Train


Remember the train in Dr. Zhivago? Cold, dark, threatening. How different than our nostalgic view especially reflected in popular music. I am starting a playlist with trains as the theme.
(any thoughts as to Classical's seemingly empty references?)

I like the Holly Cole cover of "Train Song", but I think the live version from her "Best of" album is even better than the studio version. Check it out......

There is also a great acoustic version on his album - "The Acoustic Adrian Belew", but I couldn't find it on youtube.
