Theme Song 02:13
I'm working all day on the railroad track I'm gonna earn some money and hurt my back My eyes are burning and my throat is dry I'm gonna work this track until the day I die And when I die before I get back You can lay me beside this railroad track And every time a train passes by You will remember me on the day I died We are half way stationed

Monsters 04:11
Let's run, we need to go now Let's get out of this world we know Let's go, hold my hand now There's miles and miles of open road Don't understand, hold my hand This world is full of sorrow This world is full of things that aren't true This world is full of monsters, monsters that are chasing me and you We play along, that's what we do Poor boy is playing songs, songs about the places he has been Poor girl is asking questions, questions about the things that she has seen They're lost in a dream So let's go, because we need to move on And the only thing that's chasing us, the sun Let's run, hurry up now 'Cause the road we're gonna go is very long They'll ask around where we've gone

about

Half Way Station Netherlands

Half Way Station is one of the most exciting Dutch bands of the moment: They roll electric guitar and psychedelic synth- drones into their own recognisable style. On top of that lies the intense voice of their lead singer Elma Plaisier.
Half Way Station’s fresh view on music results in music that is both energising and soulful.
