about

Not my finest work, but the bones of something are here, I think. Written and recorded pretty much all in two hours today (busy week for all of us, I'm sure).

I wanted to get back to writing something potentially useful for the Bill Stevens/Chaisaray Schenck collaboration we've been working on, and I at least like this retro soul vibe. Lyrics were very rushed, but at least they fit Mitchell's format, I think. I suspect that I'll probably take a crack at completely rewriting the lyrics.

I also wished I'd worked harder at picking a key that would allow me to sing the chorus of this in octaves. I generally like that effect, but unfortunately, there's little to nothing left of my falsetto, so I have to pick keys carefully.

lyrics

Back on the 3:44

cold, can’t even feel anymore

I know I need this, there’s a job to be done

sometimes that New York noise just the barrel of a gun

and I ain’t got the nerve, no more

Close my eyes til Washington town

dream they turned this train back around

last stop in Trenton 
for a smoke on the fly
Watch those southbound trains with a tear in my eye

I know this can’t go on for long

Wheels are in motion
but my fool emotions

getting the best of me

train keep on rolling
Beyond all consoling

all the way to Brooklyn tonight

here, cause I’m in on the uptake
The pain of a Penn Station headache
Do what I got to do, don’t trust these old men
Just to count the days until I see you again
Can’t come too soon

Wheels are in motion

but my fool emotions

getting the best of me

train keep on rolling
Beyond all consoling

all the way to Brooklyn tonight
