About this track
A man walks away.
Not because he knows where he’s going, but because something calls him from far beyond the horizon, and waiting feels heavier than leaving.
Whistle Down the Track is the beginning of a long run: through dust and cotton, silence and steel, between memory and instinct. A train whistle in the night that sounds more like a promise than a warning.

Creative Process
This song, like the entire album Run Like the River, was shaped around a single question: what drives someone to disappear, not from the past, but from a version of themselves that never happened ?
Each lyric was written with that sense of quiet urgency. Every scene, every gesture, was imagined before the music was born.

Creative Tools
This piece is Made with AI : the music and voice were generated using creative audio tools, but the vision, narrative structure, and lyrics are the result of human storytelling.
Direction, intention, emotion: all conceived and guided by Unfolded Sounds.

Lyrics :
There’s a train comin’ down past the cotton rows
Steam’s risin’ high like a tale that grows
I heard that whistle when I was ten
Now it’s callin’ my name again

Momma said “boy, don’t chase that sound”
But my boots keep movin’ on this dusty ground
I ain’t got gold, I ain’t got grace
But I got wheels and a runnin’ face

WHISTLE DOWN the TRACK,
never comin’ back
Feet on fire,
heart in black
ROLLIN’ with the sound,
sky turnin’ brown
Dust behind me
and the next small town

I seen the fields and the rivers dry
Heard a preacher shout and a widow cry
But the road don’t talk, the road don’t lie
It just keeps goin’ ‘til the day I die

My hands are rough, my soul’s worn thin
But that whistle knows where I begin
When the engine moans and the brakes let go
I’m HOME, wherever that train might roll

WHISTLE DOWN the TRACK,
never comin’ back
Feet on fire,
heart in black
ROLLIN’ with the sound,
sky turnin’ brown
Dust behind me
and the next small town

Some folks PRAY,
some folks RUN
Me, I ride
with the settin’ sun

WHISTLE DOWN the TRACK,
never comin’ back
No regrets,
no lookin’ back
ROLLIN’ like thunder,
wheels on the ground
I’m the ghost in the smoke
Of the next small town...
