Happy Halloween! If you’d like a slightly creepy treat from The Paper. this year, maybe you’ll enjoy the brand new, tricked-out, psychedelic video for the song “Elephant Graveyard” by Albuquerque’s very own Train Conductor here.
You can pre-order the new record Feeling Town on Train Conductor’s Bandcamp page.
The band describes the track as a “surreal sonic journey to the afterlife with visuals inspired by the desert landscape and dream-like imagery.”
Lyrics:
Storm clouds accumulate, time to evaporate
Is the message clear? Stay away
Storm clouds swirl, shadows rise,
Pupils dilate, lost in skies.
Elephant graveyard, a mythical place that’s not too far
Lost in echoes, we float away.
Elephant graveyard, where colors collide,
Unearth visions that we try to hide
Sand stone forms the sand in your eyes
Drown myself in liquid lies
Drunken eyes, sunken ship
Take a sip and let it rip
Cumulus blooms, in a dance they create, Sunlight drips gold, as day begins to fold
Thunder rumbles, the sky’s warning cry,
Nature’s soft heartbeat, beneath the vast sky.
