In This ‘Train’ of Thought

It was then when I heard Chico and Del mentioning about how contagious Train’s album is. Till I heard it myself, and darn were they right.



Having been quite familiar with Hey Soul Sister, Train has not got into my core at least after hearing If It’s Love which spit fired interest in me. The next thing I know, it was Train playing on a sunlit Saturday on repeat.

And I couldn’t help but get a hand on some of my fave Train tracks.

Breakfast in Bed



Hypnotic.

The song gave me so much of a U2 feel, putting me in a daze. It isn’t catchy at first but when you come to crunch on the lyrics, you’ll definitely be mesmerized by it.

You’re the best book I ever read

You’re the smartest thing I ever said

You’re breakfast in bed

Could be the sweetest compliment you could ever hear waking up in the morning.

Parachute



The first line itself, bang!

I wanna take you with me to life with no more yesterdays.

Well, there are just some things you’re aching so much not to look back to. And for somebody to let you know that he’s willing to take you to a fresh start, it could have been the next best thing after a woeful downfall.

Words

Words, they’ll try to shake you, but don’t let them break you or stop your world from turning.

An ultimate feel-good vibe song.

Despite negativities hovering and the ruthlessness there is, it’s but right to look at things in a better perspective. Yes, there will be days when everything seems to be against you; like you feel such a mess. Those days happen, shit happens and you can’t do anything but keep going.

Turn the tables around. Life is what you make it.

Brick by Brick

I wish I could have written this song.

Rebuilding; like there’s no other word ever fitting to embody it.  It talks about having to start from square one again, with the promise to make it better than the last time around.

Brick by brick we’ll get back to yesterday when I made your body shiver and when you took my breath away,

And I couldn’t elaborate some more.

Marry Me



Every girl’s fancy. This could have been the quietest song in the album. I think it’s best listening to it when the lights are out.

It’s soulful and serene. Makes you want to picture your own wedding day.

Forever can never be long enough for me.

Because that’s what it supposed to be, anyway.

I bet you’ve got your curiosity burning after my run down of Train’s tracks. You might want to indulge your senses on it.

It’s a nice weekend playback-- like one hit after the other.
