Wrote it on acoustic. I play it much differently live than I do in this version. The tempo is faster and vocals are tighter, needing to be because it's just the guitar and I.
acoustic alternative avan
Avant Garde Adult Alternative mostly Acoustic Rock, or something like that
When I was 16 I purchased a guitar and a piano, started writing what I'd hear in my mind, and have finally had the chance to start recording some of it.

Story behind the song
An observation of society from the ground floor.
Lyrics
Broken Train ________________________ There's a train for the poor, would-be passengers snore 'cause it's never on time... there's a man with no job, his heads in a fog and he doesn't know why... there's a gal at the store, no stamps to buy more don't want her baby to cry... there's a hungry young girl, unaware of the world where the customers dine... ...and day in through day out, our society... ...it happens here all the time...all the time... There's a gimpy ol' man, pigeons all that he had somebody shot 'em in flight... there's a skin-head who's law says it's OK to maul anyone who ain't white... there's a convenience store where the Korean girl's bloods not even dry... there's a cop who's had all he take from the brawl he's ready to cry... ...and day in through day out, our society... ...it happens here all the time...all the time... There's a mom who would pray that her children be saved Lord knows she has tried... there's an innocent man, tongue-tied on the stand he has no alibi... there's a part of our soul with a gigantic hole where we've already died... there's a train for the poor and they'd all come aboard but it never runs...&
