Last train home

As usual, I am posting my favorite Christmas commercial from Publix. It may be my favorite commercial of all time.

It reminds me of my youth, for a number of years, from 1987 to 1996, it ran every season.

The music in Last Train Home is from Still Life (Talking) an album by Pat Metheny Group, released in 1987.

To this day, when Pat Metheny is performing, he’ll refer to the song as, “The Publix song.” Publix has a new Christmas commercial every year, but I always hope they will bring it back for nostalgic value, so when I hear it come on, like I did in the “old days,” I would just drop everything and run to the tv to watch and listen.

One thought on “Last train home”

  1. We have a CD of Publix ad music that we used to play when we were on road trips. This is one of the tracks and it always brings good feelings.
