There is no question that Train has had one of the most surprising returns to the mainstream this past year. Their hit Hey, Soul Sister was everywhere, and hit a massive joy with the mainstream. Train definitely has crossed over to a whole new generation. But with the pressure of the people enjoying their latest single, the title track Save Me, San Francisco, it isn't completely in the cards. The song isn't really the best song that Train has made, as much as Hey, Soul Sister has grown on you. That was that way when I first heard it, then fell head over heels with the song. I also though the video, drew in a bit like Huey Lewis & The News's classic If This Is It from 1983. Not a bad concept song, but not honestly their best. I would pass this download up, and stick with Hey, Soul Sister or If It's Love instead.

When you are listening to your 21 year old's music and find yourself dancing, it must be good. Glad to have it on my ipod so I can hear it when I want to.

Train has come to typify the new San Francisco sound. Forget the epicness of Very Best of Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service and Worst of Jefferson Airplane. San Francisco used to be the home of the psychedelic soundtrack of the '60s. It was the home of the Summer of Love, Haight-Ashbury, and liberation in the Castro. Train has now transformed the City by the Bay into pop pablum.

Pat Monahan, when not singing about his chest hair, is singing about hitting the Monterey coast, going to Oregon, but finding his salvation in San Francisco. The chorus is somewhat catchy... but it is definitely Bland on Bland. "Save Me, San Francisco" does a disservice to the diversity that is San Francisco. Monahan doesn't go to La Mission, let alone hit the streets with Lgbt Rights Organizations: Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence He has a mainstream, heteronormative take on the City. Only through a questioning of the heternormative performative nature of gender constructions can a social awakening take place, through a queering of musicality itself.
