A beautiful heartfelt song with a haunting vocal sung with a delicate tone. The guitar rolls along perfectly to complete this song that is both moving and enchanting. Big respect from us at horizontal and thank you for putting up your track.

On of my favorite genres of song writing. Well done! The story line is compelling and really grabs on to your heart, wanting you to stay and listen to the entire tune. The instruments behind the lyric are nearly perfect in their attitude and composition as well. One thing I might do ( and this is only me talking ) is to make the intro one stanza shorter to get to the story a bit quicker. Nice tune!

Well played and singing is great. Good arrangement Harmony is excellent. Chords are well placed and well arranged. The instruments are well balanced. Good songwriting. Great melody and rhythm.

The first feeling i had when this songs start playing, is a mémrory of myself discovering Pink Floyd "The Wall" and those small songs inbetween the mains tracks. An heavy story behind soft words and peacefull music. Judging by the description, the story seems to be quite sad (he's talking about his own story, being taken away from family at the age of five), but you feel like he's at peace when he sings about it and you can't stop feeling a littler lighter yourself. The balance between guitar and voice is refreshing and put you straight at ease. Do not let "The Train Rolled By" .... roll by without a click ! Sorry for my english, it's been a while since i've been abroad ! Isidor

I am so pleased to have found you today. I also play guitar and was immediately drawn to your style and your voice. This is a beautiful song and the train like tempo had my foot tapping. The sad tones of the song, remind us all the truths of growing up. Sights and sounds become the background to our own sound track but I am glad to have found one of yours. Amazing ....

Great song Dave. These "Momentary burst of inspiration "are evident in your theme, plot, and flow of this song. Accompanied by a host of instruments that added quality to the story. Good job Dave Moses, I'll look for you live.

Hi David. Sorry to hear you had such a sad start to life but fortunately your life story has given you this opportunity to be able write and produce great lyrics in this song. You have a pleasant listening voice and the music is simple but tasteful. The mix is well balanced and the song fits definitely into the acoustic folk genre. Music is happiness and food for the soul.I wish you all good adventures in your music Cheers Johnny Shilo Melbourne Au

David is in the tradition of good country folk. His soft voice talk about simple things that happen into our lives. A very good melodiste and this song particulary rock me softly and make's me travelling whith him on the train of life who's goes by the field.

This song is a quiet ballad, with a blues background, but a sophisticated sound too. The guitar only touched gives this effect. So we can listen your voice better and this is a positive thing.

My wife and I listened to "The Train Rolled By" together. She is still wiping tears from her eyes, and I'm trying hard not to let her see that I have tears in my eyes as well! What a great song! And what a great voice singing it! David, you have managed to put the perfect package together... Your voice, the simple elegance of the music, and the sincerity of the words, all work so well! How proud you must be of this one! My wife and I are hoping this song is part of an album, and that we can track it down to purchase it! (David, my name is Diane, and I am Michael's wife. He read me the review you just read, and played me your song. I was as impressed as he was...and I might mention that my husband has played venues all over the world., and been a very successful songwriter and performer in his own right. Thank you so very much for letting us hear your beautiful voice and wonderful guitar! We both hope to hear much much more from you!

Your song was captivating and well written. Beautifully weaved around the guitar and the keys. Love the acoustic chilled vibe with gentle backing vocals and percussion. Really enjoyed your song. Well done!

The best songs are usually from personal experience and this one is straight from the heart. I like the simplicity of the arrangement, with the finger picking flattop and the layered vocals and volume swell leads. Ending on the V chord suggests that the healing process is not completed and that there will be more to this story. Good writing!

I hear shades of Arlo Guthrie ala 'City of New Orleans' in this song both musically and thematically. Notwithstanding this connection, the song is very much an original composition highlighting the artist's excellent fingerpicking and vocal talent. The harmonies in the chorus are especially gratifying and solidify the reflective and introspective mood of the song as do the thoughtful lyrics.

David Moss, in my opinion, has a very appealing style..His singing voice is very natural & down home and easy to listen to..His guitar playing is fine and adds to his folksy style..David's songwriting is very cool..Nice melody and chords..His lyrics are very cool and paint a really nice picture of where he's from..I liked the arrangement and the harmony was a nice touch..

Hello from France! Great folk song! Nice picking guitar . It would be realy good if it wase more present in the mix (probably a different place of the microphone during the recording) but it is a detaile. The voices are great too. Keep it up!

I love this music. The song is a very good story about a young boy that has a hard life and trying to figure out why. And at the same time he is trying to survive this crazy world. I would definitely recommend this song. Because it tell a true story about life that really does happens in this world around us. I had that kind of life my self. Thank you and keep up the good work..God bless you and your family. Yours truly LS Lighter Shade

Bonita canción y bonita melodía. La selección de los instrumentos me parece acertada, todo tocado con mucho gusto, bonitos acordes y sin abusos instrumentales. La voz está muy bien, profunda y los coros quedan bastante bien. En definitiva una canción bonita, bien compuesta y con sonidos más que agradables al oído. Gracias por regalarnos su maravillosa música, sus maravillosos músicos y su gusto por lo bien hecho.

David Moss' recording of "The Train Rolled By" is a truly moving true story of a boy given up for adoption at the age of 5, set to a railroad tempo country tune. The song begins with a steel guitar intro, faintly reminiscent of a train whistle. The acoustic guitar work is clean and the lead vocal is pleasant and solidly on pitch. Nothing flashy, but tells the story with authenticity and depth. Made my day!
