The wildly popular band, Train, released their first album in 1998. Nine years and two Grammy's later, the band found themselves on a break and pursuing individual projects. For lead singer, Pat Monahan, "Last of Seven" was it. Being the youngest of seven children, Monahan used his position in the birthing order as an album title. The 41 year old from SanFrancisco via Eerie, PA brings a laid back Northern California groove to his first and only solo album. Monahan is a romantic, which becomes the prevailing theme on this album, perhaps on no other track more than "Her Eyes", an ode to a woman in the singer's life with a carefree and optimistic outlook. The whole album, however is not so upbeat and 'pop'. The track "Two Ways to Say Goodbye" in addition to being the most popular single off this album, is more about the hardest part about relationships; breaking up. Monahan writes, "One way is holding on. One way is being strong, there's two ways to say goodbye. Your tears are made of pride. My tears have all been cried...". The band got back together and this is likely to be his only solo work, atleast for the time being.
