pinkfairy 0 #1 January 30, 2007 For some reason, they play songs on the radio and everywhere else, that are clearly written about skydiving. Is it only me who notice? The lyrics are full of words like "flying" "jumping". I mean, this should be chrystal clear. Examples? Well: Lenny Kravitz: Fly Away (obvious) Madonna: Jump! (also obviuos) Moby: We are all made of stars (about building large formations) Smash mouth: All Star (Well, not directly, but every time I hear this song, I get this picture in my head of a big, fat, unshaved and slightly smelly freeflyer in a green jumpsuit doing a smiling sitfly exit from an Antonov AN-28. "Didn't make sense not to live for fun"). And I think I heard something about freefalling on the radio today, but didn't catch the title. Anyone else who has examples of this? Well this just shows how privileged we are. Everyone else is dreaming about flying, but we get to live that dream. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet.

Jewels 0 #4 January 30, 2007 Josh Groban--"Let Me Fall (From Cirque Du Soleil)" Let me fall Let me climb There's a moment when fear And dreams must collide Someone I am Is waiting for courage The one I want The one I will become Will catch me So let me fall If I must fall I won't heed your warnings I won't hear them Let me fall If I fall Though the phoenix may Or may not rise I will dance so freely Holding on to no one You can hold me only If you too will fall Away from all these Useless fears and chains Someone I am Is waiting for my courage The one I want The one I will become Will catch me So let me fall If I must fall I won't heed your warnings I won't hear Let me fall If I fall There's no reason To miss this one chance This perfect moment Just let me fallTPM Sister #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy_Copland 0 #8 January 30, 2007 Thrice - The Melting Point of Wax I've waited for this moment All my life and more And now I see so clearly What I could not see before. The time is now or never This chance won't come again Throw caution and myself into the wind. There's no promise of safety with these secondhand wings But I'm willing to find out what impossible means. A leap of faith. Parody of an angel Miles above the sea I hear the voice of reason Screaming after me "You've flown far too high boy now you're too close to the sun, Soon your makeshift wings will come undone" But how will I know limits from lies if I never try? There's no promise of safety with these secondhand wings But I'm willing to find out what impossible means. I'll climb through the heavens on feathers and dreams 'Cause the melting point of wax means nothing to me. Nothing to me Nothing to me I will touch the sun or I will die trying. Die Trying. Fly on these secondhand wings Willing to find out what impossible means I'll climb through the heavens on feathers and dreams 'Cause the melting point of wax means nothing to me Nothing to me Means nothing to me Miles above the sea.1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit.
