i want to say it was some guy getting ready to off himself from the top of a building...



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. :|

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.

"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.

*Everyones entitled to be stupid but you are abusing the priviledge

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

(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

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 :)

I believe I can fly - R Kelly (in your right brain)

Creep - Radiohead (in your left brain)

when I jump it goes like that in my head :

I believe I can Fly
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
I believe I can touch the sky
What the hell am I doing here

:D:D:D That is pretty much what was going through my head during my training!!! And sometimes it still creeps in when I'm flying today.

I'll probably get stuff thrown at me for even saying this, but...

Good one! how'd I forget That Tim Mc song?
In fact it's based on a true story & they're filming the movie, scripted from the song now!

Show tune! ;)

"...So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately:
"Everyone deserves the chance to fly!"
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell them how I am
Defying gravity
I'm flying high
Defying gravity
And soon I'll match them in renown..."

Defying Gravity, from Wicked

by Megadeth IS a song about Skydiving. Dave Mustaine used to jump regularly until the birth of his son.



Isn't he by any chance the rock star guy who wandered in at Perris during july 4th 2001?

Fly Like An Eagle - Steve Miller Band
Space Cowboy - Steve Miller Band
Magic Carpet Ride - Steppenwolf
Riders On The Storm - Doors

Think I posted this before somewhere, but Powder Blue by Elbow has two versions of the chorus, both of which work pretty well:

Bring that minute back
We never get so close to death
Makes you so alive
I share it all with you
Powder Blue

Bring that minute back
We never get so close as when
The sunward flight begins
I share it all with you
Powder Blue

Beautiful song, too.
