AFF iTunes Playlist

The *hugely* ironic part is that Vanessa actually wrote that song for a friend who committed suicide.

I still liked the song

...and the song makes much more sense if you go back to the original lyrics.

 

[SFSC]

To really dredge the old timers.

'You Belong To Me' - Jo Stafford (and I think Patsy Cline also had a version)

'Traveln' Man' - Ricky Nelson. Assuming he did at least some of the traveln' by plane

 

[Nigelinoz]

Not a song but I couldn't let this one go by.
YouTube - Alfred Newman - Airport Love Theme - Great Score
May I also put in a vote for Wind beneath my wings-Bette Midler.
and Fly Away-John Denver (with backing vocals by Olivia Newton-John)

Though not strictly flying related, for those of you who spend too much time in the QP enjoying the bar.......

'Comfortably Numb' - Pink Floyd

 

[Dee Thom]

'Traveln' Man' - Ricky Nelson. Assuming he did at least some of the traveln' by plane

As a point of information, Ricky and his entire band were all killed when the DC3 they were flying in from gig to gig crashed during servere turbulance back in the eighties (if memory serves me right).

Yes I had forgotten about that. I also failed to remember that Patsy Cline was killed in a plane crash in the early 1960's.

IIRC Jo Stafford passed away of natural causes in about 2008.

If we’re going to include artists that have died or otherwise been in air crashes, I’d recommend Aaliyah, though I doubt any of her songs were about air travel

 

[MDC]

Home - Michael Buble!

That was one of our bridal waltz songs at our wedding. Only my close family and friends understood the meaning of that song for us.

It's still on my regular playlist as a song I listen to when I'm feeling a little homesick.

I have one that wife and I love from way back, it's a Little River Band song written by Glen Shorock(?) called " Cool Change", one which John Blackman agreed with me that was the best L.R.B. track of all time. Blackman and I met a few times at the Novotel Twin Waters "Jack Newton Classics', back a few years when I had the money to be a sponser................

Cheers Dee

 

[Flashback]

Ray Charles - Hit The Road Jack

More useless trivia (I know far too much about useless things...) Michael Bublé actually wrote 'Home' when he was in Melbourne one tour

 

[Danger]

Someone has a very different playlist than all of us!

Music to travel to: A 10-song mix-tape

I think that’s why the playlist never "took off". What was asked for was a collection of flying songs, not necessarily songs you’d listen to while flying, which is what the SMH have got

 

[TanyaGordon]

Fly Away -- The Living End
Changing Pilots -- Departure (double points for both song and band name)
Aeroplane -- Bjork
Big Jet Plane -- Primal Scream
Helicopter -- The Bloc Party
Vapour Trail -- Ride

 

[Fantic125]

Pigs on the Wing - Pink Floyd
The great gig in the sky - Pink Floyd
Paper Aeroplane - KT Tunstall
Given to fly - Pearl Jam
Last Stop; This Town- The Eels


Slightly OT, but relevant;

No one knows I'm gone - Tom Waits
Whereabouts Unknown - Rise Against

Scenario:
Daughter rings from school; "Hi Dad, can you pick me up this afternoon?"
Me; "Ah, no, I'm in Bangkok."
Daughter; Oh, Ok, bye." :-|

Now that you mention Cake - The distance (or whatever it's called)

 

[Sprucegoose]

You and I - Celine Dion. This song was recently used in ads for Air Canada.

Only they would!!!

 

[JeniSkunk]

Did some more digging through my music collection and found another 2 tracks about air travel I'd missed
"Weird Al" Yankovic - Airline Amy
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Travelin' Band

Also, where's Cheesy? Wasn't he going to compile the list in the second post in the thread and keep the list up to date?

I'm still here, but have been quite busy with work and travel recently ... and by recently I mean the whole year - so much so that I've finally cracked QF Gold in the last week.

I did keep tabs on the thread trying to categorise all the songs that were listed originally, so I'll add the new ones that have been posted this month and hopefully come up with something in the wee hours of the morning whilst watching the World Cup. I certainly don't like having unfinished projects so rest assured it will get done ... timing is the key!
