The Soundtrack That Should Never Have Been

You know that feeling when you get to the airport, and that idea of going away - finally getting to get the hell out of Dodge - really sinks in? And you think to yourself how exciting and new everything suddenly feels. And you also think about what your soundtrack for this trip should be.

Frankfurt Airport decided to answer the latter question on behalf of the millions of people that file through it every year. The result - the one song I hope to never personally own as my traveling anthem. Ever.
Like, ever ever.
I mean - I would rather have All4One's 'I Swear' or The Golden Girls theme song as my traveling anthems. Especially that last one. It at least talks about traveling around the world and back again.

The lyrics:
Just pack your bags and leave, tomorrow’s the big day
Destination Frankfurt, we’re on our way
to a city within a city and a hub full of streams
and impressions, like in our boldest dreams

Chorus

Baby if we try, we can ride across the sky
Heading for this growin’ airport city
Up the clouds along, where the winds ain’t strong
High above Frankfurt Airport City
Frankfurt Airport City

We’re close like never before, to the city you can’t ignore
Located right in the heart of Europe
And behind that significant horizon
It is Germany’s gateway to the world

Chorus

Baby if we try, we can ride across the sky
Heading for this growin’ airport city
Up the clouds along, where the winds ain’t strong
High above Frankfurt Airport City
Frankfurt Airport City

Solo

Chorus

Baby if we try, we can ride across the sky
Heading for this growin’ airport city
Up the clouds along, where the winds ain’t strong
High above Frankfurt Airport City
Frankfurt Airport City…

Now - you have a choice.
You can either subject yourself to the VIDEO or to the SONG
