Without a doubt, AC/DC's Thunderstruck is my all-time favorite. The lyrics may not have anything to do with skydiving, but the music fits. I only wish I could change the lyrics to fit it to the sport. The beginning lyrics would go like this:

I was caught... in the middle of a malfunction...
SKYDIVE!
And I knew... there would be no turning back...
SKYDIVE!
And I thought... what could I do?
SKYDIVE!
And I knew, there would be no help, no help from you...
SKYDIVE!
The sound of the wind...
The thunder of impact...
Tore me apart...

That's as far as I got... I know... I know... kind of morbid, isn't it? What the hell... ;)

Another heavy metal band, Megadeth, I think, they had done tandem jumps in Arizona a few years back, and wrote a song about skydiving called "High Speed Dirt". It's got too fast of a tempo for me, but it sounded okay.

I also liked "Learning to fly" by Pink Floyd.
Although "Jump" by Van Halen seems to be the anthem used most often, it's pretty well worn its usefulness, but I still find myself humming the opening guitar riffs from time to time...

Most anything by Joe Satriani are great, such as "Ice 9", "Surfing with the Alien", and "Crushing Day".

Thunder, Thunder
Thunder, Thunder, Thunder, Thunder
Thunder, Thunder, Thunder, Thunder

I was caught
In the middle of a weather storm (skydive)
I looked round
And I knew it was starting to clear (skydive)
My mind raced
And I thought whwhere is my chute (skydive)
And I knew
That it was not packed (skydive)

Sound of the turbine
cranking it up
The voice of manifest
Tore me apart
You've been -( sloted up)

Went down the runway
Broke the limit, we hit the sky
Went through to auckland, yeah auckland
And we had some fun
there were some skychicks
Some jumpers who gave us good vibes
Broke all the rules, played with the tube
Yeah, yeah, blue,blue,blueskies in our mind

Now we're waving at the arms
Could I get up again?
Yeah the manidest were too kind
You're now,blueskie broke, skydive
Yeah yeah yeah, skydive, skydive

Now we're repacking our chute
are there any packers please please?

(solo)

skydive, skydive
Yeah yeah yeah,skydive, skydive

manifest said yeah, it's alright
We're doing fine
Yeah, it's alright
We're doing fine
(So fine)

skydive
Yeah yeah yeah, skydive, skydive
skydive
skydive
blueskies, skydive
skydive
blueskies
blueskies
You are now broke

Old song from 1972 by Ken Tobias "Dream Number 2"

click for sample http://www.kentobias.ca/DreamNo2.mp3

I drew a picture of a pair of wings
because I want to fly
My mother asked me to explain
I said that I would try


But I had a dream the other night about flying
and the man who was teaching me was crying
he said that fewer people were trying
and the art of really flying was dying

La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la

She said it was the strangest thing
that she had ever heard
A man can only be a man
he cannot be a bird

That's not really true I tried to tell her
If you search for love you soon will find an answer
You gotta think so high you're floating like a feather
But you have to learn to leave your head

Just take the wings & fly away
up into the wind
Above the trees you glide with ease
rounding back again

Father can't you hear me, won't you take my hand, yeah
Dying's a part of living, but I know you'll understand

Bt all he did was walk away and leave me
I saw in his eyes he said it cannot be
He (unintelligible) a world of fantasy
how can I tell him this is my reality

Just take the wings & fly away
up into the wind
Above the trees you glide with ease
rounding back again

La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la

I drew a picture of a pair of wings
because I want to fly

La la la la la la la

so many tunes fit differently to each individuals experience.. regardless if the lyrics include flight.

For instance listening to Metallica 5.1 surround- "Nothing Else Matters"...while watching full screen "Year in the Life of Jeb 2003"---blows me away.........
:P:P:PB|B|:P:P:P

"So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters"

I absolutely luv the sounds made by Sigur Ros.
Also tunes like: Castles in the Sky- Ivan Van Dahl
God put a smile upon your face, Long way down, Learning to fly- Foo Fighters, .......

SMiles;)

My latest skydiving song:

David Lee Murphy: LOCO

"And I might be a little bit loco, but it keeps me from loosing my mind, half insaine that's OK a little bit crazy's alright....... Nothing wrong with a little excitment, yea it helps me forget about work, live by the rule that everything's cool as long as nobody gets hurt......"

Yea, love that song..

This is a song that was #1 in Ireland a few years ago, from an Irish band called "Something Happens".
The actual song isn't too bad but I don't think that it will be appearing on any tandem videos anytime soon.

Parachute

Take your parachute and jump, you can't stay here forever
When everyone else is gone, being all alone won't seem that clever
Take your parachute and go, there's gonna have to be some danger
Take your parachute and jump, you're gonna have to take flight

If the wind don't catch you, I will, I will
If the wind's not there, I'm here

Don't look out before you, you know it's a long way down
I'll make it safer for you, your parachute won't let you down
Take your parachute and go, and maybe come back tomorrow
Take your parachute, I am, stop you ever getting sorrow

Cause the winds might change, and the winds might blow over you
And the winds might cut you in two, unless perhaps you get a raincoat

Take your parachute and go, and wave to me as you are falling
Take your parachute and jump, you'll hear a sound, it's just me calling
It's a beautiful day for jumping, and nothing's here to keep you back
I'll make it safer for you, your parachute is on your back

Cause the winds might change, and the winds might change

Take a parachute, I am

And jump (the wind should come and catch you)
And jump (before you hit the ground)
And jump (the wind should come and catch you)
And jump (before you hit the ground)
Jump
Take your parachute

Also, since watching the Tandem Photoography tribute on SkyDivingMovies.com, I have become addicted to Puddle of Mudd's "Spin You Around".[/edit]
