أنشودة المطر

فوزي محسُون - ما راودك في الحلم طيف

ما راودك في الحِلم طيف؟

عبادي الجوهر - نالت علي يدها

طلال مداح - ظالم ولكن

انشودة المطر - محمد عبده

أتعلمين اي حزن يبعث المطر؟

It would seem that Melbourne’s No 96 tram is much like Geelong’s No 1 bus route. Everywhere north to south in  their hometown.

Road trip songs are a staple, and my favourite would have to be John Phillips “Holland Tunnel” which gives directions to get out of New York and head to Los Angeles.

But I digress.

It’s light and it’s fun. I like the lines

Where I end up who can say?
No 96 is taking us to the other side.

From the tram bell at the beginning and onwards, it is obvious that this is not a deep and meaningful philosophical number.

That’s a welcome change.

It follows a tradition of such songs – The Mixtures “Pushbike Song” comes to mind.

It also seems a very Melbourne thing to define yourself by public transport route you are on. During my three years in Melbourne I travelled on the “Heidelberg, Eltham and Hurstbridge” train, in the days of the red rattlers, and I knew every twist and station on the trip, but not that much away from the track.

I love the deepness of Pink Floyd and Leonard Cohen, but sometimes you have to have a laugh.

Mick Thomas’ Roving Commission will be at the Birregurra Hall on Friday Nov 14, and at the Eureka with The Ferriters on Saturday the 15th
