A soft Jazz lullaby written for my son... sung by me.
classical instrumental soundtrack stage james mitchell broadway musical standards
Songs in search of a stage... The music of James B. Mitchell. Music for the cabaret, stage, and small instrumental groups. Soft jazz vocals.
Pianist by training, songwriter by passion, and a lifelong lover of music. My style tends to fall broadly into the "Musical" genre, with occasional ventures outside my comfort zone, but my passion has always been music for the stage.

Story behind the song
My son had a hard time going to bed each night. I thought a song about an adventure in sleep would entice him. Seemed to work -- he always requested it.
Lyrics
Dream Train Copyright 1994 by James B. Mitchell Words and Music by James B. Mitchell Mom says, "to bed!" Sam shakes his head, "How could it be bedtime when I'm still going strong? Just five minutes more, please! I'll give up my stories." It's ten minutes more before he hits the bed. A magical dream train waits for him to board, Exciting adventures no one's dreamed before, And just where it goes, only one person knows, As a matter of fact, Sam lays the track as he goes, And his wishes are whistle and steam For the magical train of his dreams. He bridges the chasms, he tunnels the mountains, He whizzes by fountains in his paradise, A dragon may bellow, Sam turns him to Jello, And serves up a feast of beast and berry pie. A magical dream train waits for him to board, Exciting adventures no one's dreamed before, And just where it goes, only one person knows, As a matter of fact, Sam lays the track as he goes, And his wishes are whistle and steam For the magical train of his dreams.
