Music - what reminds you of jumping?

Recommended Posts

Quote

For some reason (and I really can't explain it) Jimi Hendrix always makes me think about jumping. I've always told myself I would put together a video to some Hendrix someday.



Purple Haze... "Excussseee me while I kiss the sky" - can't go wrong with that.

Last sunday i had a close call.
Still shaken, I dropped my chute in the packing area and went to sit in the bar for a while.
When I entered, this song was coming over the radio:

"Opportunity," by Pete Murray

And so it goes another lonely day
Your savin time but your miles away
Your fly was drownin in some bitter tea
For seeing lost opportunity

Find your mirror go and look inside
And see the talent you always hide
Don't go kidd yourself well not today
Satisfaction's not to far away

Hold on now your exits here
It's waiting just for you
Don't pause too long
It's fading now
It's ending all too soon you'll see

Soon you'll see

Your coffee's warm but your milk is sour
Life is short but your here to flower
Dream yourself along another day
Never miss opportunity

Don't be scared of what you cannot see
Your only fear is possibility
Never wonder what the hell went wrong
Your second chance may never come along

Hold on now your exits here
It's waiting just for you
Don't pause too long
It's fading now
It's ending all too soon you'll see

Soon you'll see

Hold on now your exits here
It's waiting just for you
Don't pause too long
It's fading now
It's ending all too soon you'll see

Soon you'll see [x5]

Yeah, for me it's whatever was popular on the radio in the fall of 1978. I was working as a packer/rigger at a DZ then.

I want to kiss you all over
Paradise by the dashboard lights
Three times a lady
Hot child in the city
Copacabana
Hot blooded

You get the picture....

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Static X - Push It. Song I heard when I went to do my very first jump (tandem) and it seemed so perfect. I usually have Static X playing on the way to the zone. Course, I try to fit in Mudvayne with 'Not Falling', Stabbing Westward 'Save Yourself', Velvet Revolver 'Fall to Pieces', Atreyu 'Becoming the Bull', few others. It's usually anything fast and metal. If I think of any others I'll reply again. :)

Learning to Fly

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone

A soul in tension that's 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, I

Friction lock - set.
Mixture - rich
Propellers - fully forward
Flaps - set - 10 degrees
Engine gauges and suction - check
Mixture set to maximum percent - recheck
Flight instruments...
Altimeters - check both
(garbled word) - on
Navigation lights - on
Strobes - on
(to tower): Confirm 3-8-Echo ready for departure
(tower): Hello again, this is now 129.4
(to tower): 129.4. It's to go.
(tower): You may commence your takeoff, winds over 10 knots.
(to tower): 3-8-Echo
Easy on the brakes. Take it easy. Its gonna roll this time.
Just hand the power gradually, and it...

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
