Grounded

This track was born from a real headline: 5,000+ flights canceled or delayed from massive storm system hitting Upper Midwest then East Coast, combined with Hawaii travel shutdowns, March 2026. Muckraker's pop production gives the story the weight of a front-page exclusive — journalism you can feel in your chest. Lines like "Terminal C is a campground, gate 34 is a stage" anchor the track in specifics that generic coverage misses. The mood — anxious, building, resolution — reflects the emotional reality behind the numbers. Every Majik's Studio news track exists to make you feel the story, not just read it.
