This is actually my favorite song by Tiesto. Reason is that this is one of the few songs that have a nice melody to it after a long bass-filled intro. I was very impressed the first time I listened to the song. The second time I heard it, the intro built up to the body extremely well, I guess I expected a good melodic body in the first place. The primary instrument in this song, if I remember correctly was literally called 'suburban train' or hovering sounds trying to give that 'trainy' feel. Long extended notes of some type of horn and screeching sound makes it sound very much like a train... musicalized. When those long extended notes hit, I feel a surge of energy as if I grabbed onto a train and is involuntarily propelled forward. That is how uplifting and energizing this song is to me. Give it a listen even though the quality isn't so great on youtube.

Here is the song with vocals:

After the vocals are added, I believe it was unofficially named "Urban Train". I believe it was because voices tend to be associated with the more urban areas and if it was just the train, it would be more suburban since there are mroe of those there. Back to the song... The original is better compared to the one with the vocal in my opinion. The high vocal notes fit the music perfectly and add to the 'trainy' sound, but I feel that a song titled after a piece of machinery should not use vocals, but instead everything should be synthesized. Another thing I dislike is that the vocals are no where near energizing as the synthesized melody. Have to applaud the singers for creating a close bootleg version, but it just isn't the same even if it is a good bootlegged version.
