Grand by name and grand by nature, the near six minute opener Trans-Slambovian BiPolar Express, positively steams along on rails of bottleneck, surging organ and rhythm guitar and the clackety-clack of the drums. Its title and Joziah Longo's urgent vocals offer the first signs of a greater purpose in the songwriting...
lyrics
I had a dream last night and it held me in it's arms
i rode a train of light and it kept me safe from harm, it whispered
"Oh, my love, oh my child, oh my dream,
I will give you the light if you just give me the means
on the Trans-Slambovian BiPolar Express..."
And then that train rolled on into the fears I know too well
To where my demons fly, yeah it rode right into hell
And then that light shone out and that whistle blew
And that great voice cried out, “Hey I’ve come for you!”
Get on the Trans-Slambovian Bi-Polar Express
We’re on the Trans-Slambovian Bi-Polar Express
Some great love shot right through me,
Untangled all those fears
It acted like it always knew me, It said,
“Oh my child I’m always here”
And then I awoke into this world that we live in
It all seemed a joke, and its logic wearing thin, So I said,
“Hey come back, let’s make it end and let’s begin
And if you help me out I will help you in”

Get on the Trans-Slambovian Bi-Polar Express

i like this version better than the original. The middle part has that aggression that makes the excellent balance with the beginning and ending of the song. owlobo
The slashing roots rock on “Out On the Line” always makes its way to the kind of triumphant chorus that quickens the pulse. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2023
