I’ve been a big fan of Train for a bit now, so when I was in Newbury Comics yesterday, I found Train frontman Pat Monahan’s solo CD, Last of Seven.
The CD is pretty good, although not much different from Train’s music. Today’s song of the day, Always Midnight, is also my favorite song off the album.
Always Midnight is a song that focuses on a relationship that is being torn apart by the girl’s obsession with drugs and alcohol. Monahan sings that he is tired of his girlfriend showing up after midnight and only wanting to be with him when it’s on her terms.
You’re right I must be crazy /You’re out getting high / I’m here pretending I’m in love / The sound of your heart, my head on your chest / Dropped your hands to your sides and gave up.
Monahan hits the chorus hard and powerful. It’s soft and slow, but painfully perfect when he sings, “Are you blind? / Can’t you see me standing here waiting in line for you / Are you mine? / Not just when you want to be, all of the time, are you? / Are you blind?
Watch the video below to see Monahan perform Always Midnight.
