Melody on the metro


Normally the sounds that form the soundtrack to a rail journey in Metropolis are the whooshing of doors, the clacking of heels, announcements in English and Arabic, multilingual chatter. If you want music, you need an iPod or mp3 player. Right?
Well, most of the time, right. But not on the 5th of June. That day, a little after noon on the Green line headed towards Etisalat, the PA system was used for something beyond the usual fare- a melody!
No idea what song that was. I think it was just one composition playing in a loop, like hold-please music.
