"TRANSCONTINENTAL, 1:30AM" VIENNA TENG (2006)

The best songs are the ones that invite us to be a part of their story. The great ones make us feel like we’ve transported to another place. I wonder if Vienna may have written “Transcontinental, 1:30AM” to be about a long-distance relationship and trying to make it work. But every single time I play it, without fail, I’m brought to a quiet and empty airport terminal in the middle of the night.

“I know we're transcontinental, 1:30 a.m. And there's not even a wire. Just a whispering in air. I know we're transcontinental, 1:30 a.m. But I'm here.”
