The Weather Station - Airport
The Weather Station’s “Airport” captures that suspended-in-time feeling between longing and departure — tender, timeless, and true.
While writing this, I’m standing — you guessed it — at Dublin Airport, waiting for a bus to the city. Behind me lies a week in Germany; ahead, the next adventure. I’d picked this song back in New York, already thinking of how I might feel in transit — that mix of nostalgia, anticipation, and quiet self-reflection that airports always seem to bring.
“Airport” is one of two new tracks recorded during Humanhood, The Weather Station’s most recent album. Tamara Lindeman has long mastered the art of weaving emotion and observation into something quietly grand, and this new song is no exception — bright and propulsive on the surface, yet deeply human underneath.
Tamara shares:
“There were so many strong songs I left off Humanhood because the album had such a narrative arc to adhere to. ‘Airport’ was one of them that I’m glad to release now. I’ve always hated airports; I find them so dehumanizing. This song tells a story of a person trying to mirror what is around them; that sort of shutting down, not caring, acting like you don’t care even when you really do. At the heart of it though is, of course, an intense longing, and a hope for something alive that feels like it can't be.”
