Very nice. Good voice and nice guitar playing

I love the way you sing. Unique and inspiring.

Great work.  Somehow it is so big sounding with just the acoustic and voice!

Beautifully done love the simplicity and the vocals great

Nice harmony and melody, rich guitar sound

Lovely song. You sound like the lovechild of Bernard Sumner and Edwyn Collins.

"The Trains Run On Time" sets the tone as the opening track of These Guitars Say Sorry's latest album, "You're Not Listening." This soul-stirring composition seamlessly integrates subtle sweeping strings, adding an ethereal dimension to the artist's signature sound.

As the melodic journey unfolds, the song paints a vivid picture of life's intricate tapestry. The lyrics delve into the daily hustle, capturing the essence of existence through the metaphorical imagery of trains running on time, smoke, shadows, and reflections in windows. The artist skillfully weaves a narrative around the circus and side shows of our lives, exploring themes of compromise, trade-offs, and the relentless chaos that never ceases.

The inclusion of sweeping strings elevates the emotional depth of the song, creating a symphony that resonates with both passion and contemplation. The acoustic guitar remains a steadfast companion, guiding listeners through the intricate landscapes of the artist's musical expression.

Below are the poignant lyrics that accompany this compelling piece:

```
Outside the trains run on time 
The smoke and the shadows 
Reflections in windows 
The circus and side shows of our lives 

Forgetting the pay offs 
The compromise and the trade offs 
Living through all the dead loss 
The calculation and chaos, never stops 

And I doubt we'll speak again 
And I doubt you even care 
I can't turn the other cheek 
If you're not even there 

From the windows and our doorways 
You can always see the sky 
And from the seat of my worn trousers 
I'm learning how to fly 
And if you're going to ask me questions 
I'm going to have to lie 
And if you're telling me I am to blame 
Then you might just be right 

The streets that deceive us 
Houses keeping our secrets 
Do they think they can see us 
And if they believe us, why the fuss? 

For heaven's sake I'm just hell bent 
I'm torn and I'm tempted 
Wish sometimes you meant it 
All the goodwill I spent it, long ago 

And I doubt we'll speak again 
And I doubt you even care 
I can't turn the other cheek 
If you're not even there 
Outside the trains run on time
