The music begins as one is nodding off to sleep watching the utility poles click past. Your mind is gearing down trying to relax and let go; but as thoughts of the busy day’s activities replay like flicks of a camera, your nervous system quivers with a mild electric jolt.
A clash of symbols drops you into a dreamland [whether consciously or subconsciously] of new adventures and hoped for accomplishments.
You are momentarily thrust back to reality by steel wheels squealing on the metal rails and the rush of escaping steam from the locomotive engine, as the train arrives and then slowly departs the ‘not your stop’ station.
You are lulled back to your illusions by echoing piano & reverberating Hammond organ melodies buoyed by cleverly hidden Subsonics and three methodical bass drum beats which mimic the rhythmic rocking of the train. You could very well be shaping your own Self Fulfilling Prophesy.
Fade to soothing string music and chirpy piano announcing a lush green French countryside and the sound of ‘snoring?’ [at 3:09]. Don’t miss your stop.
Skully's Gare de Montrabe was additional inspiration for this write.
