Silence in the Train is a song I wrote about leaving Japan. I had many friends in Japan, and several of them came to see me off at the airport. Naturally, since they didn't drive to the airport, they took the train home. I was later told that it was completely silent in the train. My friends couldn't find any words to say, and they would be missing me sorely.
I've had a lot of people tell me they didn't really understand what this song meant. I feel that the music adequately represents the emotion of the track. Suffice to say, it's a song about entering a new season in life. A new season for me, moving back to Canada, and a new season for my friends, who were about to enter High School and would be missing a close friend.
