  • This is the second song from the album In Absentia
    Composer: Steven Wilson.
    All credits go to Porcupine Tree.
    Lyrics:
    Train set and match spied under the blind
    Shiny and contoured the railway winds
    And I've heard the sound from my cousin's bed
    The hiss of the train at the railway head
    Always the summers are slipping away
    A 60 ton angel falls to the earth
    A pile of old metal, a radiant blur
    Scars in the country, the summer and her
    Always the summers are slipping away
    Find me a way for making it stay
    When I hear the engine pass
    I'm kissing you wide
    The hissing subsides
    I'm in luck
    When the evening reaches here
    You're tying me up
    I'm dying of love
    It's OK

    A long time ago I met a girl in my hometown and started to like her, but I figured she didn't like me so I just let it go. Years later we moved to different cities in opposite directions and I started to talk to her again and discovered she's such a wonderful person; that gave me even more reasons to like her and I fell in love, so I stood up and told her. Turns out she liked me too from the beginning, and now it just so happens that we're coming back to our hometown in a holiday, so we arranged for me to pick her up at the train station. I can't wait to hear the engine pass and kiss her wide! This song makes me feel so light and secure about it. Thank you Porcupine Tree for this masterpiece, and thank you Luiza for being such an awesome girl.

    Good anecdote: The teacher asked once what did we talk about when we talked about happiness. And then one student said that happiness is what happens when you go to bed on the hottest night of the summer, a night so hot you can’t even wear a tee-shirt and you sleep on top of the sheets instead of under them, although try to sleep is probably the most accurate. And then at some point late, late, late at night, say just a bit before dawn, the heat finally breaks and the night turns cool and when you briefly wake up, you notice that you’re almost chilly, and in your groggy, half-consciousness, you reach over and pull the sheet around you and just that flimsy sheet makes it warm enough and you drift back off into a deep sleep. And it’s that reaching, that gesture, that reflex we have to pull what’s warm- whether it’s something or someone- towards us, that feeling we get when we do that, that feeling of being safe in the world and ready for sleep, that’s happiness.
    Well to me, this is my metaphorical sheet.

    It's May 2020. Kolkata is unbearably hot, humid and caught in the middle of a country-wide lockdown thanks to COVID-19. There's also the immense damage caused by the cyclone and its ferocious winds. I'm alone, at home, with no one to talk to. As I sit and contemplate, I look back at my life and this song plays in the background. The skies start to darken, in a while the streets outside are deluged by the heavy rains. It couldn't get gloomier. This song is an antidote to everything I'm feeling. For a moment, just for a moment, life feels alright.

    This song gives me such a nostalgic feel is almost painful.

    in my life I had many songs that I called "my new favourite song" but eventually I stopped listening to them and didnt consider them my favourite song anymore. With Trains, it's different. I didn't consider it my favourite song, yet I always found myself coming back for it, no matter if i was feeling happy or sad, I always love listening to it and never grew sick of it. That's how I knew that Trains actually IS my favourite song. Thank you Porcupine Tree for offering me a place I can always return back to.

      @horaceosirian8993 Před 4 lety +3

      You get that King Crimson is Satan, right? Kinda obvious, I know...
      Less obvious is that KC is code for 33
      (K = 11th letter of the alphabet, C = 3rd; 11 x 3 = 33)
      Trust me, I could riff on occult / coded references in Porcupine Tree / Steven Wilson forever, too...I'll give you a single tidbit instead:
      • Lucy in Drive Home is a reference to LUCIFER (burned to death in fiery car wreck...)
      • Lily in The Raven That Refused To Sing is Lilith; Hebrew goddess / demoness, first wife of Adam in Hebrew mythology (Google it) - Satanic icon.
      PS: You get that trains are a common sexual reference, esp in movies, yeah? (Google...). Trains entering tunnels - surely I don't need to elaborate, hrm? (Again, Google). Well, interesting how the rear door or window of the train is lit as if by fire...hrm, I'll leave it to your imagination what that's about (any PT fan will know the loose theme of In Absentia is serial killers and the like...)
      PPS: Have a Cigar, by Floyd, is a refernce to the casting couch in the music industry. Riding the Gravy Train is a very crude reference, to a bunch of men enjoying the body of an attractive, young up and comer willing to sacrifice their body in service to their career, one after the other ("riding a train" on someone).
      "Come in here dear boy" So much sexual double entendre
      "Have a cigar" AKA wrap your lips around _this_
      Which one's pink? Who's the fairy / who's getting a train ridden on 'em
      The name of the game
      We call it riding the gravy train Price of entry: train rides whenever requested

    As someone who absolutely loves trains since childhood, this song feels like poetry cradled on a melody. It teleports me back to my early school days.
    Taking a train to go to granny's, who lived in a town in the Himalayan foothills of India, during my long summer break : buying comics from the book stall at the station for the journey, peeking onto the tracks waiting for the train to approach, staring agog at the engine as it slithered its way into the platform, stepping back out of slight trepidation as the mammoth 60 tonne angel rolled in front of me hissing, hands covering my ears in apprehension should the pilot blow the deafening horn when the locomotive slowly passes just in front of me...With adrenaline soared, eyes lit up and awe still intact, I used to board the coach and comfortably nest on my window seat for the journey to begin. Ah! The joy of having breakfast from the pantry while looking at the delightful countryside scenes of cultivated mustard and sugarcane fields swaying in the wind like the coat of a Yorkshire terrier on the backseat window of a moving car. Being extra careful while handling beverage glasses due to body roll of the coaches at high speeds required some dexterity in that restless age. Trying to count the electric poles flying by the window would make my head swerve like a metalhead at a live concert but only sideways xD Watching the cars from inside when the railway tracks ran parallel to the adjacent road, imagining them to be in some sort of an unspoken race with us, and then being happy for no reason when they couldn't overtake. The smell of sugar and paper mills (none too pleasant by the way, yet much anticipated) wafting through the opened glass windows would herald crossing of the interstate boundary. Just before our destination station there'd be a long curved section of the track. It's so steeply curved that you can easily see the locomotive and the succeeding coaches from the window if you are towards the back. As we passed that, it was time to pack our bags and be ready to deboard in a few minutes with the newly formed hilly skyline awaiting us...
    As I reminisce these visuals almost two decades later in a far-away land with my eyes closed while this song plays on headphones, an overly curious friend nudges me from the side to ask : "what is it that you're listening that's making you smile non-stop for the last 5 minutes?" Totally unaware of it but not wanting to break free from the reverie, I wink and reply with a smile that has now momentarily turned impish from musing, "You won't get it", and proceed to fall back on my cosy sojourn :)

    Lyrics
    Train set and match spied under the blind
    Shiny and contoured the railway winds
    And I've heard the sound from my cousin's bed
    The hiss of the train at the railway head
    Always the summers are slipping away
    60 ton angel falls to the earth
    A pile of old metal, radiant blur
    Scars in the country, summer and her
    Always the summers are slipping away
    Find me a way for making it stay
    When I hear the engine pass, I'm kissing you wide
    The hissing subsides, I'm in luck
    When the evening reaches here you're tying me up
    I'm dying of love, it's okay
    When I hear the engine pass, I'm kissing you wide
    Hissing subsides, I'm in luck
    When the evening reaches here you're tying me up
    I'm dying of love, it's okay
    Always the summers are slipping away
    Find me a way for making it stay
    Always the summers are slipping away
    Always the summers are slipping away

      His voice is often criticized as being lacklustre. I never noticed it myself, I mean he's no Chris Cornell, or Freddie Mercury, sure, but his music is absolutely phenomenal, and I dig his singing.
      The vocal note he hits at the very beginning of Grace For Drowning...amazing.
      The chorus of Open Car, live...incredibly evocative / emotional.

    I only played drums at the time, in 2004 or 2005, and I got this CD as "free promo" in Portland, OR after buying some drumsticks. I played that CD until it didn't work anymore until 2010 in my old toyota previa. This reminds of so much, girlfriends, first love, fear over the future, working towards things that you know will never happen, college, money. Now I have "made it" in a way. I am free and can do whatever I want. I'm having my first kid. Living in my house that I own. Time is strange, but so is human effort and how patience is a thing that people attribute to you after the fact. Getting what you want comes to the most impatient. But patience, I don't know what it is. But here I am. Thank you Porcupine Tree. That's all I can say, what a drunken rant.

    The first time I heard this song was at an art festival. Me and this guy were out for a date, we sat on the bench of this tiny and colourful square and waited for the performer to start. He took his guitar and started playing this song, acoustic version. The guy I was dating kept talking and talking, but I could not hear a single word of what he was saying: the song captivated and mesmerised me in a way very few songs ever did. I haven’t met that guy ever again, but that moment of our date will never be erased from my memory, just because of this song.
