Last Train Home

"Last Train Home" is the third single from Liechtensteinian singer Dahlia taken from her debut album "Chasing Shadows" (2013) and features British singer Pandora. The song was originally released as a promotional track alongside the release of the album in 2013, where it charted at #6 on the Digital chart and went on to spend a record breaking 13 week run on the chart, which is to date the longest chart run ever on that chart. The fan favourite song was chosen to be the third single from the album in 2015. The song tells the story of a girl returning home after having her heart broken. It also has an underlying focus on her concerns relating to her native Liechtenstein specifically where "being different is not really accepted" and that "the worst situation would be failing in my dream and having to travel back home".

Background
Upon the release of "Chasing Shadows" in June 2013, "Last Train Home" was released to the Digital chart alongside the album's release as a promotional single. It spent 13 weeks on the chart, earning it a record for the longest chart run on the download chart, despite no official release. It peaked at #6 whilst charting. When the album was released, both fans and critics regarded "Last Train Home" as the stand-out track on the album. There were many petitions put online by fans for "Last Train Home" to be released as a single. In 2015, after confirming that "Last Train Home" would be a single, Dahlia revealed "we always knew it would be a single, it's everyone's favourite song on the album, but we didn't want to release it early on in the album campaign, we'd rather it was a bit later just to keep the success going." The release of the song also marks Pandora's first chart appearance in two years.

Critical reception
"Last Train Home" received universal acclaim from music critics. Rick Florino of Artist Direct gave the song 5 out of 5 stars, calling it "Oscar-worthy", with "a cinematic heft to the track that makes it utterly vivid and vibrant." Florino also praised Dahlia's performance, calling it "one of her best ever, fortifying the hook and harmony masterfully." Lewis Corner of Digital Spy praised Dahlia for "reminding us why she always sounds infinitely better when heading up a ballad", calling it "a beautifully simplistic ode to heartache that evidently connects."

Jon O'Brien of ''Yahoo! Music'' noted that the song features Pandora's "most restrained and indeed impressive vocal", calling the song " as emotive as it is theatrical." Melinda Newman of HitFix praised Dahlia for "show[ing] admirable restraint vocally, beautifully pairing with Pandora's vocals." Sam Lansky of Idolator wrote that the song "was already pretty heartrending, but Dahlia's vocals provide some lovely support and additional pathos; it's a relief to hear that she enriches, rather than overwhelms, the track." Bradley Stern of MuuMuse praised the "slow, sad piano melody", the "mournful strings," calling it "a haunting production;– showing that less is often more."
