This is a brassy track that bounces along nicely, and is based on a Big Band rhythm. Hopefully it evoking the Big Band/Dance Hall era of the 1940s/50s. The simple lyrics have a modern twist. The saxophone part was created digitally and opened up some interesting possibilities for the future. Fiddly but great fun to do.
Lyrics
V1
Him
I missed my train on platform nine
It disappeared along the line
I saw you there on platform ten
I sneaked a look and looked again
Her
I’d just arrived from out of town
I looked at you and saw you frown
I’m feeling lost so wait a while
How nice it was to see you smile
Chorus Both
We met at the station coffee shop
We chat and we chat and we just can’t stop
So out of time on platform nine
We’re not the first to meet online
Oh yeah
V2
Him
I missed my train it was a sign
I’m glad I stood in platform nine
Her
I’m rarely lost just now and then
So glad I stood on platform ten
Chorus both
We meet the station coffee shop
We chat and we chat and we still can’t stop
So out of time on platform nine
We’re not the first to meet online
Oh yeah
