Send "Sky Diver" Ringtone to Cell

I stood up and took a breath And threw open the bay doors Below the clouds I saw the coast And beautiful Hawaii Leaning back the pilot smiled And shouted have a good trip I signed off and closed my eyes Then I was falling through the sky Leaning back the pilot smiled And shouted have a good trip I signed off and closed my eyes Then I was falling through the sky

    General Comment:I'm amazed at how well the lyrics and background music capture the sense of falling through the air (or what I imagine it as; I have no plans to go jump out of a plane anytime soon). Adam Young is a genius.

    General Comment:I bet he felt that there didn't have to be that much vocals to express this feeling. Just a beautiful instrumental. And that takes talent to figure out. Adam may not be the best singer, but his music is just perfect.

    My Interpretation:This song is telling how someone must feel when skydiving. Jumping off the plane would be were he says "then I was falling through the sky" opening the parachute is the final music instrumental (no vocals).

    I think this song is amazing. My dad used to do sky diving instruction(in Hawaii), so this song is sort of special to me. Besides that, though, it's just a lovely little tune. It always cheers me up on bad days.
