Wednesday - Taking Me Home

Copied!

No use trying to change my mind
Girl, I have to go
No use crying cause tears won't help you
Everybody knows

It's too bad baby
I'm so sad baby
I hear that lonely train's whistle blow
Taking me home

I had it with your running round
You had your better day
Sure was hard bringing me down
Words could never say

It's too bad baby
I'm so sad baby
I hear that lonely train's whistle blow
Taking me home

The more I tried
You know, the more I cried
You know, there has to be a better way
The (?...)
My hands were tied
Girl, I need a change
No use trying to change my mind
Girl I havе to go
No use crying cause tears won't hеlp you
Everybody knows

It's too bad baby
I'm so sad baby
I hear that lonely train's whistle blow
Taking me home

The more I tried
You know, the more I cried
You know, there had to be a better way
The (?...)
My hands were tied
Girl, I need a change

Oh taking me home
Oh taking me home
(I got to hear that train's whistle blow)
Oh taking me home
(Darling I need change
Come on blow)
Taking me home

The meaning of the song

edit description

"Wednesday - Taking Me Home" is a heart-wrenching ballad that tells the story of a man who has reached his breaking point in a toxic relationship. Despite the pain and sadness, he knows he has to leave for his own well-being. The lyrics convey a sense of finality and resignation, as the protagonist reflects on the hardships and struggles he has faced. The haunting sound of a lonely train's whistle serves as a metaphor for the journey he must take to find peace and happiness. The emotional vocals and melancholic melody make this song a poignant and powerful ode to letting go and moving on.

Biography

edit bio

Wednesday is an indie rock band based in Asheville, North Carolina that began releasing music in 2018. Originally a musical collaboration between University of North Carolina students Karly Hartzman and Daniel Gorham, the group expanded into its current iteration as a five-piece outfit composed of frontwoman Karly Hartzman (vocals/rhythm guitar/primary songwriter), Jake “MJ” Lenderman (lead guitar), Xandy Chelmis (lap steel guitar), Margo Schultz (bass), and Alan Miller (drums).

The band’s name Wednesday comes from Karly Hartzman and original member Daniel Gorham’s mutual appreciation of English jangle pop band The Sundays, especially their 1990 album Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. Yet The Sundays' soft guitar music is a far cry from Wednesday’s current musical output, which is mainly an amalgamation of ‘90s-inspired noisy slacker rock with elements of country and shoegaze … also known as “country-gaze.”
