Greetings to all my most cherished readers and music lovers. Let’s give a warm welcome to Upland-based artist SAINT NICK THE LESSER. On 21st January, this artist released a single called “Train Tracks”. Let’s take a closer look at this wonderful song.

The song opens with a very exciting drum-like sound before the guitar melody sets in. This intro piques your interest in the song.

The song’s sad storyline tells a personal story of connection and introspection against the backdrop of a melancholy yet hopeful voyage. The story in the song uses train tracks to symbolize life and time. With time, it talks about how you can never regain lost time and the inevitable nature of time. The song doesn’t end with this lesson about life and time, it also tells us know that there is hope somewhere, probably at the end of the line when, we get off the train, and everything that hurt us, or plagued us, will just slip by and we can look at those memories and laugh about how it didn’t break you ( “but if you get off those train tracks, you can smile and watch it pass”)

“Train Tracks,” influenced by punk, ska, and anti-folk genres, is inspired by musicians such as Laura Jane Grace, Chuck Regan, Tim Barry, and Frank Turner. The vocal performance and instrumentation give life to this song about hope

SAINT NICK THE LESSER’S release, which focuses on perseverance, optimism, and the possibility of change, is honest and emotive in nature, giving listeners a look into his unique storytelling prowess and unshakeable devotion to promoting positivity through music. I loved this song and I hope to hear more music from him
