"Sun Come Undone" was released on March 13, 2007 on Birdnote Records.
Guitarist Casey Harvey had been pestering Rachel Tracy about forming a band for years. She finally relented in the summer of 2005, agreeing to play bass, and they recruited vocalist/guitarist Anna Conner during a pickup baseball game and drummer Matt Davis shortly thereafter. Having cut their teeth in the formative Baltimore all-ages indie scene of the mid-nineties, they were itching to make meaningful music again. Several practice sessions in, they realized there was real chemistry and Thrushes was born.
Current Members

Ghost Train
Thrushes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The world is dull and grey
Come on, let me show you
Something bright and new
The lyrics to Thrushes song "Ghost Train" reflect a sense of melancholy and disillusionment with the world. The opening lines "Let's go out tonight, the world is dull and grey" suggest a desire to escape the monotony of everyday life and find something more exciting. The use of contrast between "dull and grey" and "something bright and new" further emphasizes this longing for change.
The title of the song, "Ghost Train," adds to the overall feeling of sadness and nostalgia. The image of a ghost train suggests a journey into the unknown, which can be both thrilling and frightening. The lines "Come on, let me show you" demonstrate a desire to share this experience with someone else, perhaps as a way of finding connection and meaning in a world that feels empty.
