about

Kerry Hutcherson:

If Jimmy and Jean is a love song to my wife, The Lullaby of the Lexington Line is a love song to New York City, specifically the Number 4 train on the MTA. Casey and I spent A LOT of time on this train: we would pick it up at Mosholu Station in the Bronx, which is one stop away from the very end of the train's northern route. I remember a lot of times when we would be riding back home on that train after a long day of adventure in Manhattan and the peaceful rhythm of the train would put us to sleep. This song is also a tribute to my friend Wynn Walent, who moved to New York from Virginia just a month or two before Casey and I were about to move back to Virginia. It recounts a bittersweet time in my life when I was bidding NYC farewell (which saddened me), living in Northern Virginia temporarily (which often annoyed me), and getting ready to move back to Richmond (which I was mostly okay with). I knew that ultimately the decision that Casey and I had made to move back to Virginia was for the best, but at the time I just wanted it hang onto the simple perfection of what we had in New York for a little longer.

What I like most about the recording of this song: The tones that Travis Tucker and JL Hodges got when they recorded the song and Kevin Willoughby's mix (all of which turned out exactly how I had heard it in my heard when writing the song). Initially, this song was going to be a combination of the Shins' "New Slang" and Neil Young's "I've Been Waiting For You." It ended up sounding nothing like either of them, but I'm okay with that.
