1) The new Alt-country… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least two bands using this name.
1) The new Alt-country/Americana music of Anchorage based Last Train is shaped by the musical journey of its members, with influences ranging from twang to punk. The result is an Alaskan version of Americana which reflects the unique northern culture and landscape. With a refreshing ability to create genre bending arrangements, the band is ever mindful of its roots as it carves deeper into the heart of Alt-country. It is familiar Americana with a bit of steam locomotive behind it.
"Last Train uncovers familiar stories in the American landscape, while dressing them up in a sound that is from all of the history of rock and roll."
New West Records Artist - Tim Easton

Cold Fever
Last Train Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you burn, it doesn't mean you can stop me
you've done rock, you've done roll
it's time to make it my own
i need a brend new day
i need a new life
you were mine some day on the tip of my knife
oh there we are
Do you need somebody? Yeah I need somebody
Do you need somebody?
I need somebody to drag me up when I'm falling down, oh
it takes you like a cold fever
it does it like no other
There's no way I could be so blind
You were mine that day, I didn't give you a damn
Well, well
Do you need somebody? Oh, I need somebody
Do you need somebody? Yeah I need somebody
Do you need somebody?
I need somebody to drag me up when I'm falling down, oh
It takes you like a cold fever
It does it like no other
It takes you like a cold fever
It takes you like a cold fever
It takes you like a cold fever
It takes you like a cold fever
But I need somebody
But I need somebody
But I need somebody
But I need somebody
But I need somebody
It takes you like a cold fever
It does it like no other
The lyrics of Last Train's song "Cold Fever" suggest a sense of wanting to break free and start fresh. The opening lines - "just because you burn, it doesn't mean you can stop me" - implies that someone else's failure or mistakes will not hold the singer back. The lines "you've done rock, you've done roll, itâs time to make it my own" could be interpreted to mean that the singer is ready to take control and define their own path. The chorus "I need somebody to drag me up when I'm falling down" suggests that the singer is looking for support in their journey to start anew.
The imagery of a "cold fever" feels like a contradiction, yet it could represent the intensity and urgency of starting fresh. The repetition of the line "Do you need somebody? I need somebody" reinforces the idea of wanting or needing support from others. In the final lines "It takes you like a cold fever. It does it like no other. But I need somebody", the singer acknowledges the highs and lows of pursuing a new path, but still desires that support. Overall, the lyrics seem to embody a sense of determination, uncertainty, and vulnerability.

One of the most underrated songs ever. I can put this just with "I bet you look good on the dancefloor" and "Are you gonna be my girl" as a modern rock 'n roll hit. Keep going guys!

Really?! I found it extremely clichĂš, like it screams "we grew up on british indie poprock bands, so we tried to copy all of them in one song."
