Please.

I will send, a subway sandwich, good kona coffee, a bundle of scarves and a used bissel

Please play Train Song

I prefer Dirt but train song is a good one too

MSG is directly above a train station so it is possible.

Train Song

All the way home we felt we had a chance
To review the coulds before we were born
And to invite a new game of can'ts

Absorbed in the clouds a voice from afar said
"With the right device you can make a pattern grow
Or you can tune up your car"

So we stayed on the train admiring the time
As the lights of the city drew near
We drank a little wine

They were blurry and green outer space in between
With a depth and a form unclear
Then we saw it up ahead

A flickering lantern lit up on the tracks
In the rugs that had covered up the bridge
From the banks of a river to the bed
Of the valley upstream to the place we live

The glass on the lantern cast back the sight
Of a drive-in movie we drove by below
We saw where we'd been in the pictures within
Projecting all the places we would go
So we follow the scene and flowed up your steps
To a smooth wooden floor in a trance
The train whistle melody woved through the trees
And in through the door to signal the turns of a dance

I want one on NYE

@poonutties - The lyrics to Train Song always reminded me of something you'd expect to find on The Story of the Ghost album (think Roggae, Shafty, Fikus, Frankie Says). Also a fan of the tune.

@Thunder, I am huge fan of strange design and I'd consider myself a "page guy" always ready for Lawnbo; but Guyute is unbelievable and may be one of Phish's very best songs imo, I just listened to GTE were Trwy got a new guitar with an ocelot on it from Paul perhaps the sixth guitar? Idk and shaky on the facts but dude, the guitar screams and its so powerful. Love it.

Train song huh, just thinking bout NYE.

Bring back Glide as well.

We've all had that moment doing something while listening to Phish and the song or jam fits exactly perfectly right in with what we were doing.

That happened to me one night on the Oregon coast, with Train Song. My friend and I took the day off to go to the beach and were driving back at night towards Portland via 101. Train Song came on as we drew close to Astoria, at the mouth of the Columbia River:

All the way home we felt we had a chance
To review the coulds before we were born
And to invite a new game of can'ts

Absorbed in the clouds a voice from afar said
"With the right device you can make a pattern grow
Or you can tune up your car

So far, so good. Great day at the coast, spiritual freedom, we're driving...

So we stayed on the train admiring the time
As the lights of the city drew near
We drank a little wine

The lights of the city were the lights of Astoria across the water at night. We'd had a few microbrews and smoked a bit earlier that afternoon, and were pleasantly blissed and mellow.

They were blurry and green outer space in between
With a depth and a form unclear
Then we saw it up ahead

A flickering lantern lit up on the tracks
In the rugs that had covered up the bridge
From the banks of a river to the bed
Of the valley upstream to the place we live

We crossed the bridge over the bay and entered Astoria, then headed upstream on the Columbia towards home.

The glass on the lantern cast back the sight
Of a drive-in movie we drove by below
We saw where we'd been in the pictures within
Projecting all the places we would go
So we follow the scene and flowed up your steps
To a smooth wooden floor in a trance
The train whistle melody woved through the trees
And in through the door to signal the turns of a dance

Tell me those aren't some of Phish's best lyrics. What a way to glide home after a fantastic day outside.

Thanks for letting me get all personal. Train Song is one of my favorites and the timing of that song on that trip couldn't have been better. I still remember how my friend and I just drove without speaking, listening to the song and looking out the windows as though the world were being born anew, and just for us.

@Thunder, that's odd, I tried to quote ya then comment but couldn't, was just going to say that your comment had good information and an interesting point of view. I'm learning yet, I can differentiate songs but as far as "composed pieces" and why they are better suited for orchestra I'm lost. GTE at my first show ever really really did it for me man, whole show was transcendental but the Guyute was top shelf. But again thank you for clarification and the good info

* and If I Could came back this year.

What @momadan said

Been chasing it. Please please play it

My buddy who died this past year loved this song and the first show we attended together, 6/10/09, we heard it. Great song, love to hear it. His last show was MSG NYE last year as well. Not to be a downer, but if they play it at MSG, I will definitely be thinking about him.

I have A LOT of trouble not singing "you can tune a guitar" instead of "you can tune up your car". Not sure why.

The guitar line does fit if you look at it.

so glad this tune is getting the love it deserves.

I am one of the few of my friends calling for it..........

im pretty sure the indio acoustic was my only one.

MSG the 30th second set sounds about right.

This song is one of my favorites to mess around with on the guitar. If any of you play guitar, check out these tabs because it sounds harder than it is...
