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."

Last Train Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've got your eyes paced
You talk talk talk too much
Does it have your touch
You've lost your life sounds
You've got your mind fenced
No one is pickering out
When you walk on one side road
The lyrics of Last Train's song "One Side Road" seem to be addressing someone who has become isolated in their own thoughts and unable to communicate effectively with others. The opening lines suggest that this person is preoccupied with their own internal world ("mind days") and unable to focus on what's happening in the present moment ("eyes paced"). Their constant talking may also be a way to fill a void or distract from their own internal struggles.
The line "does it have your touch" could suggest that this person's speech lacks authenticity or doesn't come from a genuine place. They may be using so many words to avoid being vulnerable or revealing their true feelings. The next line - "you've lost your life sounds" - could be interpreted as a reference to music or other forms of creative expression. It seems as though this person is no longer in touch with the things that used to bring them joy or inspiration.
The final line, "when you walk on one side road," brings the focus back to the person's isolation. They may be walking a path that's not often taken, one that's off the beaten track and away from others. This could symbolize their disconnection from the rest of the world, and the challenge of finding a way back to a more meaningful existence.
