Train, 'Hey Soul Sister' (Sessions)

Can't Watch 'Em on 'Today' Show? Watch Them in Our Studio! 

After 2006's 'For Me, It's You,' Train had run off the rails. Despite more than a decade of hits like 'Drops of Jupiter,' 'Calling All Angels' and 'Meet Virginia,' the band's three core members, Pat Monahan, Jimmy Stafford and Scott Underwood, were feeling burnt out and more than a little tired of each other. They parted ways with their future as a band very uncertain.

But after spending three years apart, the trio realized they weren't done with each other quite yet. They reconvened for 'Save Me, San Francisco,' recorded primarily in London with producer Martin Terefe (Jason Mraz, KT Tunstall), with a new, joyous attitude. Not only did they return, they rebounded stronger than ever with the care-free, upbeat 'Hey Soul Sister,' the group's biggest hit in its 15-year history.

At a recent AOL Sessions taping, the band talked about falling in love, Justin Bieber, and its glorious second act.

Monahan has one of the best voices ever. Listen to him do zepplin on utube. Guys like him and Paul Rodgers make it look so easy. Great voices.

I was referring to "Drops of Jupiter". I thought there was a separate comment area for each song. Sorry, if you were confused!

For me, where it all started. First time I saw the video I thought, "I have to get that album!" Helped in the chaos after 9/11 too.
