Lior Golan boards the “MIDNIGHT TRAINS” for a natural journey back to himself

Some musical journeys start with a clear destination. Others take detours and rough patches of road, and take their time before finally arriving where they are supposed to be. For Lior Golan, “MIDNIGHT TRAINS” is precisely that kind of journey a deeply personal milestone and the culmination of a story that has been four years in the making.

This is Lior Golan’s first professionally recorded project, so the five track EP is especially important. The recordings sat on his laptop for four years as he fought his demons, worked through his personal issues, and finally got his life back on track, sober and focused. Now, the recordings have been turned into a full fledged project, a vital chapter of his life.

At 23:32, “MIDNIGHT TRAINS” consists of five songs, “Cruel Wind,” “Midnight Train,” “Keep Me Hanging On,” “1991,” and “You Tried Your Best.” The EP is not just a collection of songs, it feels like a personal timeline shaped by reflection, struggle, perseverance, and the decision to keep moving forward.

The title “MIDNIGHT TRAINS” evokes movement through darkness and fits the story behind the project. Something is compelling about hearing a body of work left alone for years finally come into its moment. This EP is more than just a professional recording milestone for Lior Golan. It is the distance from where he was to where he is now. Persistence pays off. After years of wrestling with his demons and rediscovering sobriety and focus, “MIDNIGHT TRAINS” is proof of persistence.
