Here's a little ditty about a song writer going nowhere........hmm who could that be? https://soundcloud.com/captainmoto/slow-train-to-nowhereThe Band: As usual, I used BIAB for Bass & Drums. Bass -2421 Bass, Acoustic, RockabillySlapBoomChicka Drums - RealDrums=BoomChickaEv16^07-a Rods, Train, b Simple Kick, Snare Acoustic Guitar - Captain Moto Electric Guitar - Captain Moto Vocals - Captain Moto Recorded and mixed in Studio One 5 Pro Here's the Lyrics: Headed down to the rail road station, Get me a ticket out of town I don't care where the train is headed, This old place is hold'n me down I got a pencil in my pocket, Note book full of songs On a slow train to nowhere, I'll be mov'n on I'll be dragg'n one piece of luggage, Carry'n my guitar Aint got much money, won't be eat'n in the dining car I keep a pencil in my pocket, Note book full of songs On a slow train to nowhere, I'll be mov'n on On a slow train, to nowhere, I'll be writ'n songs Don't know where I'm go'n, Hope I don't get lost Oh baby L.A. didn't want me, Phoenix Pass'n through Lost my luck in Vegas, & Memphis gave me the blues Oh I'm sit'n all alone, Music on my mind And the rain keeps roll'n futher down the line Keep a pencil in my pocket, Note book full of songs On a slow train to nowhere, I'll be mov'n on ~Guitar Solo~ While the train keeps rock'n, I'll be writ'n , One more travel'n song Ain't got nobody sitt'n by my side, My only friend is the songs I write Some day I'll make it, no more rambl'n on On a slow train to nowhere, I'll be move'n on..........Ooooo End

Hi Captain,
I enjoyed this song and particularly liked the very effective and hypnotic train beat.
Well done.
Best Regards
Nigel

I heard the opening bass, reached out, grabbed the caboose and climbed aboard. What a great ride, Moto. Man, you are good at these blues. You are the kind of talent I'd stand in line to see. If you're going Nowhere, well, I live right in the middle of Nowhere, so if you're ever out this way, let's play.

Very interesting look at it. As this slow train got rolling on, I could hear the man in black.... Johnny Cash doing this back in the day. It's got his classic vibe oozing out of every note.

Hi Moto Man ...
What a great song and your delivery is spot on. I agree with Herb about the Johnny Cash reference. This is one of my very favorites in quite some time! Super sweet! Tip of the hat for a job extremely well done.
Alan

Nigel Thanks for giving it a listen. Trains are always good for song writers. I heard the opening bass, reached out, grabbed the caboose and climbed aboard. What a great ride, Moto. Man, you are good at these blues. You are the kind of talent I'd stand in line to see. If you're going Nowhere, well, I live right in the middle of Nowhere, so if you're ever out this way, let's play. Hey Marty, Welcome aboard, Glad you enjoyed the ride. You're way to kind with your comments. Thanks Very interesting look at it. As this slow train got rolling on, I could hear the man in black.... Johnny Cash doing this back in the day. It's got his classic vibe oozing out of every note. Wish I had the man's voice. Thanks for making your observation. A & D, Thanks for the kind words. Nice to know I'm pleasing a few people, someday, I'm gonna make it ...ha ha Very cool groove. Definitely channeling Mr Cash. Super vocal and lyric. Excellent backtrack and production. Well done Thank you Scott, After I finished this, I thought DAMN..wish I could sing like JC.

Cap’n:
Wow, what great vibe you have going on here . . .a toe-tapper with lots of atmosphere. Really like the prosody; that is, the beat and melody are almost familiar but your vocal delivery, delayed and disjointed in spots, gives it it’s own being—yeah, that’s perhaps an odd way to express it, but what I simply mean to say is that it’s fresh, unique and a hell of a good song! Outstanding!
All my best to you,
Deej

Avery cool sound that chugs along well.
I did find that my brain expected certain phrasing for the vocal melody in various parts and that kept distracting me..my problem.

Loved the writing in this song. I think it could have done in a variety of ways and tempos and still come out very well. I agree with everyone about having that Johnny Cash feel, and man that's a hard one to beat. Thanks for the post, it was a good listen.

Thanks Deej, It's obvious I'm not a top notch vocalist, just try'n to put words to music. The vocal approach was deliberate, didn't want a humdrum, same ole song feel, even thought in many ways it is. Avery cool sound that chugs along well.
I did find that my brain expected certain phrasing for the vocal melody in various parts and that kept distracting me..my problem.
Thanks, I'm sure your brain is just fine, I was just tossing a few curveballs.

moto, you have another winner in this one
I agree with the Johnny Cash statements
Like Marty I would stand in line to see you preform.
Super groove for a train song.
Loved it.
