TGV from Here by Ernesto Cervini
This song was inspired a trip that I took to France just after graduating from the Manhattan School of Music. TGV (Train Grand Vitesse) is the bullet train that runs under the English Channel, and the first 3 notes of the song are the notes that are played in the train station before announcements. I thought it sounded pretty ominous, and I came up with this train-inspired tune. This was also re-recorded on our live album, "There".
