"Just Another Plane" is a song by Canadian country singer-songwriter Carolyn Dawn Johnson. The song is a poignant tribute to the bittersweet moments of reunions and goodbyes that occur at airports. The opening verse describes the routine landing of a plane, but to someone waiting at the airport, it represents much more than just another plane. The chorus describes the anticipation and anxiety of waiting for someone special to disembark from the plane: "There's someone on board I'm waiting for, it's so much more to me than just another plane". The song then shifts to a more personal story, as Johnson recounts her own experience of waiting at an airport and watching someone she loved leave. She recalls the loneliness and sadness of that moment, and the way that everyone around her seemed to look away. The chorus repeats with even greater emotional weight, as Johnson sings about the time it takes to open the door and the hope that someone special will return. She concludes on a hopeful note, singing about the possibility of reunion and the joy of finally seeing loved ones again. Overall, "Just Another Plane" is a heartfelt and emotive tribute to the universal experiences of waiting, longing, and hoping at airports. The song speaks to the power of these moments to capture both the ordinary and the extraordinary, and the value that we place on the people who make them so meaningful.
