 Trains And Winter Rains Enya video picture 1 |
City streets passing by, Underneath stormy skies. |
 Red and blue video picture 2 |
Neon signs in the night, Red and blue city lights. |
 trains rolling by video picture 3 |
Cargo trains rolling by, Once again someone cries. |
 winter rains video picture 4 |
Trains and winter rains, No going back, no going home. Trains across the plains, And in the sky, a star alone. |
 Everytime, it's the same video picture 5 |
Everytime, it's the same. One more night, one more train. |
 no one knows picture 6 |
Everywhere empty roads, Where they go, no one knows. |
 going back video picture 7 |
Trains and winter rains, No going back, no going home. Trains across the plains, And in the sky, a star alone. Trains and winter rains, No going back, no going home. Trains across the plains, And in the sky, a star alone. |

Trains and winter rains, No going back, no going home. Trains across the plains, And in the sky, a star alone. Trains and winter rains, No going back, no going home. Trains across the plains, And in the sky, a star alone. |

Reviews
Trains and Winter Rains was chosen as a single because Enya particularly enjoyes the percussion arrangement in it. Roma describes the song as a "journey from home that everyone must make when they start to get too comfortable." Enya said: "I find traveling by train gives you time to think and reflect. The rhythm of a train journey is particularly soothing; it allows you to listen to your thoughts, even plan the future, and daydream especially." Also the gloves in the music video hold a special special significance for her: "I remember wearing gloves for the first time when I left home for College. They were my Mother's gloves, and a source of comfort. For me, singing the lyric, I put my own memories into it." (Billboard Magazine, 2008) Trains and Winter Rains was the first song to be taken from the album and is my favourite so far. Despite the fairly 'normal' verses, the chorus bring us a lovely upbeat (well as upbeat as Enya can get) more upbeat than the rest and she's possibly the only woman who can singe the same line three times and call it a chorus. (FemaleFirst, Nov. 2008) Trains and Winter Rains is quite perky as well, but with drums, chants and wood blocks more typical of Enya's repertoire. (The Badger-Herald, Nov. 2008) |
