the rhythm of the city, where our dreams are fancy.
With the world as our stage, and the night as our canvas,
In our jovial taxi, let’s find what’s endless.
(Verse 2)
Every corner, every turn, brings us closer to the unseen,
In this taxi, we learn, of love, life and what could have been.
Through the rearview mirror, the past fades, yet it’s not regretting,
As we move forward, we find, it’s a life worth betting.
(Chorus)
We’re just riding on a melody, in our jovial taxi,
Through the voice of the city, where our hearts are busy.
With the stars as our guide, and the moon as our compass,
In our jovial taxi, we find what’s boundless.
(Bridge)
In this jovial ride, we found music, we found life,
In the shared smiles, in the shared strife.
We learn to dance, we learn to fly,
In our jovial taxi, under the wide-open sky.
(Chorus)
We’re just riding on a melody, in our jovial taxi,
Through the harmony of the city, where we’re young and dizzy.
With the universe as our song, and the night as our chorus,
In our jovial taxi, let’s find what’s wondrous.
