“Freight Train and Thunder,” Adam + Attack by Fire's new single, falls into the latter category. It is a thrilling storm of raw feeling and apparent musical genius. It originated from a spontaneous piano session, and the anthemic chorus flows out almost effortlessly. It highlights Adam's talent for channeling inspiration into something unforgettable.
From the first note, “Freight Train and Thunder” takes a hold and won’t let go (much like a rolling locomotive), opening the throttle a little more with every beat. The track expertly pairs an upbeat sound with a compelling story that conveys the urgency of a main character in motion. From the pulsing rhythm to the soaring vocal delivery, every element drives it home with the urgency and power behind the song’s theme.
Adam’s ability to tell a story is as arresting as his musicianship. The lyrics tell a story that makes you experience it. The composition is cinematic in scale, as though the listener is buckled in for a journey through squalls and far-off highways, pursuing something always one step out of reach. Adam + Attack by Fire is why melody + emotion are there to take your place.
“Freight Train and Thunder” is a story. As infectious as it is passionate, it’s a song that stays with you long after the last note has been struck. Whether you're a longtime fan or a new arrival, you won’t be able to ignore this release.
