This is my favorite song off of Anthony Raneri’s debut solo album New Cathedrals. Although it was released acoustically on Anthony’s myspace years ago I still love it and think he did a fantastic job on this new version. At first I was a little upset by how different it was, but now after reflecting I’m enjoying how it sounds. Raneri has come a long way, and I’m glad he’s taking us every step of the way with him.
My twin sister is pregnant with her second baby, which can only mean one thing; baby names. Her Husband want’s to name the child Pat, regardless of gender because his favorite team is the New England Patriots. Patricia for a girl, and Patrick for a boy. My sister is thinking a little out of the box and wants to name her child Leaf, (Probably not spelled Leif) which I totally dig. When she told me I started to sing this song to her but she and everyone else for that matter had no idea what the hell I was singing about.
Anyway, I love this song I heard it a long time ago and I immediately connected with it. It’s real without trying hard, It gives me an intense visceral nostalgia type feeling. I used to ride the train three to five times a week, and I would write down all the characteristics of the people that would stand out to me. I love the train, and I can’t wait to hop on it again soon.
