Songs about skydiving!

Recommended Posts

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.

I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

That would be Tom Petty - Free Falling;)

She’s a good girl,loves her mamma, loves je -sus, and america
too.She’s a good girl, crazy ‘bout elvis, loves horses,
and her boyfriend too.And it's a long day, livin’ in
reseda, there’s a freeway, runnin’ thru the yardAnd i’m a
bad boy, ‘cause i don’t even miss her, i’m a bad boy, for
breakingAnd i'm free, free falling.Yeah
i'm free, free falling.And all the vampires
walkin' through the valley move west down venturaBoulevard.And all the bad boys are standin' in the
shadows, and the good girlsAre home with broken hearts.I wanna glide down over mulholland i wanna write her
name in the sky.I'm gonna free fall out into
nothin', gonna leave this world for a while.

Noooobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!!! M.P.F.C.

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 fall

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.

Until morale improves, the beatings will continue.

Which is exactly what we do...we just change our minds every time. Damn us who can't make a decision and stick with it. :|
