Where Have We Been? (Intro)

What you are about to hear is a list
Answers to the question
What are the sounds you miss hearing?
Where have we been?

The atmosphere of a busy pub
The chinking of glasses
The waiter asking, "Is everything alright with the food?"
The cry of karaoke
The voice of a quiz master
"Do you want ice in your drink?"
Music changing, moving from one room to another

Drunken conversations with strangers in the restroom
High heels
The bartender calling, "Last orders" (last orders)
Balloons popping, a reception desk bell
The chant for an encore and the sound of an applause
When the music stops at the end of the night
The laugh of a friend

Where have we been?

The alarm clock
A dog barking
The rolling shutters of shops opening
A distant busking piano down the street
Train station madness
Mind the gap
Planes flying overhead
The rumble of conversations
A lecture theatre
Where have we been?

The sound of two strangers bumping into each other
The mumbled apologises and the gazed silence that follows
A deep conversation about nothing important, yet everything important
The sigh from an embrace
The three words we haven't heard in a very long time

The sound of good news
The sound of the ocean
And the sound of silence
Meaningful silence

Welcome to chapter two
"The Fire"
