Last Train Home

  ["","Watch it pass the day as it fades away","Yeah, we sing if it's not enough","To ever fall in love","Yeah, we sing if it's not enough","Watch it pass the day as it fades away","Forget the sorrow and I can be on the last train home","But there's still tomorrow","And we sing, sing without a reason to ever fall in love","Yeah, we sing if it's not enough","Even when you think you're right, you have to give to take","But we sing if we're going nowhere","She told me that it's all part of the choices that you make","And we sing, sing without a reason","","Yeah, we sing if it's not enough","To never fall in love again","But we sing if we're going nowhere","No more time to care, no more time, today","","And we sing, sing without a reason","To every broken heart in here","But there's still tomorrow","I wonder if you're listening in","Love was once a part but now it's disappeared","","","Forget the sorrow and I can be on the last train home","But we sing if we're going no where","Well, we sing if we're going nowhere","One, two, three","Sometimes it feels like I don't really know what's going on","","Picking up on the signals sent back from within","No more time to care, no more time, today","","","Time and time again it seems like everything is wrong in here","And we sing, sing with out a reason to never fall in love","To ever fall in love"]

Biography

Last Train Home is known for its melodic, earnest country-rock. The beginnings of Last Train Home can be traced back to an opening slot for the Waco Brothers in 1997 at the Black Cat club in Washington, D.C. Frontman Eric Brace, who was born in California and raised in the D.C. area (his father was an urban planner), had begun playing live music at Tufts college near Boston with the bluegrass band the Mystic Valley Mountaineers. His brother, mandolin and harmonica player Alan Brace, had played with the Pinetop Rhythm Band in Fort Collins, CO. In the mid-'80s, the brothers formed B-Time, a guitar pop/new wave band that released an EP. After that, the Braces moved on to the Beggars, joining with future Last Train Home pedal steel player Dave Van Allen and other musicians.

The Beggars, a more rootsy outfit, lasted for only a short time and Eric ended up playing bass in Kevin Johnson and the Linemen, along with future Last Train Home guitarist Bill Williams. Eric and Williams left the group in 1994 and rejoined with Alan, Scott McKnight (bass), Evan Pollack (drums), and mandolin player James Key. They eventually called themselves Last Train Home after a song Eric and Jim Greenfield had written in the '80s. When this version of the group disintegrated, Martin Lynds (drums) and Jim Gray (bass) were recruited. Gray had been a bassist with Kelly Willis' first group Kelly & the Fireballs. This is the incarnation that opened for the Wacos, beginning the definitive career of Last Train Home. A self-titled debut followed shortly after, in December 1997. Scott McKnight rejoined a couple of years later and the group released the album True North in 1999. The band has also recorded songs for tributes to the Blasters and Gene Clark. Frontman Eric Brace is also a music journalist and arts editor at The Washington Post. ~ Erik Hage, All Music Guide
