"This Train Don't Stop There Anymore" is the final track on Elton John's 2001 album Songs from the West Coast. The song was written by John and Bernie Taupin. The music video was directed by David LaChapelle, and with Pierre Rouger as cinematographer, and presents a younger John played by Justin Timberlake dressed in outfits typical of John in the 1970s; the video also features Paul Reubens of Pee-Wee Herman fame as John Reid, John's manager of 25 years. The song's lyrics detail John's coming to terms with getting older. It was released as a single and reached #24 in the UK Singles chart and was a Top 10 Adult Contemporary chart hit in the US. Gary Barlow provided backing vocals for the track. The arrangement was simple, a throwback to John's early piano-bass-drums combination prior to the arrival of Davey Johnstone. On the track, John plays piano, Paul Bushnell provides bass and backing vocals, and Matt Chamberlain plays drums. Country music artists Rosanne Cash and Emmylou Harris covered the song for the 2018 tribute album Restoration: Reimagining the Songs of Elton John and Bernie Taupin.more »
