indigo la End "The Night Train Runs"

The guitar sounds really cool and gives a bright, upbeat feel, but the lyrics are heartbreaking.

It’s a song that expresses the bittersweet feelings of a girl who, once she falls in love, wants to prolong the end, can’t easily forget, and doesn’t want to forget.

I also love how the feelings for the person she likes are expressed as a night train—it’s so indigo-like.
