I'm going on a train ride today and I'm so excited. I suspect I love trains because I grew up with a mother who used to work for the New York Central railroad and a father who was/is a train enthusiast, to say the least.
If I was patient enough to burn, download, whatever, I'd have to include the following songs in my train mix:
Off the Rails by the Notwist
Pilot by the Notwist
Yeah, Neon Golden is actually the only cd I own
Midnight Train to Georgia Gladys Knight and the Pips
Downtown Train by Tom Waits
Take the A Train Duke Ellington or any version
The first four are some of my all time favorite songs. The fifth is included cause it's a cool and obvious choice.
How 'bout you? Any train, car, plane or maybe hot air balloon songs?
Peace Out
wouldn't it be nice if mine weren't parked in the snow?
yikes
