lyrics

"All aboard to Tarrytown!"
(Croton-Harmon farther down)
Then those charming, chiming sounds.
The usual delays...
These lines have seen better days!

"Have your tickets ready, please!"
I could barely stretch my knees -
The squall retired to breeze -
A slowly diving scaup -
And then a sudden stop.

And so are hearts assailed,
A train has been derailed,
With four more lives curtailed.
Just hear me out…

I recall that farewell strain,
So resplendent in the rain;
So valiant in vain.
And though the creek's been paved,
I hear it out in the waves

From my half-moon in the trees
(Mise en scene as Deco frieze),
I see it all with ease:
The horrors of this town
(The trumpet-man who drowned).

And to this day remains
That ol' familiar pain.
Sometimes I can't explain -
Just hear me…

[Spuyten Duyvil,
I know I will
Live it again] (x2)

It was February 5th
When, adjoined by kin and kith,
He rose to meet the myth
I hardly even knew...
But what's a boy to do?

Are we truly all alone?
Will they reap what we have sown?
Or catch what we have thrown?
Though devils lie in spite,
Just hear me…

[CHORUS]

And with our manitou intact,
We singled up and doubled back,
For maps can never know the land,
And I will never understand.
Shantih
Shantih
Shanti

[CHORUS]

James Hackett + GNAC: Underneath The Stars, Still Waiting.
by Vetchinsky Settings

supported by 5 fans who also own “Spuyten Duyvil”

Beautiful music from the James Hackett (The Orchids) and Mark Tranmer (Gnac, The Montgolfier Brothers). Both are masters at creating atmospheres that feel both cinematic and intimately personal. It's like espresso and a sedative, conjuring a vivid dream, and it's a place once visited you want to explore for as long as the spell lasts. Truly special. Andy Waltzer
