“Waiting on a Train” kicks in with an emotive and energetic intro with the sound of a train, shimmery chords, and upbeat drumming. This magical atmosphere is joined by Pointmeier’s rich and warm vocals. The passionate and conversational delivery will take you there, waiting, as if you’re the main character of the story. After all, haven’t we all waited on a train once?
The song tackles the feeling of waiting for the one you love to take a step. The poetic lyrics will seamlessly stir your heart with their melancholic storytelling. The chorus will hit hard, but you’ll be comforted by the warm and dynamic musicality. Personally, I was blown away by each instrument and how poignantly they sound together, well-placed, conveying the ache, frustrations, and false hope.
Along with Pointmeier’s characteristic singing and moving guitar playing, this masterpiece’s remarkable composition was played by Chad Melchert on drums, Murray Pulver on lead guitar, Travis Switzer on bass guitar, and Jennee Fleenor (Nashville) on fiddle. This collaboration and the heartwarming yet shattering melodies resulting from the polished production add intensity to the theme in the most light manner.
You’ve got to embark on this bittersweet journey and see the magnificent musical potential while waiting on a train. Enjoy listening, and wait to see where Steve Pointmeier will take you next!
