They call her Mississippi
But she don't flow to me
Spends her light on the Bayou
But she don't come to see
She's the one that makes my dreams
They call her Mississippi
But she don't flow to me
The shape of her horizon
Makes the morning sun
When she puts her eyes on
Each and anyone
She's the one that makes me fall
Midnight moon shines through it all
She's the one that makes me fall
Midnight moon shines through it all
She's the one that makes my dreams
They call her Mississippi
But she don't flow to me

It’s Woman in Chains and I was going to go to bed but now I need to hear that song.
The guitar reminds me of a Tears for Fears song, the name of which slips my mind at present. "Woman in Chains" possibly? Like both songs. Solid 7 to me.
It's the rolling guitar riff. Quite similar and prominent. I like both tunes.

Great Album, this track stands the test of time. Really well produced too. Funny how a tune takes you to a time and a place. I am back on a United Airways, flying JFK to San Francisco in 2002 and this was my sound track. Long time ago, a very long way away from little England.
RIP Charlie Colin

Love these stories. Thanks.
such a good song for driving, isn’t it?
For a couple of months around 2004/2005, I was working with a buddy in western New York. Each Monday, I would drive from my home in northern New Jersey to his place. I'd head home Friday night. It was about six hours each way.
Before I had an iPhone or MP3 player, I would record Radio Paradise streams to my computer, then burn the captured audio to CD to play in my car during my 6-hour-each-way commutes. This song was one of those songs I'd recorded that instantly takes me back to those times, driving very late at night with few cars on the road.

The bass adds a lot of interest here -- keeps it from being monotonous.
Very nice. Soothing. Instantly likeable.

Perfect tempo. A soft, inexorable drive.

(hey, first comment in 6 years)
Plodding drum beat - c’mon buddy, throw in the occasional fill or roll.
Otherwise pretty good, rated a 6.

I can't remember the last time I saw "CD" in a paragraph three times. Thanks for the flashback!
I like this. This CD is on my list (hey, got 2 kids to put thru college; can't be buying CD's all the time! 
).
I think I will move it to the number 1 spot, so next time I go to get a CD, it will be this one.
And just for the record (groan), I like Drops of Jupiter very much...even if it did get "over-played".

A bit recursive.
That's a 4 year olds interpretation of what he said. What he did say is instead of whining about a song, artist, singer whatever, offer constructive criticism of what it is that doesn't appeal but perhaps some people are just plain incapable of doing that and whining really is the best they can manage.

Saw them live over labor day 2016 weekend. Very fine and entertaining show. Go see them if you can.
There was so much hype around Train when they broke in the UK that I can't shake the feeling of disappointment each time I hear them. Even perfectly decent (if unremarkable) efforts like this one.
Which is a shame, as I understand they are very fine live.

Hate. Hey, it was discussed earlier.
First context. I learned at an early age to distinguish between "I hate this flavour" and "I hate the Nazi military occupation force".
There are people in the world, you use the word 'hate' in the proper context. Norwegians who lived through the WW II occupation by Nazi troops.
The English language easily describes those who don't particularly like the song. A critic maybe? A fucking retard that does not understand the artist? Gee, I dunno? Perhaps.... Not a hater. Music is simply not worth hating.
That way when the US drone attack civilian casualties blow back in the form of attacks on American civilian targets, then the ordinary Americans can better understand the term 'hate'.

Good song. The comments aren't massively encouraging for delving further though. Easy 8 for me.
PS Fred - Are you a programmer? Having a lovely little geeky snigger at the recursive argument. Looked pretty loopy to me too.

Folks who just can't leave it alone and just HAVE to post up some negative commentary about a song that they don't like (or singer whose voice they don't like) just to get under the skin of those that do like it. As if they are somehow better music lovers or more intelligent about music. ...or just plain pompous and full of themselves.
Sadly, you are often a prime member of this set of whiners when it comes to your personal dislikes. On the other hand, you often post GREAT commentary when you are talking about a song and/or band that you like. Perhaps you can engage in a little introspection and learn to be less negative while accentuating the quality commentary that you often post when you have something positive to say. Just a thought.

Bill just said of this song, by way of an introduction: "Here's a song from a band that usually sucks, but not on this occasion." Priceless! IMO, it may not suck, but it's still fairly mediocre.

Slowly Train to nowhere.
I met her... in pascagoula.. she drove at corvette and had a pistol in the glove box!
I never was much for Train, but I always loved this song.
Wow...love it. And that album has to be from like 2000/2001.
Wow. What's She's doing now is just unreal. Thoughts and prayers go out to all those hit by the floods. God Bless you and help you heal.
A great band that's just gotten a little lost of late...but this is beautiful for sure :)
I like it!

Has anyone else heard these guys' song "Hey Soul Sister" about 10 thousand times on commercial? Srsly, I only need to hear the first three notes and its a contest to see if I can change the station before the "heeeyyeeeh." If I don't get there in time, sometimes I throw up in my mouth just a little bit.
This song, however, sounds nothing like that song. Thank the lord.

Lost this album in the big D (and I don't mean Dallas)
This album is another Brendan O'Brien and Nick DiDia production/engineering tag-team effort. Must have something to do with it!

I feel sorry for the guitarist, doing nothing but repeating that stupid chord over and over and over and over. I'd hate to be on tour and be this guy..

Let your freak flag fly, R. The haters can go pound sand.
I really dig this tune. Especially the trumpet.
Reminds me of sitting in a porch swing. But not in a happy way, more like sitting in a porch swing, but not having the energy to swing it: feeling, well, beaten.

I don't hear any samples from 80's hits, bland drum machine beats and over-processed vocals talking about hos and pimps?

WEAK.
that's giving them far too much credit

Ok "Punkbot", and what music might you write?
This is a great song by a band that can miss the mark pretty badly at times, but they have some "epic" moments for a pop band.
OMG...I haven't heard this song in years!! I had the pleasure of seeing train perform in an extremely small setting in El Cerrito, California about 7 years ago. There were only about 150 people there and they were absolutely amazing. I love this song and I love Train!!!

I've heard this criticism before and while I partly agree, I still like this song. There is more to music than technical ability and complexity. That said, I didn't like any other song on this album. Thank god for iTunes.

The bass adds a lot of interest here -- keeps it from being monotonous.
