Train

   
     Train is an American rock from SanFrancisco, forming in 1993. And I, the author, was born in 1995. As you can imagine, they must be" uncles".

  So, let's introduce the" uncles" and see how could they still perform on stage like young boys!
1. Pat Monahan

2.Jimmy Stafford

3.Scott Underwood



     In 1998, after their first album was released than they won the favor of the mainstream market. The song" Meet Virginia" rushed into Billboard hot 100. Then, the album" Drops of Jupiter", published in 2001, brought high achievement to the band, winning two Grammy prize in the next year. So on, their third album" My Private Nation" also as hot as before, selling more then millions albums.
" Meet Virginia"

" Drops of Jupiter"

" Calling all Angels" 

     However, their fourth album didn't sell good. Although they generally received positive reaction, the selling number just a tragedy. As a result, they shortly broke up until three years later.
" Cab"

     After the dark then we got the sun shine. In 2009, Train came back with their new album" Save Me, San Francisco", hoping to get back their passed glory. And indeed, they've made it! The single" Hey, Soul Sister" now became the best-selling and the song" Marry Me" almost could be heard on every wedding, even here- Taiwan!
"Hey, Soul Sister"


"Marry Me"

     The latest and also the best album"California 37" was released in 2011. So, I just don't wanna say too more about it but list the songs that I recommend and maybe you would like.
"Drive by"

" 50 Ways to Say Goodbye"

    To sum up, no matter how popular they were overseas, there are seldom known here. Although there songs were played in many weddings, there were still no chinese Wiki about them!

  3. Their songs sounds so relaxing! I like the rhythm a lot, that really helps to ease the mood.
