The Sim Redmond Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's blowing sweet sweet tunes from that smokestack
We're gonna hop on
No need to come back child
We're gonna fly fly fly on down that track
You gonna pick me up off the ground
Where the sun sets on the ocean
We're gonna ride on down that line
Because this here train's gonna show me you feel fine
I heard a train coming down that track
It's blowing sweet sweet tunes from that smokestack
We're gonna hop on
No need to come back child
We're gonna fly fly fly on down that track
Now this train it ain't got no wheels
It's just an engine that's running on the love we feel
And this body it ain't made of steel
It's made from music from the soul that keeps you whole and real
I heard a train coming down that track
It's blowing sweet sweet tunes from that smokestack
We're gonna hop on
No need to come back child
We're gonna fly fly fly on down that track
Heaven is a place without a trace of side goodbyes
And this train is headed straight for the sky
Heaven is a place without a trace of side goodbyes
This here train is headed straight for the sky
I heard a train coming down that track
It's blowing sweet sweet tunes from that smokestack
We're gonna hop on
No need to come back child
We're gonna fly fly fly on down that track
The Sim Redmond Band's "Train Song" is a lively, upbeat tune that speaks of the freedom and joy that can come from letting go and allowing oneself to be swept away by the power of music and love. The lyrics describe the singer hearing a train coming down the track and being drawn to its sweet sounds and promises of adventure. The train is more than just a mode of transportation, it represents a journey towards a better, happier place, where goodbyes are unnecessary and joy awaits.
The song suggests that the train is powered not by coal or oil, but by love and music, which are powerful enough to propel it towards the sky. The lyrics use imagery of the sun setting over the ocean and the train's smokestack blowing sweet tunes to create a sense of the joy and excitement of the journey. The train becomes a metaphor for the transformative power of music and love, which can lift one's spirit and carry them away from the troubles of the world.
Overall, "Train Song" is a celebration of the power of music to bring people together and lift their spirits, and an invitation to trust in the journey towards happiness and freedom.
