StopThisTrain is actually kinda dark when you listen to the lyrics, nice sound though | |

This is my favorite track from PlectrumElectrum. "She made me glad to be a man" | |

I think this is a great tune and it fits decent on my aoa mixtape ... Even with hanna singing its ok because allo sits in for a few songs too ... Train and another love are the only plectrum songs that i can listen to and enjoy | |

ok tune for emancipation or mayte's album, but very weak for a rock album like PlecElec. the drums are so tinny and weak - why didn't he use hannah? it's very straight forward and by the numbers - very monotonous, where's the experimentation - even a solo or breakdown would of made it more interesting, but it just plods on. | |

Love this song. It doesn't feature on any of my prince play lists though, even the plectrum electrum/AOA one. Put it on my 100% reggae mix and fits in great on there, which is rare for a prince song. Blue light excepted!  | |

I don't mind the song, but it's out of place on the album. Seems unnecessary. Plus I don't really rate Hannah as a vocalist. I would have preferred to hear this sung by Prince or maybe one of his plethora of other female vocalists. Toejam @ Peach & Black Podcast: http://peachandblack.podbean.com

If you're going to read it as dark then it's way more than kinda dark. Suicide is very very very dark. What? | |

I removed this tune and put Live Out Loud in place of it.
I agree it does not fit whatsoever with the album. I was kind of suprised to hear a song like this on what is actually a great rock/alternative album. Threw me off. Straight Jacket Funk Affair
Album plays and love for vinyl records. | |

I'm not sure where people are getting a suicide message in this song. I thought "Stop this train, and never get back on," was referring to a train of thought, i.e. "I'm going to try to stop thinking about you, and get you off of my mind." "That's when stars collide. When there's space for what u want, and ur heart is open wide." | |

From people who have taken their lives due to a broken heart. The train could be a real train - they want to go back home to the person they love. The train could be a train of thought. The train could be the life they're living without the love of their life. What? | |

I'm glad it's not just me who didn't get the suicide message. I even Googled the lyrics to see if I missed something and wondered if there was a Jump Off This Train remix Josh done on the quiet.
