The sounds from a bathroom, originally titled "Banging on a bathroom door" accompanied by "Water faucet, running".

Famous words, spoken. To a beat.

Just some mix up of sounds created in Logic Pro. Very rough.

Sad news about Nepal plane crash. Scary and tragic. Thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of those on board.
