Track-“ Black Likorice Train()”
I was into trains as a kid with train track toys. Going To Downtown Cincinnati watching, taking pictures and involved with the Seasonal toy train displays. Then there was me leaving church service to play for a few years not only the jungle gym and snack store but I’d sneak to watch the big trains when I’d hear them from the playground or just noticing alone. Yeah my name is Thomas Though it was a thing at school to call me a train only in my short lived imagination. Riding on a trains a common thing, not as common as older times though I’ve had my share. Lastly my Step Father, sung A Train Song “There’s A Train Bound For Bueller” That had me Interested for years. Outside of life, and ppl, there was entertainment about trains I always had liked.
The Black Likorice part is an admirable thing about my father Rip. He liked black licorice when I was a kid, and I never did get it, he was always a mystery to me. He was in His 50’s When He Made me. Believe it or not I still catch on to things he said, and some things I’m not, if I’ll ever get. His, My Dad His Dad Was Named James , & James he was a coal miner in W.V where it’s more than likely the coal was also manufactured for trains. I also figure this because he had carved a train out of Harden coal that my Uncle G. Had before he died. The piece was one of my toys as a child.
Earlier Versions of the track had lyrics That Depicted the truth-a train to get home. What it, means to wait A very long time for your desires & needs. Yeah, I’m still waiting on that train.
The topic about the train the lyrics became too much to bear at the time and just personal and too Covered by metaphor make up of my wounds. The Instrumental That I did was in my spirit and I started playing the guitar like a train Chugga Chugga Choo I transposed to sound. I went the extra mile for the meaning of that long track to try to invoke my desires.
Not to over exaggerated but lastly, it’s been so long. I’m wondering if that trains still running.
