Steve Winwood - Night Train

A song and showcase of Steve Winwood's many talents from his 1980 Album "Arc Of A diver"

-The Album was nearly a complete solo effort. Winwood wrote and arranged all the music, played all the instruments, and handled all production and engineering duties. He even recorded it in a studio he built on the grounds of his home in England.

-The album was released on December 31,1980 and performed entirely by Winwood.

-Lyrics written by Will Jennings

Out of the night burning with light
Train shining black, I won't look back, life is running
Hoping some day someone will say I got it made
Pull up the shade, let the sun in

Down on the night train, I feel the starlight steal away
Use up a lifetime looking for the break of day

Border patrol looking through me
Towns without names all look the same, I hear crying
Paris to Spain, countries in pain
Caught up in flight, feeling the sight, Europe dying

Rolling on, hear the wheels singing, fever keep coming on so strong
My ticket paid, trying to fade
I hope I get there not just somewhere I was leaving
Out in the dark all the wolves bark
I fold my arms try to keep warm by believing

Hard rain following on, cold wheels moving on
Everybody they're so alone down on the night train

Joined UTube just to reply.

Steve multitracked an album in the late '60's (which I still have, covered in beer and other stains) called "John Barleycorn Must Die". He played all instruments, and I loved it. Lived my life to "See a Chance" in the early '80's, and deeply appreciated "High Life Again" in the '90's. He's now a hugely accomplished musician, and one of my favourites over the (now 5) decades of listening. You're right to take notice of this musical legacy.

Absolute effing genius!

His basswork blows the doors off, then the guitar solo. He was channeling the frickin' gods!
