That’s quite a few ‘views’ 187,000 for such an obscure song. But, it only proves (once again) how incredibly gifted though so grossly under appreciated, Al Stewart really is!
It's quite a unique one. You don't find a lot of song that conveys the feeling of spycraft in the late 19th/early 20th century, and especially not with that punch.
This is the kind of skilled lyric writing that all song writers should aspire to. But sadly they don't, or can't. This is truly imaginative and conjures up images of pre WW II europe and cloak and dagger spying. The song not only paint pictures in your mind but a whole movie. Wonderful writing.
Absolutely! Pop records should inspire! Al usually does, and the music is wonderful. Pop songs should not have to be about adolescent behavior and the complexities which arise because of bad behavior and poor judgement!
I LOVE Al Stewart! The lyrics and music of this song are exquisite, creative and fabulous!The ENIgma code of Nazis WAS broken by mathematicians and chess masters@Bletchley Park England! The Americans used the Navajo Indian code which Nazis & Japan did NOT decode!!
"Night Train To Munich" Meet me at the station underneath the clock Carry an umbrella, no need to talk The man in the homburg, hiding in the fog Will be watching Get yourself a ticket, go through the gate At seven forty-five precisely, don't be late If anybody follows don't hesitate Keep on walking And take the night train to Munich Rumbling down the track After half an hour in the restaurant car Look for the conductor And there will be a stain on his tunic A paper underneath his arm Then you'd better pray that he doesn't look away Or you'll never, never, never come back. When you get the paper take a look inside On page twenty-seven there's a photo of a bride Underneath the story of a man who died In Morocco Memorize the article word for word The man in the homburg understands the code Make sure the conversation isn't overheard They're around you I really wouldn't ask if there was anybody else But I now you've got the knack of taking care of yourself And they don't know your face so there won't be anyone Looking for you When you get to Munich we'll be waiting in the car Don't look around, just walk straight out If you don't show, I'm sorry for the pain I caused you Upon the night train to Munich Rumbling down the track After half an hour in the restaurant car Look for the conductor And there will be a stain on his tunic A paper underneath his arm Then you'd better pray that he doesn't look away Or you'll never, never, never come back
I first heard Year Of The Cat back in '76. I have been a fan since. He is simply brilliant as both a guitarist and song writer. Thanks for the vids, they are also awesome.
He is a great song writer but has always hired really talented guitarists as he's not really all that great at that. People like Laurence Juber, Tim Renwick, Peter White, Jimmy Page come to mind.
Past, Present and Future ... his best album. Then somewhere along the line he just starting writing mediocre tunes, but usually at least one great song on every album. Past, Present and Future, Modern Times, Year Of The Cat, Time Passages my favorites.
Thank you so much for your comments - it's just a bit of fun for me and I do really enjoy sourcing, editing and compiling the clips and images to make a video. I've just finished 'Palace of Versailles' but note that it has been banned in the USA (no idea why!).
“Night Train to Munich” (1995) may have been inspired by the 1940 comedy thriller of the same name. That said, let’s agree : any song rhyming “Night train to Munich” with “Stain on his tunic” is not to be taken too seriously‼️ This piece is very clever lyrically. Furthermore, it features some singular acoustic guitar dueling between Al Stewart and Laurence Juber. WORTH A LISTEN OR TEN‼️ 💚🚊💜
I saw Al perform in Minneapolis, Minnesota in the 80's During Year of the Cat..the Saxophonist broke out in his solo from a platform behind the crowd....Awesome show..
I was fortunate enough to be there as well! True story: My wife and I snuck around behind the stage b4 the show to try and get a glimpse of Al. He saw us, waved us over and took a picture with us!!!
Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan thank you for your wonderful comments on my post it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music…..❤️❤️❤️
I met Laurence Juber once. I cannot even remember exactly the year now as it does not matter. maybe mid to late 1980's. at pepperland records either Anaheim or Westminster or Garden Grove ( in southern California ),( I don't remember the location as they moved around so many times until they eventually went out of business ) he was with his wife and they drove up in a mid 80's Volvo station wagon.
I used to love trains in Germany. There was always something interesting happening whenever I went anywhere. I dont know why but British Rail never had the same feeling as Deutsche Bundesbahn (of course German people living in the UK maybe felt the same about our trains, it depends I suppose, on how old you are and what youre doing). I crossed over East Germany to West Berlin quite a few times and the whole thing with the East German Border Patrols and changing the engines etc., was very different to anything we experienced here, so it was exciting and scary at the same time. I suppose it was like something out of a film. If you went to the resteraunt at the top of the Fernsehturm in East Berlin, there were KGB and Stasi eating their lunch there and it was quite intriguing. I loved it. They really did wear those fur hats in winter lol! This song really brings it all back. The late 70's and early 80's were a different time and the tensions of the Cold war were real and very unsettling. The TV series about the East German soldier spying in that time period was brilliant too. I was engaged to a German who was in the Bundesmarine and he wasnt allowed to take a train into West Berlin at that time as there was a very real risk of being abducted by the East Germans. I loved Berlin and even after I split with him I went back and spent a couple of years over there.

yes it does, doesn't it? brilliant all the way around. always gives me images in black and white when I think of the lyrics. I also feel a little bit of Djano Reinhardt thrown in for good measure.
If I'm not mistaken, I think I read in an interview somewhere that the jazz manouche rhythm is in fact a reference to Django Reindhart. And indeed, the rest of the album (Between The Wars) features tracks like "A league of notions" and "laughing into 1939", so indeed much of the album is about World War 2
@LaserBeam002 @LaserBeam002 Thanks for watching and commenting. Got to love Al Stewart! You're right he has produced so many wonderful and amazing songs. Curious that he's not more known in the States. Don't know if you've stumbled upon my channel (jonnoms) but I've done a few vids to his songs - Helen & Cassandra, One Stage Before, Night Train, Where are they now?, Rocks in the Ocean, Fields of France, and Dark Water -strangely most were blocked worldwide but are slowly becoming available.

You are going to LOVE it! I was fortunate enough to see them together when this CD came out. It was great. Laurence is an amazing player,and a wonderful man.
a wonderful track from 'Between The Wars' - one of my (and possible my most) favourite Al Stewart albums . Lawrence Juber's guitar is amazing, and I love his duelling with the violin player. Does anyone know who that is? Here's to those old Cousins and Troubadour days in London in the sixties. Shame he ever left and went to live in America - we hardly get to see him in England any more.

That’s quite a few ‘views’ 187,000 for such an obscure song. But, it only proves (once again) how incredibly gifted though so grossly under appreciated, Al Stewart really is!
It's quite a unique one. You don't find a lot of song that conveys the feeling of spycraft in the late 19th/early 20th century, and especially not with that punch.
Eines meiner absoluten Bestis unter den sehr guten Stücken
The truth is that Al Stewart has written at least 150 songs which I consider to be great!
This is the kind of skilled lyric writing that all song writers should aspire to. But sadly they don't, or can't. This is truly imaginative and conjures up images of pre WW II europe and cloak and dagger spying. The song not only paint pictures in your mind but a whole movie. Wonderful writing.
its cant the man is insanely talented
Absolutely! Pop records should inspire! Al usually does, and the music is wonderful. Pop songs should not have to be about adolescent behavior and the complexities which arise because of bad behavior and poor judgement!
He never seems to run out of ideas.
Absolutely classic storytelling at it's best. Al Stewart is phenomenal!
I agree..
All his songs conjure up a picture in your head.
Love this song.

I LOVE Al Stewart! The lyrics and music of this song are exquisite, creative and fabulous!The ENIgma code of Nazis WAS broken by mathematicians and chess masters@Bletchley Park England! The Americans used the Navajo Indian code which Nazis & Japan did NOT decode!!
"Night Train To Munich"
Meet me at the station underneath the clock
Carry an umbrella, no need to talk
The man in the homburg, hiding in the fog
Will be watching
Get yourself a ticket, go through the gate
At seven forty-five precisely, don't be late
If anybody follows don't hesitate
Keep on walking
And take the night train to Munich
Rumbling down the track
After half an hour in the restaurant car
Look for the conductor
And there will be a stain on his tunic
A paper underneath his arm
Then you'd better pray that he doesn't look away
Or you'll never, never, never come back.
When you get the paper take a look inside
On page twenty-seven there's a photo of a bride
Underneath the story of a man who died
In Morocco
Memorize the article word for word
The man in the homburg understands the code
Make sure the conversation isn't overheard
They're around you
I really wouldn't ask if there was anybody else
But I now you've got the knack of taking care of yourself
And they don't know your face so there won't be anyone
Looking for you
When you get to Munich we'll be waiting in the car
Don't look around, just walk straight out
If you don't show, I'm sorry for the pain
I caused you
Upon the night train to Munich
Rumbling down the track
After half an hour in the restaurant car
Look for the conductor
And there will be a stain on his tunic
A paper underneath his arm
Then you'd better pray that he doesn't look away
Or you'll never, never, never come back
His lyrics are incredible! Even better - you can understand EVERY word he’s singing. Very articulate!! ❤❤
Pure genius. Al is always operating at the highest level.
Al Stewart s songs had deep meaning..
He had a great voice...
I love On the Border ..
Thank you, Al. One of our fellow beings who understands the truth of being....
cudny pojedynek gitary i skrzypiec...
Al did a great version of this last night in Londonderry NH.....a true genius.
I'm 8 years to late to see it!
I first heard Year Of The Cat back in '76. I have been a fan since. He is simply brilliant as both a guitarist and song writer. Thanks for the vids, they are also awesome.
I became a fan with Time Passages. Somehow, this is the first time I've heard of Night Train to Munich. Love it!

WOW!
Had never heard this one before either -- thank you so much!
And you've done a fine job w/ the vid, too.
Saw Al a few weeks ago in NH, and he did an amazing version of this....we are going to see Laurence Juber at the same venue in April :)

Evokes the European 1930s, and the turbulent times right before the second world war...

Nachtzug nach München Songtext :
Wir treffen uns am Bahnhof unter die Uhr
Führen Sie ein einen Schirm, keine Notwendigkeit zu sprechen,
Der Mann in der Homburg, versteckt im Nebel
Wird beobachtet
Holen Sie sich ein Ticket, gehen durch das Tor
Um sieben Uhr fünfundvierzig gesagt, nicht zu spät
Wenn jemand folgt, zögern Sie nicht,
Keep on walking
"Und nimm' den Nachtzug nach München,
die Schienen hinunterratternd
Nach einanderthalb Stunden im Speisewagen
halt Ausschau nach dem Schaffner
Da wird ein Fleck auf seinem Uniformrock sein
eine Zeitung unter seinem Arm
Dann solltest du beten, dass er nicht wegsieht
oder du wirst nie, nie, nie wieder zurück kommen"
Wenn Sie das Papier einen Blick ins Innere
Auf Seite siebenundzwanzig gibt es ein Foto von einer Braut
Unterhalb der Geschichte eines Mannes, der gestorben
in Marokko
Merken Sie sich den Artikel Wort für Wort
Der Mann in der homburg den Code versteht
Achten Sie darauf, das Gespräch nicht mitgehört
Sie sind in Ihrer Nähe
"Und nimm' den Nachtzug nach München,
die Schienen hinunterratternd
Nach einanderthalb Stunden im Speisewagen
halt Ausschau nach dem Schaffner
Da wird ein Fleck auf seinem Uniformrock sein
eine Zeitung unter seinem Arm
Dann solltest du beten, dass er nicht wegsieht
oder du wirst nie, nie, nie wieder zurück kommen"
Ich möchte wirklich nicht fragen, ob es jemand anderes
Aber ich jetzt die Gabe, auf sich aufzupassen haben
Und sie wissen nicht, Ihr Gesicht so wird es nicht jeder sein
Auf der Suche nach dir
Wenn Sie nach München kommen, werden wir im Auto warten
Schauen Sie nicht um, nur zu Fuß direkt aus
Wenn Sie nicht zeigen, es tut mir leid für den Schmerz
Ich Sie verursacht
"Und nimm' den Nachtzug nach München,
die Schienen hinunterratternd
Nach einanderthalb Stunden im Speisewagen
halt Ausschau nach dem Schaffner
Da wird ein Fleck auf seinem Uniformrock sein
eine Zeitung unter seinem Arm
Dann solltest du beten, dass er nicht wegsieht
oder du wirst nie, nie, nie wieder zurück kommen"

You are going to LOVE it! I was fortunate enough to see them together when this CD came out. It was great. Laurence is an amazing player,and a wonderful man.
C'mon, I am in the US and have been following all along. His albums are and have been mostly readily available.
Classic.
Bravo. An inspired effort.
Awesome soong and video.
the great duel, in my view, is the one Guitar/Violin, at the end of the song
Great stuff
Good footage
It grows on you
Amen. We have Al Stewart albums too, and we're in the US ourselves.
fantastic song!
Esta buena canción la compuso ALL STEWART y la canto y la publico en el año 1995
Laurence Juber deserves a lot of credit for this, too.
Wonderful. 😉😉🤗🤗
Excelente postagem.
40 que escucho y nme canso (años)
After watching Baccano listening to this is...interesting
Lovely
a wonderful track from 'Between The Wars' - one of my (and possible my most) favourite Al Stewart albums . Lawrence Juber's guitar is amazing, and I love his duelling with the violin player. Does anyone know who that is? Here's to those old Cousins and Troubadour days in London in the sixties. Shame he ever left and went to live in America - we hardly get to see him in England any more.
Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan thank you for your wonderful comments on my post it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music…..❤️❤️❤️
Oh. It was a fedora (I was so excited I was willing to say it immediately, but I hadn't gotten the full definition.).
Fantastic!
I always wonder if there ever was a movie where this fabulous music was written for. If there is, how to get hold of that movie?
Great lyrics! Now about the music itself, Hmmmm.
Did he have Dave Nachmanoff with him (I mean, he usually does these day)? Their double guitars with this song are brilliant.
this and The Swallow by the Moody Blues
great video I'm very impressed with the newspaper how'd you swing that ?
The newspaper animation was someone else's work, as indeed were all the clips I used.
@@jonnoms ah I see. thanks
Very very Nice
Более чем прекрасно !!!
Inspired by the late 30's film "Night Train To Munich"?
Guess so........
Also a great movie on You Tube.
☺😊😍👏👏👏👏👏👏all stewart adil morrocow casa blanca💘
this is te strangeest think. i had a tueday newspaper at a rialway taxi station. i was a bit insane, but it wasl also strange time
i'd taken the nght train and moring rain, and it wqas Belfars 1974
solo puedo decir :sencilla pero genial
It is, after all, based on the movie by the same title.
this one comes on like a long-lost collaboration between django reinhardt and eric ambler.
Which Homburg is being referred to?
It is not Homburg, but Hombug a type of hat popular 1920's - 1940's
@Magier Pierre Mardue:
You shouldn't have used a translator for it, at some points it doesn't make sense and at other points it's just awful German.

Hand-in-hand with his "The Running Man"...
Sigh...
is the footage from the movie that the song was based off of ?
No. Jut tried to match images to the lyric. Images taken from all over, not just one movie.
You did a brilliant job of putting together the images. Thank you!
okey now i can not stfu. i meet her in ireland and went to visiit in Munich. she fell on her head at age two years. bt otherwisse was a common senced
