For Train has released their new album, For Me, It’s You, and in the case of singer Pat Monahan, he was not talking about his ex-wife. The album comes in light of many professional and personal troubles, one of which was the singer and wife splitting up.

It wasn’t the first divorce in the band. Guitarist Jimmy Stafford separated from his significant other, and acted as a guide for Monahan. The Train frontman talked about how the divorce affected him, professionally.

“I didn’t… Getting divorced, you don’t think about, ‘How is this going to affect my carrer? I think outside people did. We joked around about it for a while like in the band wiht these guys, like, ‘Sweet, man! Now you can hook up with a model. You can get us some sweet press, and we’ll sell tons of records, and you can date whoever!,’ but they know that’s not my personality. I think what it did was when I got to live with it and go through it and end up on the other side and be a far happier person a far more interesting and more open and loving person to be around. That affects everything.”

Train’s first single, “Cab,” was written after the divorce and documents Monahan’s loneliness in his Pennsylvania home. Train has a slew of TV appearances slated including Carson Daly, Jay Leno and Craig Ferguson. The band’s tour starts March 16 in San Francisco.
