fonz 0 #29 January 31, 2007 Break Away by Kelly Clarkson is a nice example indeed. But it's also a phrase that occurs in many other songs (Mi Chico Latino by Geri Halliwell for example) that otherwise have nothing to do with skydiving. Some more examples: Damn Yankees - High Enough Fatboy Slim - Bird of Prey Geri Halliwell - Scream If You Wanna Go Faster Alphons (the list is longer than you might think)And five hundred entirely naked women dropped out of the sky on parachutes. -- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GravityJunky 0 #30 January 31, 2007 "A Feeling Like That" I stepped out into the blue, felt the wind hit my face, Before my chute opened, I felt my Heart race, I was falling, Oh but that's just falling. Off the coast of Australia I dove way down deep, For all that, I saw; that Great Barrier Reef, It was nothing, compared to you... it was nothing I got lightning in my veins, and thunder in my chest. All tangled up with you and trying to catch my breath. I've been chasing that sensation halfway 'round the world. And lookin' back on what we had; Well, I've done it all, I've seen it all, but I can't seem to find... a feeling like that. I wound up in some small town in Spain, running with the bulls, Trying to catch another thrill, with a thousand other fools. We were running, oh but that's just running. When I started pushing 30, it started pushing back. Well how was I to know, 'till now, that you'd be such a hard act, to follow...Now nothing seems to feel like that. I had lightning in my veins, and thunder in my chest. All tangled up with you and trying to catch my breath. I've been chasing that sensation halfway 'round the world. And lookin' back on what we had; Well, I've done it all, I've seen it all, but I can't seem to find... a feeling like that. It's like flying down some back road at midnight, with your eyes closed & the headlights off. Girl I've been searching everywhere, but I can't find that feeling anywhere. You're all I want now, All I want... Is that Lightning in my veins & Thunder in my chest. All tangled up with you, and trying to catch my breath. I've been chasing that sensation, halfway 'round the world... And looking back, on what We had; Well I've done it all and seen it all, but I can't find; A feeling like that. That's right, I've done it all and seen it all, but I know I'll never find another... A feeling like that.*My Inner Child is A Fucking Prick Too! *Everyones entitled to be stupid but you are abusing the priviledge *Well I'd love to stay & chat, But youre a total Bitch! {Stewie} Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shell666 0 #31 January 31, 2007 By Great Big Sea "When I'm Up (I Can't Get Down)" I am the fountain of affection I'm the instrument of joy And to keep the good times rolling I'm the boy, I'm the boy, You know the world could be our oyster, You just put your trust in me, Cause we'll keep the good times rolling Wait and see, wait and see....oh wait and see! His exhaltation, a sweet disintegration. A few discolorations, then it comes along up is why he chooses, the kisses and the bruises There ain't nothing he refuses, then it comes along It comes along, and I am lifted, I am lifted, I am lifted! [Chorus:] When I'm up I can't get down Can't get down, can't get level When I'm up I can't get down Get my feet back on the ground When I'm up I can't get down Can't get down, can't get level When I'm up I can't get down Get my feet back on the ground He just needs, something to blind him Something to wind him up It won't take long to find him When it comes on strong. Wise guys are grinning, street lights are spinning The night is just beginning, and then it comes on strong It comes on strong, and I am lifted, I am lifted, I am lifted! [Chorus] Oh it comes on strong, and I am lifted. It comes on strong, and I am lifted. I am lifted, I am lifted! Chorus'Shell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chanti 0 #33 February 1, 2007 (Disclaimer: I am NOT a Celine Dion fan and don't listen to her music ... but): When I got back into skydiving after a 6 month break, there was a Celine Dion song that always seemed to be on the radio while I was driving to the DZ. I don't even know the name of the song but the lyrics go something like this: You and I were meant to fly High above the clouds we'll sail across the sky So come with me And you will see That we're soaring That we're floating up so high Cos you and I were meant to fly -Chanti- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenz 0 #34 February 1, 2007 not a song that any of you would actually know cause it's by my bf's band and they're in the middle of recording it.. however it's called "fly away" and a bit of the chorus goes "fly away, fly awayyyyyyyy fly away into perfect skies" works for me :)"life does throw curveballs sometimes but it doesn't mean we shouldn't still swing for the homerun" ~ me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
