I know about "Columbia" and it makes sense, but I can't hear it clearly. To 
me it sounds more like "Well, we're.." or, yes "Travelling.." Can you ALL 
hear "Columbia" clearly?

You can find such treasures like:

Night Scented Stock
        Ah-ah-ah ah [repeat 6 times]
        ahh
        Ah-ah-ah ah
        Ah-ah-ah ah
        ooh
        ohh-oh-ohhh [repeat 6 times]


Never transcribed before!!!
Very accurately done!
