Songs about the Subway | MP3s

I love the subway. I hate the subway. I think most New Yorkers share my sentiment. We love it until something happens. Then we hate it.

A day doesn't go by that I don't have at least one interesting (usually positive) experience on the subway. Sometimes they are really special. Last Sunday (April 10, 2005) I was on my way to see M. Ward and CocoRosie at Bowery Ballroom. There were about ten people in the subway car I chose. Three of them were playing banjos. Singing and harmonica-playing followed. A group of kids boarded the train a stop later. They started laughing, square-dancing, and creating beats with their feet. Everyone in the car clapped after every song. This lasted a full six stops before the guys from Brooklyn-based Banjorama exited the train (on the way to a gig I think).

It's not hard to believe that multiple artists sing about the NYC subway system. MP3 blog Locus St posted some songs for download that fit that description. The collection includes Duke Ellington, Le Tigre, The Last Poets, New York Dolls, and Tom Waits.

nada surf had a song on their last record called "paper boats", about the NYC subway. fantastic song. drags for a while, but the end of the is some of the best music i've heard them do.
