Here is the next one. :)

The mix is just a progress mix, i.e. it was developed together with the song, and will be replaced with a fresh mix once I'm in the mood and have enough time. I think it isn't too bad to listen to though. :)

Enjoy (hopefully)!

[Am]Sitting here [Em] watching people board.
[Am]Where are they now and [F]what are they racing toward?
[G] Faces are bent like [C] little emoji signs.
[Dm]Happy or tense; [Gsus4]emotional mid-life grind.

Musical interlude:
Em   Dm    Gsus4    G

[Am] Writing down [Em] bits of this and that.
[Am]Keeping tabs; who [F] steps on first and who is last.
[G] Featuring lives [C] speeding along but some are slow.
[Dm] Traveling w/friends or [Gsus4] traveling all alone.

[C] Train Spotting; [G] all kinds of faces
[Am] Telling stories from [F] all different places.
[C] Yo, what's your name? [G] where do you come from?
[Am] And are you going to? Or is [F] there something you're running from...  [F] [G]

[Am] Annie is dressed up; [Em]Two brothers are laughing.
[Am] Standing room only [F] for Caleb and Jessie.
[G] Jacob is worried [C] he'll miss his connection.
[Dm] Elle sits penning [Gsus4] all her reflections.

Bridge:
[Em]Lovers in the [Dm]night saying [C] goodbye.
[Em]Families taking photos, [G]remembering close ties.
[Em] Bustling and hustling[Dm] they're moving toward life. [C]
[Em]Adventures [Dm]await them...hear the whistle [G] cry.

Thanks, Alex & Kari!

Kim rerecorded her vocals with a new mic - if nothing unexpected happens, I'll try to do a "real" mix this weekend. If not - then next weekend. :)

Thanks again! :)

I've updated the mix with Kim's new vocal take in the meantime - but other than that, it's still the same old progress mix. I don't think I can do a full fresh mix too soon, I must forget this song first ...
