about

This song is very obviously inspired by Dave Brubeck’s Take Five, he is a huge inspiration for me and I like to call him “The Gentleman of Jazz”. This piece is part 1 of an aural and visual journey which tries to describe my adventures travelling on the No. 6 Subway Train up and down Manhattan, my futile attempts to stay awake late at night after a gig downtown as i traveled home to Tove’s apartment up on 110th Street. I would ride the train all night, waking up at the Bronx or on the lower east side, never @ my stop.

lyrics

Sleeping on trains, I'd slip away
This place in time, my last resolve
The no. 6 is really quick
I'd ride all night.

Sleeping on trains with a guitar case
I dream of you and a cheap fare
The village awoke @ 6 am
From the last orders of yesterday

Sleeping on Trains as the morning shakes
My eye’s wide all night from the cracked streets and the crippled doors
And who speaks but that little man with no legs and bitten hands
He cares for a dram
and a little peep

Sleeping on trains while the whole carriage are on time
The next light, the last stop
The Village yawned from conditioned air
On the east side of the wrong track
To the low end
I must yield
