And finally, just to annoy Tristan when he thought he was getting away with it...

Title: “When the fog rolls in”
Format: Album track
Written by: Pat Monahan, Greg Wattenburh, Butch Walker
Performed by: Train
Genre: Pop
Taken from: California 37
Year: 2012
Acclaim: n/a

Before anyone gives me stick, I'm not a Train fan. I listened to this album thinking it might be good, and the overall impression I came away with was sub-boyband, and an enduring desire not to listen to any more of their material. However there were two songs on it that gave me pause, and I featured them previously in The Playlist of Life under my “More Than Words” section. Of the two, this is the one I like best, which actually closes the album. It's a lovely ballad dealing with the immediate aftermath of a breakup, like immediate: the guy in the song is going back to collect his things, and reminiscing about how things were and the things he'll miss. Fuck Train, yes, but this is a beautiful and delicate song.

Things I like about this :

1. The piano lead
2. The lyric is mostly what impresses me
3. The chorus is pretty great

Things I don't like about this:

Nothing
