In this episode of #TheDailyDoug, I'm reacting to Trains by Porcupine Tree. I'm at the piano this time, discussing some of the analysis points I'm listening for.

I didn't discuss the lyrics at all in this video, as I was concentrating on the harmonic structure. Now that I have read them and heard the song, the "melancholy" section I noted makes perfect sense. The writer is reminiscing of a summer love, brought in and out by train. I live near a major train line, and I often wonder about the people whisking by, who they are, and where they are headed. Great song!
