Songs inspired by trains and railroads. Trains, more than any other form of transportation I think, let you sit and think to yourself. In planes, one is too separated from the earth and not engaged in their surroundings. Driving in a car is a communal experience, and if you're driving alone, at least a small part of you're energy must be dedicated to paying attention to the road. Sitting and looking out the window of a train connects you to you're journey. Swiftly passing over the land at a constant rate, weaving by the contours of the earth, the traveler has had the opportunity to have an intimate connection with every freeze frame along the way.
