For the three musicians of multiplatinum band Train, 2013 has been a year on the road bringing their music to fans around the globe -- and prepping new music. The trio recently sat down with Billboard.com editor M. Tye Comer (@MTye) to talk about their world tour in support of 2012's "California 37" and the process of making that album's follow up. They also took a moment to share and listen to the favorite songs by other musicians that soundtracked their year -- a shortlist that included veteran artists like Justin Timberlake and new faces like Hunter Hayes and Lorde.

TRAIN PHOTOS: Train's Artist Jukebox Session

"We travelled all over the world, from Asia and Australia through all of Europe," frontman Pat Monahan reflects. "It was absolutely, by far, the most fun we've ever had on tour." By the same token, Monahan also says Train spent some of 2013 looking forward, prepping a new album he has set a high standard for. "The expectations that I have for this are too big right now so it's interfering with everything," he says. "But I think it's because I want it to be the next level."

And while Train toured the planet and began making new music, the group also counted themselves fans of some of the great tunes that made 2013 unique. Monahan includes Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Can't Hold Us" among his favorites. "I hope they win a ton of awards this year," Monahan says, listening back to the song in front of Billboard's cameras.
Another young talent, Hunter Hayes, caught the singer's ear when he had the chance to perform with the 22-year-old this year, making Hayes' "I Want Crazy" stick in his mind in the process. At CMT, "Hunter asked me to go sing with him and we did a mashup of [" I Want Crazy"] and [Train's] "Hey Soul Sister," Monahan explains. "It was really stunning to see how talented this kid is. You haven't even seen anything yet."
Train's Jimmy Stafford, meanwhile, praises the work of a familiar star -- Justin Timberlake's "Mirrors."
"Just Give Me A Reason," Billboard Woman of the Year P!nk's song with Fun.'s Nate Ruess, was a surprise favorite of Train's Scott Underwood. Underwood was also partial to newcomer Lorde this year ("For a 16-year-old her voice is so mature and seasoned, and then her lyrics are pretty sophisticated -- so she's kind of got everything going for her," he muses.) He additionally singled out Daft Punk's jam "Get Lucky." "You know what's great about that whole record is the guys who were at the tip of the EDM movement -- everything was so static and digital -- have the grooviest record right now," he says.
Ashley Monroe, who has toured on the bill with Train, also made Monahan's list wit her song "Like A Rose." "She's got the Pistol Annies of course, but this is where she's real magic, all by herself," he says.

Music


Music
Music lesson Staatliche Antikensammlungen 2421.jpg
A painting on an Ancient Greek vase depicts a music lesson (c. 510 BC).






Music is an art form whose medium is sound and silence. Its common elements are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture. The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike; "art of the Muses").[1]
The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of music vary according to culture and social context. Music ranges from strictly organized compositions (and their recreation in performance), through improvisational music to aleatoric forms. Music can be divided into genres and subgenres, although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle, sometimes open to personal interpretation, and occasionally controversial. Within the arts, music may be classified as a performing art, a fine art, and auditory art. It may also be divided among art music and folk music. There is also a strong connection between music and mathematics.[2] Music may be played and heard live, may be part of a dramatic work or film, or may be recorded.
To many people in many cultures, music is an important part of their way of life. Ancient Greek and Indian philosophers defined music as tones ordered horizontally as melodies and vertically as harmonies. Common sayings such as "the harmony of the spheres" and "it is music to my ears" point to the notion that music is often ordered and pleasant to listen to. However, 20th-century composer John Cage thought that any sound can be music, saying, for example, "There is no noise, only sound."[3] Musicologist Jean-Jacques Nattiez summarizes the relativist, post-modern viewpoint: "The border between music and noise is always culturally defined—which implies that, even within a single society, this border does not always pass through the same place; in short, there is rarely a consensus ... By all accounts there is no single and intercultural universal concept defining what music might be."[4]
