Waiting For My Train

about

On August 31 the last teaser from Burning Velvet’s sophomore album ’Listen’ will be released. It is the new single ’Waiting For My Train ’, which is inspired by our indecisiveness, uncertainty and inability to find our own way without smartdevices.

’Waiting For My Train ’ is a slowburning blues, with vintage guitar-drive reminiscent of Lou Reed, JJ Cale - you might even hear notes of early Rollling Stones in the riff.

The old blues images of "waiting" and "trains" are set in a contemporary context and used here as a stage setting - Building a bluesy scenario around a common condition where everybody tend to keep their heads&minds in iPads, Wikipedia and Google. Many can’t seem to litterally find their way if they dont have Google maps within reach, or find
answers to simple questions without internet connection. But even in a modern day we have to find our way.

lyrics

Waiting For My Train
by Burning Velvet

Sitting down the railway station
Waiting for my train to come
Looking for my destination
My device won´t find connection
I am swiping with frustration

Sitting down the railway station
Waiting for my train to come

Can´t even read a map
Can´t answer the most fundamental questions
Without searching for the wikinations

Sitting down the railway station
Waiting for my train to come

Slowing down my brain
Killing my sane
Put a halt to my evolution
Jamming my soul
In locked up convolution

Sitting down the railway station
Waiting for my train to come

Sitting down the railway station
Waiting for my train to come
