outdoorflygirl 0 #1 December 26, 2004 I am curious what music skydivers listen to on their way to the dropzone. Or what music inspires you to go skydiving? For me, it is generally Incubus.___________________________________ Yeah, I know better. PMS #341 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just play my normal radio station. But, one day I had the “Faithless” CD “No Roots” playing super loud in my loft as I was taking a shower getting ready to head to the DZ… The music on the CD is very emotional in that it pulls you in manipulates your mood like good trance or even Pink Floyd, if you are into those genres. The following lyrics I thought were especially relevant to skydiving off the No Roots album, and were somewhat motivational when I was first starting: “I Want More, Part II” Decisions based upon faith and not fear. People live right now and right here. “Bluegrass” …Born to fly but we stay grounded and I don't know why We have a powerful tool, no need to cry With it you separate the truth from a lie The point I wanna make, Is you could never escape from your fate, The mistake is to take without giving. So, break the tradition. Make a decision, cause no matter how hard you try You're still in prison, If ya born with wings and you never fly Listen, you don't stop, Especially when the going gets rough. That's when it's real And I love that stuff… Anyway – now that CD is to me = Skydiving = My happy place… Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Kris 0 #12 December 27, 2004 Whatever happens to be on my XM radio...Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Jskydiver22 0 #13 December 27, 2004 please dont make me think of that song by tom petty, dont even say the name of that song.
