	With a title technically too long for MP3.com's limitations, this is a cover of a Mike Doughty song from his album "Skittish." My rendition of "Thank You, Lord, For Sending Me The F Train" attempts to add a full band sound to Doughty's acoustic small rock, and I think I succeeded. This was recorded for a Mike Doughty tribute album which has yet to be released.
	CD: The Music Has Stolen My Language Credits: Written by Mike Doughty. All instruments/vocals by Victor Andersen. Recorded by Jason Dodson at The Martini Room in Martinez, CA. Mixed by Victor Andersen and William Files.
	Story Behind the Song This song was written by Mike Doughty, and as such I am ignorant to its true meaning or inspiration. I chose to cover it because it's one of the catchier songs he's written and while playing around with my guitar one day I discovered that I was playing the approximate chords to F Train. The recording session was comprised of a few takes each of guitar and vocals being recorded in the studio. I then took those tracks back home, sampled the guitar into a loop, added programmed beats, synth bass, and various blips and bleeps. Then I processed the hell out of the vocals and spent about 10 days straight fine-tuning the mix. What you now hear is the lovingly crafted finished project. Lyrics [modified slightly from the original] the dark is droppping like a spot of black ink squeezed into a glass of water and now the crowds are thinning out into the light down in the subway station here this train speeds underground this train speeds under the river and i will drift back to the slope some face unlit, stuck there into the incline where i will sleep off all the noise the soot accumulated, all my trials here this train speeds underground this train speeds under the river and i thank you lord almighty up above for sending out the F train to me so thankful for all the unspent love that i save up in a jar of money your polaroid is on the wall stuck in the crack between the door and door-frame trapped in the middle of some laugh some drunken joke some friend of yours was telling here this train speeds underground this train speeds under the river and i thank you lord almighty up above for sending out the F train to me so greatful for all the unspent love that i save up in a jar of money...
