This series will include as many of my all-time
favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak). Now, each one included in each edition will
have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination,
but they will not be numbered. For I
just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others. So, this will not be a countdown, but if you
are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter. Besides, with no countdown, this could go on
forever and ever! Oh, and despite the
fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite
as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make. For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by
nature.

Learning to Fly
Pink Floyd
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
Fatal attraction
Is holding me fast
How can I escape
This irresistible grasp
Can't keep my eyes
From the circling sky
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 find my way home
Unladened
Empty
And turned to stone
The soul intention
Is learning to fly
Condition grounded
But determined to try
God keep my eyes
From the circling sky
Tongue-tied
And twisted
Just an earth-bound misfit

Hello again, this
is now 129.4.
129.4, it's to go.
You may commence
your takeoff, winds over 10 knots.
3-8-Echo.
Easy on the brakes.
Take it easy. It’s gonna roll this time.
Just hand the power
gradually, and it...
Above the planet
On a wing and a prayer
My grubby halo
A vapor trail in the empty air
Across the clouds
I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner
Of my watering eye
To 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 mind
From the circling sky
Tongue-tied
And twisted
Just an earth-bound misfit

Run and tell all of the angels
This could take all night
Think I need a devil to help me
Get things right
Hook me up a new revolution
‘Cause this one is a lie
We sat around laughin’
And watched the last one die
Now I'm lookin’ to the sky to save me
Lookin’ for a sign of life
Lookin’ for somethin’ to help me
Burn out bright
I'm lookin’ for a complication
Lookin’ ‘cause I'm tired of lyin’
Make my way back home
When I learn to fly high
I think I'm done nursin’ patience
It can wait one night
I'd give it all away
If you give me one last try
We'll live happily ever trapped
If you just save my life
Run and tell the angels
That everything's alright
I'm lookin’ to the sky to save me
Lookin’ for a sign of life
Lookin’ for somethin’ to help me
Burn out bright
I'm lookin’ for a complication
Lookin’ ‘cause I'm tired of tryin’
Make my way back home
When I learn to fly high
Make my way back home
When I learn to
Fly along with me
I can't quite make it alone
Try to make this life my own
And fly along with me
I can't quite make it alone
Try to make this life my own
I'm lookin’ to the sky to save me
Lookin’ for a sign of life
Lookin’ for somethin’ to help me
Burn out bright
I'm lookin’ for a complication
Lookin’ ‘cause I'm tired of tryin’
Make my way back home
When I learn to
I'm lookin’ to the sky to save me
Lookin’ for a sign of life
Lookin’ for somethin’ to help me
Burn out bright
I'm lookin’ for a complication
Lookin’ ‘cause I'm tired of tryin’
Make my way back home
When I learn to fly high
Make my way back home
When I learn to fly
Make my way back home
When I learn to
