jump song

Recommended Posts

Megadeth's song "High Speed Dirt" from their "Countdown to Extinction" album is actually about skydiving. The band showed up at Skydive Arizona to make tandem jumps, and they wrote the song shortly afterwards, if I remember right... Very fast and high energy song...

Do it if you dare
Leaping from the sky
Hurling thru the air
Exhilarating high
See the earth below
Soon to make a crater
Blue sky, black death
I'm off to meet my maker

Chorus
Energy of the gods, adrenalin surge
Won't stop til I hit the ground, I'm on my way for sure
Up here in the air, this will never hurt
I'm on my way to impact, taste the high speed dirt

Paralyzed with fear
Feel velocity gain
Entering a near
Catatonic state
Pressure of the sound
Roaring thru my head
Crash into the ground
Damned if I'll be dead

Chorus

Jump or die!

Dropping all my weight
Going down full throttle
The pale horse awaits
Like a genie in a bottle
Fire in my veins
Faster as I go
I forgot my name
I'm a dirt torpedo

High speed dirt...

whats your favourite "jump"related song,im a bit of a newcomer to this sport but if and when i improve to solo freefall i think i would have "freefalling" by Tom Petty playing in my mind



I know that the songs they usually put on tandem videos are often not ones that I think are so good... [:/]

I was thinking about this recently, and came up with a few songs that I think are great atmosphere songs for skydives...

Bush - "Comedown"
U2 - "Indian Summer Sky"
Collective Soul - "The World I Know"
Boxelder - "Fly" (Google it!)
David Lee Roth - "Stand Up"

It's My Life by Bon Jovi

yes, a typical song for jump video...It was on my tandem when they showed me walking out to the plane.

Whenever I hear it I remember how excited I was for the first tandem.

Alright I hope I don;t get yelled at for this one but, "masters of the universe" by Juno Reactor. Jeb Corliss used it on his "A Year in the Life" documentary. It's a song I listen to to keep me inspired to lose the weight to make my first jump. Maybe I'll use it on my tandem video (if/when I jump).


The sole intention, is learning to fly.Condition grounded, but determined to try.Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies.Tongue tied and twisted, just an Earth bound misfit.
