Since pursuing his lifelong dream of making it in the music business in
2012, Sarantos’ latest release, I Never Catch The Train, is a solid
Americana rock and pop-infused track that’ll make any person groove
along.
Like many musicians, life has always kept Sarantos busy, delaying his
dream of inspiring others with his songs and lyrics. Thankfully, in
November of 2012, Sarantos decided to take the chance and pursue his
lifelong dream after he watched his dad pass away from lung cancer.
Since, Sarantos has released a new song, music video, book chapter, and
poem every month—a sort of prolific nature not every person sees with a
musician.
In a short eight years, Sarantos has released 14 albums with 178
original tracks and seven fiction/fantasy books that correlate with the
songs. He also donates a portion of proceeds to a charity selected by
his fans.
Now with over one million social media followers and 300,000 streams,
Sarantos pledges to continue this habit of releasing an extensive
catalog of music and literature for the rest of his life.
Some might argue that quality is always better than quantity. Still,
Sarantos’ latest track, I Never Catch The Train, proves you can keep the
high-quality nature of an excellent track while keeping a yielding
release schedule.
The track begins with a bass slide into a kick and bass significant key
progression and an Allman brothers-like slide guitar going over it.
After a short few passages, it kicks out into lower gear with Sarantos
precise and story-telling capability.
The pre-chorus kicks off, declaring the days are growing heavy, a notion
that can make any listener feel some relatability when plans don’t go
your way, and you feel left out.
Then seemingly out of nowhere, Sarantos higher register chorus keeps the
audience grooving along. An excellent dynamic shift that keeps the track
exciting and invigorating.
A similar pass occurs again through the verse and chorus right into the
bridge. The bridge is compact and engaging and leads to an alternate
verse directly into the outro chorus.
The song concludes with the intro structure but with Sarantos delivering
a somber and closing vocal point for it. If you’re a fan of grittier
pop-rock you’d hear in a crowded bar on the weekend, Sarantos’ I Never
Catch The Train is the song for you.
The track is also accompanied by an eBook for those interested in
reading some of the literature work from Sarantos. It’s short and sweet
like the track and has pictures to go along with it, enticing anyone to
read along, not just book worms.
With Sarantos’ top five musical influences being Survivor, Journey,
Queen, Michael Jackson, and Ed Sheeran, it’s easy to hear the parallels
with his music. Regardless if you’re a fan of that style of music or
not, it’s exceptionally respectable to see someone be so dedicated to
their craft.
Be on the lookout for more releases from Sarantos’ or shoot over to any
of his pages to hear some of his older releases. His lengthy catalog
surely has a track for every person to enjoy.
