ELO: Twilight

NHK reports that gasoline prices went up 10 yen today to 170-180 yen per liter. That's over $6 per gallon.

And that kind of reminded me of Twilight, the ELO song that I liked a lot back in the 1970s.

Lyrics by Jeff Lynne:

Just on the border of your waking mind
There lies... Another time
Where darkness & light are one
And as you tread the halls of sanity
You feel so glad to be
Unable to go beyond
I have a message
From another time...




You brought me here, but can you take me back...?

Last Train to London is pretty good too! Any suggestions for more songs about trains? Do leave a comment!

Well, how about Wreck of the Old 97 as sung by Johnny Cash? or Glenn Miller's Chattanooga Choo Choofrom the hey day of American passenger rail ...
and then there's the great Arlo Guthrie's City of New Orleans - a lament of their demise in the US. Will they ever return? Let's hope so.
