''Trains To Brazil'' is the second work from the British Indie Rock band Guillemots released in 2005 . It's a Single containing three tracks and which also was released in limited Vinyl 10".

In an interview for BBC Brazil , MC Lord Magrão , the band's Guitar player, told that the song title "Trains To Brazil" is a "reference to the fatal incident envolving the Brazillian Jean Charles De Menezes " and the band's Singer and Keyboard player Fyfe Dangerfield composed the song in 2002 under the title "Life Song" but the band thought the name unappropriate and when Jean Charles de Menezes died, they decided to change.

Fyfe describes the title track as follows "It was weird; I wrote in 2002 and was sort of thinking about the whole Twin Towers thing, but then a couple of months before the London Bombings we decided to drag this song out and do it as a single, and then all that stuff happened. On my birthday, as fate would have it - 7th July. Very odd. But yes, it's also just a song about appreciating life, I guess."

All of the tracks from this single appeared on the 2006 international release " From The Cliffs ".

B-side " Go Away " also appeared on a compilation CD from British music magazine NME .
