A look at Last Train Home song review

The song starts with a vintage setup of the stage that has a soft colour palette and soft lighting. It is nostalgic cover art, with an 80's vibe. The video shows John singing while holding a pink electric guitar and his band recording their live performance. The footage complements the reflective tone of the track and also comprises the BTS footage where the band members can be seen enjoying while recording music. John is in hope of someone to hold him as he sings, “If you wanna know me, then you gotta know me through and through/And if you’re gonna hurt me, then you gotta hold me next to you.” The chorus says, “No matter how you work it, things go wrong/I put my heart where it don’t belong/So if you’re coming with me, let me know/Maybe you’re the last train/Maybe you’re the last train home.” The music video is directed by Cameron Duddy and Harper Smith and the video also features a cameo appearance from Maren Morris.
