Comment:

Two of my favorite melancholy-causing sights and sounds: rain and trains. The full title of the mix, which is from the Preacher Boy track, is - We ain't so crazy that we still believe in trains, it just so happens we're the only ones who feel a little better when it rains. To be listened to while riding a train through the rain, or staring out a window at the rain and listening to trains go by.

well, I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison
and I went to pick her up in the rain
but before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
she got runned over by a damned old train
