Escape is at Hand for the Travellin Man from Phantom Power

It was our third time in New York

It was your fourth time in New York

We were fifth and sixth on the bill

We talk a little about our bands

Talk a little of our future plans

It's not like we were best friends

That number scheme comes back to me

In times beyond our heartbeat

We hung around 'til the final band called

"Escape Is At Hand For The Travellin' Man"

You yelled in my ear, this music speaks to me

They launched into, "Lonely From Rock 'n Roll"

Followed by, "They Checked Out An Hour Ago"

Closing with, "All Desires Turn Concrete"

Those melodies come back to me

Time beyond our heartbeat

I guess I'm too slow, yes, I'm too, yes, I'm too slow

But you said anytime of the day was fine

You said anytime of the night was also fine

I walked through your revolving door

Got no answer on the seventh floor

Elevator gave a low moan

The pigeons sagged the wire with their weight

Listening to the singing chambermaid

She sang, "They Checked Out An Hour Ago", and chuckled

Those melodies come back to me

Time beyond our heartbeat

I guess I'm too slow, yes, I'm too, yes, I'm too slow

But you said anytime of the day was fine

You said anytime of the night was also fine

Our heartbeat, our heartbeat, our heartbeat

Long conversation or idle chit chat

Maybe dive in or maybe hang back

Idle conversation or idle chit chat

Maybe dive in or maybe hang back

The tone of voice and the context in the spoken part "Why, what did he do?" reminds me of a bit in a Neil Young song.... "Well tell me more, tell me more, tell me more ... I mean was he a heavy doper or was he just a loser? He was a friend of yours."

This song sounds a lot like Radiohead's There There. Which came first?

Only began to really check these guys out a couple of years back and this song quickly became a favorite. Not sure of the story behind it, but would appreciate knowing if anyone out there has an understanding. Thanks guys for all the wonderful music! May God bless you Gordie.

Where I want to be.... a travelling man on my alberg 30 built in Whitby Canada, cruising what is left of the free world that Neil made an anthem of.  The age of awesome gives way to the age of fear and subjugation in the modern day of old age regret and sorrow. I want and will set my life and course on a direction dictated by nature first and foremost. The world will live with out us, we cant live without the world and ourselves in the game of sustainable existence let alone survival. time for the warrior of life to come to the forefront of the Times. What say?

His words just capture perfect imagery. And the story flows within the music. Always have felt they are the tightest band, perfect timing.
