Did you never call? I waited for your call.
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away.
The trees will bend, the cities wash away
The city on the river there is a girl without a dream.
I’m sorry…I’m sorry…I’m sorry…
~Michael Stipe, American Singer, Songwriter, taken from South Central Rain
Throughout modern time, trains have been used as powerful metaphors for human emotion–and it is especially true in the song, South Central Rain. Written by Michael Stipe, an American music icon from Athens, GA, South Central Rain skillfully and romantically transports the listener to a haunting and lonesome place–a destination that can only be reached by riding the rails constructed by Stipe’s brilliant imagination.
