Minus The Bear ~ Acoustics
CD released on October 7th, 2008 by Suicide Squeeze Records.
The sound of the train rolling along the tracks is so soothing and peaceful. It's almost putting me to sleep. The sound. The movement.
I am on a train. The train moves fast. The train moves slow. It's constantly in travel. From one direction to the next. Taking people home. To work. To see family and friends. It CONNECTS people.
I think I was nodding off a bit - cause suddenly we were not moving, but still moving. But it was now different. We weren't coasting down the tracks - we were floating out on the open water. Suddenly a voice came over the loud speaker. It was a man speaking German - so I wasn't exactly sure what he said. Everyone started to get off the train, so I followed.
We weren't outside though - we were inside. Still moving, but inside. There were trucks, cars, big-rigs, motorcycles and massive storage containers. Everyone funneled through the maze of vehicles and containers to a flight of stairs. Up we went. Winding upwards.
I was soon greeted by restaurants, bars, duty free shops and a massive deck. We were on a boat. A gigantic ferry.
Our train was in the belly.
