Listening for a different sound! Nothing chasing, nothing lost! Counting up the silver frost! Easy motion, easy light! Everything is sitting right! Everything is sitting right! [Outro] Sitting right (Mmm-mmm-mmm) Just right _______________________________ #TheLongWayAround #SouthernJazz #ChamberJazz #Americana #AcousticJazz #FilmScore #CinematicMusic #EasyListening #Clarinet #UprightBass #FeltPiano #VintageVibes #CountryRoads #RoadTripMusic #RelaxingMusic
