Land   Verenigde Staten

In 1994 vormen Patrick Monahan, Jimmy Stafford en Scott Underwood in San Francisco de band Train. Na wat personele wisselingen voegen zich ook Johnny Colt en Brandon Bush zich bij de band. In 2001 wordt Drops Of Jupiter hun wereldwijde doorbraak. Het nummer bereikt in de Top 40 de derde plaats.

Jarenlang lijkt de groep het bij één hit in ons land te houden. Toch komt er bijna tien jaar later een meer dan succesvolle opvolger met Hey Soul Sister. De single staat zeven achtereenvolgende weken op nummer 1 en wordt hun grootste hit in ons land. Ook de opvolgers Shake Up Christmas en Drive By weten de top 10 te bereiken.

De drie singles van het album California 37, 50 Ways To Say Goodbye, Mermaid en Bruises (met Ashley Monroe), komen niet bij de beste 10 terecht.

In september van 2014 verschijnt het nieuwe album, Bulletproof Picasso, waarvan Angel In Blue Jeans als eerste de Top 40 bereikt. Later wordt ook de titeltrack van het album als single aangemerkt.
Eind 2015 maakt Train een compleet album met kerstnummers. Een cover van de klassieker van Slade, Merry Christmas Everybody, wordt als single aangemerkt.

Songtekst

On the other side of a street I knew, stood a girl that looked like you
I guess that's deja vu, but I thought this can't be true
'Cause you moved to west LA or New York or Santa Fe
Or where ever to get away from me

Ooh, but that one night, was more than just right
I didn't leave you, 'cause I was all through
Ooh, I was overwhelmed and frankly, scared as hell
Because I really fell for you

Ooh, I swear to you, I'll be there for you, this is not a drive by y y y y
Just a shy guy, looking for a two ply, hefty bag to hold my y y y y y y love
When you move me, everything is groovy, they don't like it sue me, hmm the way you do me
Ooh, I swear to you, I'll be there for you, this is not a drive by y y y y

On the other side of a downward spiral, my love for you went viral
And I loved you every mile, you drove away
But now here you are again, so let's skip the "how you been"
And get down to the "more than friends" at last

Ooh, but that one night, was still the highlight
I didn't need you, until I came to
And I was overwhelmed and frankly, scared as hell
Because I really fell for you

Ooh, I swear to you, I'll be there for you, this is not a drive by y y y y
Just a shy guy, looking for a two ply, hefty bag to hold my y y y y y y love
When you move me, everything is groovy, they don't like it sue me, hmmm the way you do me
Ooh, I swear to you, I'll be there for you, this is not a drive by y y y y

Please believe that when I leave
There's nothing up my sleeve, but love for you
And a little time to get my head together too

On the other side of a street I knew, stood a girl that looked like you
I guess that's deja vu, but I thought this can't be true, 'cause

Ooh, I swear to you, I'll be there for you, this is not a drive by y y y y
Just a shy guy, looking for a two ply, hefty bag to hold my y y y y y y love
When you move me, everything is groovy, they don't like it sue me, hmm the way you do me
Ooh, I swear to you, I'll be there for you, this is not a drive by y y y y
