"Last Train Home" was the second single from Start Something, the second album by Welsh rockers Lostprophets, and it went to radio at the end of December 2003. Eric Valentine produced it, and it's built for maximum lift: a bruising riff, a surging rush and a chorus the size of a stadium, with just enough grit left in the guitars to keep it honest.

It became the album's most successful single by a mile, and the band's breakthrough in America, where it went to number one on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart in spring 2004 and dented the Hot 100. Back home it was their highest-charting single yet, and it took the Kerrang! Award for Best Single.
