The images, the storytelling, and the magic of our creative artists bring back memories that still reside in my soul. Mical Teja’s latest release, Last Train 🚂 , written and produced with Tano, is more than a song—it’s a cinematic journey through heartbreak, history, and heritage. I grew up while trains ran in Trinidad and for those of us who grew up there, the imagery hits deep. I remember the railway system that once connected Arima to Port of Spain, a lifeline of movement and memory now lost to time. Teja resurrects that buried nostalgia, using the defunct rail as both metaphor and memory.
The music video opens with urgency: a phone call pleading to stop a wedding to a “money man from Sando,” and the promise of intervention via the last train. What follows is lyrical magic and the unraveling of late-night calls, emotional entanglements, and the painful clarity that love—however passionate—sometimes needs to end. Acting at the right time can make a significant difference. The final train delivers a powerful truth: "Nobody wins" in a relationship built on longing and compromise.
Is he going to stop the marriage? Well, as the video unfolds, we see the bride still reaching out, even on her wedding day, torn between duty and desire. Teja’s character boards the symbolic last train, heading toward a moment of reckoning. It’s a story of love interrupted, of choosing self-respect over romantic rescue, and of using music to revisit a Trinidadian past that still lives in our bones. To be honest, this is about a woman who is caught between two men, a provider and a lover. The lover, who is Teja, knows three things: he can't give her the life she wants to live, he knows how to make her feel good and loved and finally, he is... the Horner man!
Give credit to the video production team and the actors involved in making this video and storytelling imagery possible. The images, clothing, and old-school look are just wonderful. We applaud Twin Island Company for a job well done!
The story is a masterclass in songwriting. The story draws you into this love story—where cultural memory meets emotional truth. Teja doesn’t just sing; he stages a drama that feels personal, political, and poetic. For Sokah2Soca, the music is the kind of artistry we celebrate: clever, rooted, and emotionally resonant.
Now, after you listen to the song and watch the video, let’s talk: Did the train 🚂 ever run through your childhood too?
