JOE’s Song Of The Day #722 – Daniel John Paxton ‘Railway Line’

Eric Lalor

Daniel John Paxton debuts solo material.

Daniel John Paxton is no stranger to success. He has been a key member of some of Ireland’s most successful bands – Buffalo Sunn (vocals/guitar), Sweet Jane (vocals/guitar), The Brothers Movement (vocals/guitar/keys), Mainline (drums).

He has opened for The Jesus and Mary Chain at The Roundhouse, supported The Lemonheads and Michael Nau and toured the UK with The Besnard Lakes – which led to Jace Lacek of The Besnard Lakes mixing ‘Railway Line’.

This is a beautiful track from one of Ireland’s most prolific songwriters. He tells us, “Railway Line is a song about escapism, friendship and leaving small town mentality behind. Essentially it’s about moving further afield and broadening your horizons.”
