The Sound of the Train....

Unknown
edited November -1 in OK Go
I saw OKGO about a year ago at the Troubador in W. Hollywood. It was a great show and they pretty much played their entire first album. They played a few unreleased songs too, one of which instantly became my favorite OKGO song. They announced it and said it'd be on the new album, but it's not. What happened....


Since I've only heard the song once in my life, I don't recall many details of it other than that it has some really crunchy guitar at the start follwed by brief interludes of silence. The lyrics fr the chorus go... "This is not the sound of the train. This is not the sound of the train." Then it becomes more rockin' and I don't know any lyrics beyond that.

Anyone familiar with this song? Or better yet, anyone know how I can get my hands on it? (Since it's not on the new album as promised!)

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

    theres such a mystery surrounding that song, OKGO have been playing it for as long as I've been going to see them and I think EVERY fan wants to see it released! yet i don't think anybody knows the deal with it... all i know is i do enjoy pulling those silly poses when they play it!

    anyway if anyone can shed some light on when it was written and such id been quite interested!

    Oooh, it's so fun live. Audience participation!

    I believe the version that's in the email account is the recorded version. I only have that, not a live version.

    Could someone please post the lyrics to "Unrequited Orchestra of Locomotion"? I tried looking on lyrics websites, but they are so wrong and incomplete (White comb in the slick of the rain- Cushion something something inclined plane-Something something headlight disdain)!

    Thanks,
    Susan

    I've always liked the live version a lot more than the studio cut.
