From A Late Night Train

This song evokes such a universal feeling about loss, thought I'd share...

YouTube - THE BLUE NILE B2 From A Late Night Train

From A Late Night Train

From a late night train
Reflected in the water
When all the rainy pavements
Lead to you
It's over now
I know it's over
But I can't let go

The cigarettes, the magazines
All stacked up in the rain
There doesn't seem to be a funny side
It's over now
I know it's over
But I can't let go

From a late night train
The little towns go rolling by
And people in the station
Going home
It's over now
I know it's over
But I love you so

Such a melancholy and stirring song. Thanks for sharing, FP. I like to listen to all kinds of music.

Gentle hugs from Kansas.

Hope you don't mind me posting this, FP. One of my favorites blues songs/artist.

Here's another fantastic song, this time by Bob Dylan off his album Love And Theft... I can't find it on Youtube, but the lyrics are great to read...

Sugar Baby

I got my back to the sun ’cause the light is too intense
I can see what everybody in the world is up against
You can’t turn back—you can’t come back, sometimes we push too far
One day you’ll open up your eyes and you’ll see where we are

Sugar Baby get on down the road
You ain’t got no brains, no how
You went years without me
Might as well keep going now

Some of these bootleggers, they make pretty good stuff
Plenty of places to hide things here if you wanna hide ’em bad enough
I’m staying with Aunt Sally, but you know, she’s not really my aunt
Some of these memories you can learn to live with and some of them you can’t

Sugar Baby get on down the line
You ain’t got no brains, no how
You went years without me
You might as well keep going now

The ladies down in Darktown, they’re doing the Darktown Strut
You always got to be prepared but you never know for what
There ain’t no limit to the amount of trouble women bring
Love is pleasing, love is teasing, love’s not an evil thing

Sugar Baby, get on down the road
You ain’t got no brains, no how
You went years without me
You might as well keep going now

Every moment of existence seems like some dirty trick
Happiness can come suddenly and leave just as quick
Any minute of the day the bubble could burst
Try to make things better for someone, sometimes, you just end up making it a thousand times worse

Sugar Baby, get on down the road
You ain’t got no brains, no how
You went years without me
Might as well keep going now

Your charms have broken many a heart and mine is surely one
You got a way of tearing the world apart. Love, see what you done
Just as sure as we’re living, just as sure as you’re born
Look up, look up—seek your Maker—’fore Gabriel blows his horn

Sugar Baby, get on down the line
You ain’t got no sense, no how
You went years without me
Might as well keep going now

I can't hear this song without thinking about...

...the best man at my wedding and my best friend since 13, now dead from the affects of drugs and alcohol. His 46th birthday would have been Thursday.

YouTube - ULTIMATE EAGLES - Desperado

I'm not a huge Eagles fan but this song is something else.

"Desperado" and "Turn the Page" are both on my top 10 best of all times list.

Thanks and God bless us all,
Coyote

agreed coyote,
and everytime i see this thread i think of that
"midnight train to georgia"
then the almighty ray charles singing,
"georgia on my mind"

freedom,
b.b. king is one of my favorites, he and lucille can really play emotions together.
