What are some songs that include flying?

Wind Beneath My Wings is OUT.

I'd like something more along the lines of "I believe I can fly... I believe I can touch the sky...", but that's a bit too late [though I am perfectly willing to have it released earlier in this particular universe if I can't find anything else].

I am woefully ignorant of music [just ask Kaylle - I went through the music vids on Annette's site and knew far less artists/songs than I should have] and am open to suggestions.

TIA .

Two come to mind:

Flying Without Wings, by Ruben Studdard

Fly, by Celine Dion

I googled "flying lyrics" and came up with a ton of songs. What time frame are you looking for, Carol? 1993 - 1997?

~Anna

Looking for late 80s probably. Something that Clark might sing in the shower. Hence, at least the chorus of, I believe I can fly.

I googled flying lyrics too and came up with things about time flying and kids flying away etc. but nothing that worked [that I knew anyway but I didn't know most of them].

Thanks guys .

Anyone else?
Carol

Edit: It doesn't have to be a late 80s song - could be Elvis for all I care, just something out by late 80s that wouldn't be too obscure. I can always say that I believe I can fly came out in the 80s in this universe if I need to, but...

What about this? *g*

ETA: Okay, now I\'m just being silly.

~Anna

/me shakes head sadly - really should make sure Anna takes her meds

The first one just might work...

/me tries to envision Clark floating on the shower singing [more than slightly off key]: Believe ir not I'm walking on aaaaair...

Carol [who is still open to suggestions;)]

How about 'Learning to Fly' by Tom Petty? It came out in '91, but you can fudge a little.

What about the song "Flying" by the Nice Little Penguins. I absolutely love that song. I think it was about a penguin who flies for the very first time in his life. Okay, I know that penguins can't fly, but this is still a very nice idea..

Flying

Here I am, I'm on my own
For the first time, really on my own
So will I make it, will it work all right
Can I make it through the night

And I go...

OOoooohh.....
OOoooohh.....
OOoooohh.....
I am flying
In open space

Look at me I’m riding high
I'm the air born master of the sky
And everything beneeth me seems to fade
without a trace without a shape

And I go

OOoooohh.....
OOoooohh.....
OOoooohh.....
I m flying
In open space

And everything beneeth me seems to fade
without a trace without a shape

And I go

OOoooohh.....
OOoooohh.....
OOoooohh.....
I m flying
In open space

Those little green pills? I went off those a few weeks ago. That's how I ended up writing 10 pages of fic and making 80ish icons in the last couple weeks. Don't make me take the pills!

I heard that on the radio yesterday, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I sang at the top of my lungs. I never saw the show, so I'm not sure how I know every word to the theme song, but it's a fun song to sing loud and off key.

~Anna

How about Fly Me To The Moon ?

/me stairs at in box then tries sending Anna subliminal messages... send to Carol don't take the pills send to Carol don't take the pills


Oooo good one Paul!

Hmm ... this is most probably not what you're looking for, but I thought I'll mention it nevertheless

"Fly on the wings of love" The Olsen Brothers .

In the summer night
When the moon shines bright
Feeling love forever
And the heat is on
When the daylight is gone
Still - happy together
There is just one more thing I would like to add
She is the greatest love I've ever had
Fly on the wings of love
Fly baby fly
Reaching the stars above
Touching the sky
And as time goes by
There is a lot to try
And I'm feeling lucky
In the softest sand
Smiling hand in hand
Love is all around me
There's just one more thing I would like to add
She is the greatest love I've ever had
Fly on the wings of love
Fly baby fly
Reaching the stars above
Touching the sky

It's not what you're looking for, but all I can think of is "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Let me sleep on it.

On the wings of love

And yes - the greatest american hero theme. I was 15 when that show first aired and simply adored ralph!

That's funny. I was about to say the same thing.

The theme to Greatest American Hero was on the radio about then (maybe before).
"Looky what's happened to me. I can't believe it myself. Suddenly I'm up on top of the world. It should have been somebody else. Believe it or not, I'm walking on air. I never thought I could feel so free. Flying away on a wing and a prayer. Who could it be? Believe it or not it's just me."

BTW, Elisabeth came to ask me the question, but before she could ask I started singing to myself. "Would you like to Swing on a Star?"

What about

Ready to fly, by Amy Pearson

Fly Like And Eagle, Steve Miller Band ?

Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future

I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
Till Im free
Oh, lord, through the revolution

Feed the babies
Who dont have enough to eat
Shoe the children
With no shoes on their feet
House the people
Livin in the street
Oh, oh, theres a solution

I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
Till Im free
Fly through the revolution

Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future

I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
Till Im free
Fly through the revolution

Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future
