Don Henley - Train In The Distance (Audio)

[@lezlidillon4645]

This song tears at my heartstrings...makes me miss my Grandma soo bad. I would lay in floor of our sharecropper house and listen to the trains every nite with the ol' box fan in my face. Not only am I a Henley solo and Eagles fan, but this album brings out the smells of dirt, sounds of cicadas and a hint of lost loves and growing older.....It makes me homesick for just one more night on the porch with my Mother and Grandparents..all who are in the distance now. I can only hope he explores more down this pathway, I would love to take another walk wherever he may wander.

[@Pookie2807]

The whole CD is a "hats off" to traditional country music yet with just enough "modern" to satisfy millenials. This particular song gives such a feeling, you can almost hear the whistle of that train in the distance. Don Henley is a GENIUS!

[@phillipsalzman398]

Yes, Don is my favorite song writer

[@jerseysucks6158]

Millennials can go suck it! They have no idea who Don Henley is or who the Eagles are. I'm dead on right about that too!!

[@mischr13]

@@jerseysucks6158 I'm a millennial and I'm in a band that covers this song

[@williamirwin7107]

I fell in love with this album, because my grandfather was born and raised in Cass County TX in 1927

[@janethardy3208]

That voice never ceases to amaze me!! I love you Don Henley.

[@gpshaggin77]

Happy Birthday Don Henley

[@travisbaldwin4772]

My Grandfather worked at a one man depot on the same rails Don is singing about (Hughes Springs, TX). 40+ years service for Kansas City Southern.

[@KevinKerwin]

Don lives by old values that will never go out of style. You see others you don't judge others you learn from them.

[@tedrowland1345]

I remember FOLK music and Rock being played on the same radio station. This is as Folk as it gets. Love Don's work. He expresses AMERICANA like no one else today.

[@Bbendfender]

Don has lots of old country blood. I have been waiting for him to make this album. Hopefully this album will correct the direction country music is going today.

[@jesthomp]

+sofarfrome923 Me too. but it is what it is. Every older generation says this.

[@wlverine1]

+jesse thompson You know hes trying to get paid right? He aint changing country. He damn sure aint old school. What choice does he have but to make a country record?

[@timbrown4737]

you are sadly mistaken, wlverine1 or whatever your name is ...................

[@DRiceArizona]

Sadly, it has not corected the direction.

[@MrLittlefeat]

This is the BEST album he's ever put together.

[@fargknob]

This project is awesome Sir. We're about the same age, and I'm so greatful your still doing "real music". Thanks and God bless you

[@Jewels122003]

I'm surprised when the " message" hits me, I should know it's coming. He gives a little gift in every song. Genius.

[@brianboisguilbert6985]

Whoa, GREAT album, word of mouth is why I'm here. Like comin' home. been awhile since I heard any new Country worthy enough to be called Country. Thanks Don.

[@CatherineSTodd]

Love it. Americana. Sounds of steel guitar and all the other instruments and voices in beautiful harmony. Wonderful lyrics, too.

[@CatherineSTodd]

"You can ride that train to the far end of creation Away from everything and everyone you know You better make friends with your angels and your demons They will be riding with you wherever you may go But, you have to go There's a train in the distance There's a whistle calling There's a train in the distance Autumn leaves are falling"

[@davepomeroy5144]

I am honored to be so anointed by another music lover who is able to appreciate Don Henley's stunning artistry. My latest inspiration from the singing drummer from Texas is his "wedding song" on the "Inside Job" CD, especially the final verse in which he assesses the likelihood of a marriage working out. Thanks for truly making my day, Catherine S. Todd, by God.@@CatherineSTodd

Hey Don, please, never stop writing such brilliant songs. I could listen to your vocals for hours on end. Been a fan for decades, from John, Wirral, England

[@plantium1000]

I love this train song. I get it! Promises to keep" Love the sound of the train, 388 Barnett street, railroad rite behind our town homes with 4 units in Columbus, Ohio.. I love you Lucinda and Don for this song.

[@halbunner9833]

[@sailingsam3815]

This should be released as a single.

[@meic8636]

It is a beautiful song about childhood and grown up. Summer nights at Gran-ma’s house Cozy in my bed Dreams of far-off places And other lives to be led Swirling in my head Swirling in my head And there’s a train in the distance There’s a whistle calling There’s a train in the distance Silver moonlight falling Now I am a grown man Turning in my sleep Debts and obligations Family ties run deep Promises to keep Promises to keep....... Love the lyrics, poignant. Thanks Don ❤️

[@hwkfn69rocks68]

Don Henley getting back to his roots displaying his talents to the extreme, I love it!

[@kaydensrailway5594]

This song reminds me of the state of Thomas the Tank Engine, the show that made me a train enthusiast. The characters were lovely and the scenery was beautiful, making the railway seem like a magic place. But today, due to rebranding, Thomas has become a shadow of its former self. But I hope for the future, that Thomas will rediscover its roots, allowing children worldwide to experience the Train in The Distance once more! Thank you Don and Lucinda for this lovely song to keep me going through times like these!

[@williammillard4428]

This song brings back so many memories for me, Luckily i can still hear this at Lake James,sometimes,At Northfork there at the old Trestle at the wee hours of around 2 to 4 in the am. morning hrs,me an the dogs are in my camper and actually hear the train in the distance,and my memories go back to when i put Quarter's and penny's on the track behind my Dad's barber Shop in Forest City of the old Sea Board Line that ran through then, and could hear the train behind my house at the time as well. Even back then i would be on the track's for hours walking in one rail,Keeping my balance for as long as i could before finally falling off the one rail!, Now sadly' i believe its unlawful to even be on or around the rail road track's at all. Ha' wish i knew how many football field's i envisioned' that i went without falling back then on the ol' Sea Board Line! Thanks Don Henley, for this Awesome Song. By the way, The WHOLE Cd is Great, too!

[@arthurhunt642]

This song is awesome! It also sounds a lot like Jacob Dylan.

[@randyschiffer3265]

When it starts, I immediatley thought of John Fogarty. Henleys alot like James Taylor when it comes to recording, if they don't have anything to say they don't.................but when they do, it goes to #1.

When I was a young boy Roamin' on the railroad tracks Put copper pennies on the rails Locomotive come and squash 'em flat We'd run to fetch 'em back We'd run to fetch 'em back Summer nights at Gran-ma's house Cozy in my bed Dreams of far-off places and other lives to be led Swirling in my head Swirling in my head And there's a train in the distance There's a whistle calling There's a train in the distance Silver moonlight falling Now I am a grown man Turning in my sleep Debts and obligations Family ties run deep Promises to keep Promises to keep But there's a train in the distance There's a whistle calling There's a train in the distance There's a light rain falling You can ride that train to the far end of creation Away from everything and everyone you know You better make friends with your angels and your demons They will be riding with you wherever you, may go But, you have to go There's a train in the distance There's a whistle calling There's a train in the distance Autumn leaves are falling Written by Don Henley, Stanley Lynch • Copyright © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc, Universal Music Publishing Group

It's hard to listen to this song as it sounds exactly like the Charlie Daniels song Long Haired Country Boy.

[@cinnamon1089]

+Apio song says to me - set yourself free - jump on that train - travel the world . don't be a slave.other lives to be led, the old world is gone.materiel world is a trap. get with the spiritual, know your demons, free your soul , mind & body . live in the moment live in the now - live for the now. most of all live free, Autumn = end of a cycle, get out while life is still in your body & time -

This album has been marketed very well, but I must say I am a feeling a lot let down by it. I am sorry Don but it sounds to commercial for me - you can do way better then this, you need to find your mojo again:-(

[@robertleeproudfootjr1291]

+Faith Matthews I agree with that overall, but there are a few songs that I think break that mold, this being one of them... Hes still gotta make money. I think he'll be like joe Nichols in that most of his songs are commercial but he'll throw in a few for the more traditional folks...if he makes another album.
