These Two Trains

A long ride home
On a cold black night
Two trains on a track
Rolling south and out of sight

The sound of a crossing
Like a promise made
Is drifting in the wind
Just another stop along the way

Pre Chorus:
And the years roll on by
And the night is a veil
And the sun keeps on rising
Along the rails

Chorus:
I hear the thunder
As the snow turns to rain
But the light in the depot
Lays a path for these two trains

Dreaming ’bout Asheville
As the whistle whines
Two trains climb the hills
Rolling through blue mountain pines

How many winters
Like an endless haul
Two trains leave the station
Heading out in a midnight squall

Pre Chorus:
And the years roll on by
And the night is a veil
And the sun keeps on rising
Along the rails

Chorus:
Ev’ry trip is a passage
A turning weather vane
Flying under the stars
Is the shadow of these two trains

Everything sounds really good. The drums, the bass, the guitar and harp,... really good performances, solid mix,... but what's up with the lead vocal? It sounds like it was recorded in the shower. I had to listen a few times to make sure I was hearing that, but it really sticks out.
Almost sounds like you were going for a Tom Waites effect. Other than that I thought it was good.

 

[Fenderville]

Good mix and nice recording but agree with above.. the vox seem a little out of place with the verb..

komposer/Fenderville,

Thanks for listening - very appreciated. Great feedback on the vocal - I'll give it a closer listen.
