The Night Train is a desert song that resonates with the beat of living in Central Australia. A love story set to the back drop of the pulsing Tanami Desert, the lyrics rise from a contemporary musical foundation, with harmonies that disappear into the shimmering Summer night. The Song is written by Michael Cafe and performed by Michael, Dave Crowe and Cain Gilmore with Production by Dave Crowe. The song is a tale of, trains, the Tanami, and getting back to love in time. A road song that unwinds along the Tanami in a busted old car. Will he make back in time before the departing Ghan, or will love set sail for Adelaide leaving a broken heart and a busted car behind. Here’s what David Bridie had to say about The Night Train: “The Night Train has a grooving soul feel with wonderful choral harmonies. A wonderful Territory road train lyric that avoids the cliches of this genre. I even dare suggest that it has a "bit of a new Dylan" feel about it .Great song"
