Summary

Originally sung by Vashti Bunyan, this piece is filled with silent contemplations, hopes, and speculations about a daring move to recover a lost love. The train sounds remind the singer of the impending meeting with his/her ex, who might have met another lover. I heard the song initially from a VIBE 105.5 interview with Dulguun and Enkhjin from Mongolia. The next day, when Chris (Monkey Boy) asked me what song would suit for our performance, the piece came to mind. As we didn't have much time to rehearse together for an upcoming performance, I recorded our rehearsal on my phone to listen to later at home so that I can get a framework to refer back to when consulting with him. Though it was our first time singing Train Song, thus flawed in terms of rhythm, harmony between the singers, volume of the guitar, the moments captured here are worth sharing.
