Little Train

***UPDATE: THANK YOU YOUTUBE for fixing the Audio Swap.

Found a gem of a song in YouTube's Audio Swap feature that seemed to fit some train footage quite nicely. I have no connection to the band and never heard this song until I found it in Audio Swap.

Song: "Little Train" by the Vancouver, B.C. (that's in Canada, eh?) band Lotus, written by Feona Lim, on the Rumblefish records album Better Day. www.myspace.com/lotusbc

Video: BillyBughead's commute home on the Purple Line Express 'L' train from Belmont to Howard, Chicago, Illinois, during the blizzard on the evening of Monday, January 12th, 2009. (video sped up to fit length of song)

I found this song the same way. I had a slideshow from a train museum I visited but the original music was muted by contentid, so to avoid conflict I tried the audioswap after years of hating it but this song is truly gorgeous! I'm still waiting for the audio to change on my vid but it's so pretty. Great video also!!! It was like I was really riding the train

@wisteria2909 Cool! I even let the band know about my vid, and they said it was great to get the exposure. You might need to contact YouTube if the audioswap doesn't work. I find that whenever I use it, it doesn't work right away, so all my subscribers watch the video right away with no sound, and never watch it again lol Not a problem anymore since all my subscribers have left YouTube lol

Very nice video and music! Bravo. It

reminds me of when I was a kid in NYC and I used to love to look out the windows of 1st and last cars on the subway.

Thanks, glad you liked it! :-)

I have no idea how I stumbled across this video, but I'm glad I did! Beautiful video! The music fits in perfectly :)

[BillyBughead]

Thanks, glad you like it! :-) I checked out your channel, and since you're into GW, that's gotta be the connection...you followed some of my GW stuff, and this must have been one of those "more stuff from the same guy" videos. LOL I wonder what would happen if I went to Lion's Arch and shouted "free gift of the traveler to the next 20 people who subscribe to my YouTube channel!"

Thanks, glad you liked it.

It's Chicago, famous for it's "L". I was going to a different area than I usually go, and was on a train thart runs express to Chicago/Evanston border...and happened to have a seat right in the back, so I held onto a handle with one hand and the camera with another and shot out the back window.

Gotta get you back in the video game. Just post for fun and don't worry if few people watch. YouTube's like that these days for everyone.

This is a nice video, and the song fits it very well. I wish I was stilll making videos, but I gave up. What EL is this? The only city that I know with an EL is NYC.
