Favorite Skydiving Song?

Recommended Posts

My favorite is "Back to the Earth" by Rusted Root (my favorite band to see live.) I finally had it dubbed to some skydiving footage of my balloon jump at Eloy.
Others (not really about "flying" but kinda tie in):
Song 2 - Blur
Ready To Go - Republica
Lust For Life - Iggy Pop
I'm Just a Girl - No Doubt
Insane in the Membrane - Cypress Hill
I'm Free - Soup Dragons (I think)
Going the Distance - Cake (okay, not really, but I love Cake)
"Save me Jebus!" Homer Simpson

It's funny, when I read the subject my first thought was the SCR song... "Him.... him...." :D
As far as jump soundtracks go... Offspring, Rammstein, Green Day are good. I also like the vibe on the Melvin's "Youth of America".

Metallica - Fuel
Metallica - So What
Megadeath - High speed dirt
They're real good for getting me pumped come exit time. I wanna get a solo video put to High Speed dirt, and have the camera guy dump high so I fall out of the picture just before the end of the song where the guy screams and you hear the splat.;)

The Elbow song, 'Powder Blue'. It's doesn't really have the right feel to soundtrack a video, but it's a gorgeous song. And both versions of the chorus lyrics work spookily well for a skydiving theme (although as far as I know it's coincidental):

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

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