Happy Station
Ben Liebrand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Very special people you can meet at the station
Station, happy station (oh, happy station)
Glad and smiling faces come from different places
My suitcase and me we'll take a trip
It's a magic journey, I feel like burning
Lucky guy, follow me, you'll be alright
I'm crazy, don't you know
Would you like to do it?
Well, it's not, not too late
Tell me what you like
It could be so fine.
Come into my train, I can get you higher
You're the best, best, honey
The best, best lover tonight
Station, happy station?
Come with me and take the train
I don't want to stop here, wanna go there
(Go where?)
Where I'd like to see one million places
(What kind of places?)
Midnight is coming, follow me
Station, happy station?
Come with me and take the train...

This was such a great remix and I sit here watching the tape edit points flash by with a big grin on my face. Thank you Ben.

The sound of a Reel to Reel is far the best format in the world!!! Long life to tapes!!!

At the time I in the 80's I was also taping your phenomenal Grandmixes from Radio Veronica on Friday. My parents were almost crying when I turned on your music in my room at their home. 😂 For me and a friend you were the inspiration to start together a drive in disco in the early 90's when we were 12 years old. When we were 16, we sold the drive in disco and started to study and work in another branche. Thank you for your inspiration! This mix I taped also on my cassette player 35 years ago as a child from 7 or 8 years old.

Heel veel mensen begrijpen vaak niet wat een talent je nodig had om dit soort mixes te maken met de technologie van toen. Heb het zelf nooit gedaan maar ik me voorstellen dat het knippen van de tape zeer precies moest gebeuren. Vandaag met onze moderne technologie is alles zoveel eenvoudiger geworden... neem nu Ableton bijvoorbeeld, hoe makkelijk, en sneller, het is met deze technologie loops te creëren. Fantastisch, hoed af!
@Sprouxi
Omg 1 of my favorits in the 80's super ^^
@homemixer
En na al die jaren nog steeds in geweldige kwaliteit en geen drop-outs... geweldig

HI Ben. So wonderful to see the original master tape with all the splices of it. Reminded me my days at studios, cutting and remixing like Liebrand and Sanny X. I surprise to see the master tape is 7.5 IPS not 15 but still sounds great. Reel to reel sounds fantastic, best analogue source back in the days and still is. Thanks for shearing.
