Single Review: Railroad For Two

I had the privilege of listening to another cracking song by Mini Simmons. Their latest release Railroad For Two hit my ears and I am happy to say, my heart was warmed by such a melodic and poignant song that is perfect for any setting where peace and calm are the order of the day.

The song starts with a beautiful sounding piano piece that really sets the scene in terms of where your head space is about to be carted off to, and believe me when I tell you, it is good, it is really good. Like all good songs, conjuring up memories of years gone by is a must, the song really grips me when the line about English dew on the train platform takes me back to those wet, miserable days in London when growing up. Surprisingly though, my mood is not dampened one bit, on the contrast, the song uplifts me in a way that reminds me of my new home here in New Zealand. So on a personal note, thank you Mini Simmons for unlocking some personal gratitude.

I really love the simplicity of this song, it does not feel laboured or too long. At just over four minutes long, it has enough life in it to make it a good amount of time to squeeze every last iota of goodness from its belly. Mini Simmons continue to release really sold numbers in my humble opinion, I am willing to go toe to toe with anyone who thinks otherwise, though in a peaceful, nonviolent way, and preferably, whilst listening to this song.

Get yourself involved and have a listen, you will not be disappointed, this gets a very healthy 3 ½ out of 5 stars for me.
