Skydiving Related Songs

Recommended Posts

Well I wanted to make a CD of skydiving related songs that I can listen to while I drive to the DZ. Any songs that mention flying, jumping, or personal reasons for jumping are welcome. Here are a few to start off the list:

Third Eye Blind - Jumper
P.O.D. - Alive
Bon Jovi - Its My Life
R. Kelly - I Believe I Can Fly

--------
I am ready to meet my maker. Whether my maker is prepared for the ordeal of meeting me is another matter.

Linkin Park-Pushing Me Away

Heard this on a skydiving video once, it fit really well.

Louis Armstrong-What A Wonderful World
and
Coldplay-Don't Panic, might be good ones for once the chute has opened if the song is being played along with video footage.

-Kramer

The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

I have made this CD myself. Some of my songs are....
Long Way Down-GooGoo Dolls
Beautiful Day-U2
Alive-POD
Lie In Our Graves- Dave Matthews
Dancin Nancies-Dave Matthews
Elevation-U2
But the song that got me the most was So Far Away-Stained.
In fact, I'll never forget the first time I heard it!!! Driving in my car the day after completing my AFF lev 6, the closest I've gotten to the sunset load..the most amazing site I'd ever seen. The view I saw that eve with the sun just starting down on the horizon, brought tears to my eyes. I listened to the words of that song and was cryin like a little girl!!! Sorry, didn't mean to get all sappy:$

Mighty wings - Top Gun soundtrack

Fall free - Alan Parsons

One day to fly - Alan Parsons

Icarus - Alan Parsons
Ever wonder why a canopy company named themselves after a mythical figure who died when his wings failed? From the song -

If we have the means to fly
Some of us will surely die
Being reckless was his only crime

And when the wind gets under these wings
We will feel what freedom brings

Love train - O'Jays (theme song from the 300-way)

Stranger eyes - The Cars
This one isn't about skydiving at all, but the lyrics are eerie:

Well you took the fall
And you floated down
And you made the jump
And then you fell through clouds
And you watched the world meet the ground

Sandman - America

Aint it foggy outside
All the planes have been grounded
Aint the fire inside
Let's all go stand around it
Funny I've been there, you've been here
we ain't had no time to drink that beer

Don't fear the reaper - Blue Oyster Cult

The door was opened and a wind appeared . . .
She had taken his hand
Come on baby
She looked backwards and said goodbye
Come on baby
She had started to fly
Don't fear the reaper

Beautiful Day (U2) and Higher (Creed) are the music for my first jump video.

Another Tom Petty comes to mind, Learning to Fly.

Dreams .... Van Halen

Eagles Fly .... Sammy Hagar

Freebird .... Lynyrd Skynyrd

Given to Fly .... Pearl Jam

Fly .... Sugar Ray

Learn to Fly .... The Foo Fighters

Fly Away .... Lenny Kravitz

Turn Me Loose .... Lover Boy

Time for me to Fly ... REO Speedwagon

Everyday .... Bon Jovi

I actually put these all together on a cd to relate to flying the airplane, so of course I have Pink Floyd's Learning to fly on there too.
...but most of these fit skydiving just as well :)

Tool - Lateralis

"Black and white...are all I see, in my infancy..Red and yellow then came to be..Reaching out to me...Let's me see..There is , so much more, beckons me, to look through to these infinate possibilties...

Then for the kicker, near the end..

"over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind
withering my intuition leaving opportunities behind

feed my will to feel this moment, urging me to cross the line
reaching out to embrace the random
reaching out to embrace whatever may come

i embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired
to fathom the power
to witness the beauty
to bathe in the fountain
to swing on the spiral
to swing on a spiral
to...
swing on a spiral of our divinity and still be a human"


I'm not sure what it is, but I just love this song and it get's me thinking and hyped everytime.

I’m not trying to be morbid here and I know the song title is a bit off but, Led Zeppelin’s “In My time of Dying”. The lyrics are:

“If my wings should fail me Lord, please meet me with another pair”

It can have two meaning. 1. God please let my reserve work. 2. If I burn in please let me into heaven. Take your pick.
"We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies things." CP
