Learning to Fly

(Just clic on the pic to play the vid on youTube.)

Though the song came out in 1991, there is
something about Tom Petty's "Learning to Fly"
that reminds me of so much that has happened
in the world since 2001.

So I decided to put up a link and the lyrics.

"Learning To Fly"

by

Tom Petty

Well I started out
down a dirty road
Started out
all alone
And the sun went down
as I crossed the hill
The town lit up
and the world got still

I'm learning to fly
but I ain't got wings
Comin down
is the hardest thing

Well the good old days
may not return
And the rocks might melt
and the sea may burn

I'm learning to fly
but I ain't got wings
Comin down
is the hardest thing

Well some say life
will beat you down
Break your heart
steal your crown
So I started out
for God knows where
But I guess I'll know
when I get there

I'm learning to fly
around the clouds
But what goes up
must come down

I'm learning to fly
but I ain't got wings
Comin down
is the hardest thing
I'm learning to fly
around the clouds
But what goes up
must come down

I like that song. At the moment I thought you made a post about song made by Pink Floyd but this one is good also. Brings back good memories

if you concentrate hard enough between the two songs: the pink floyd "soaring" and tom petty's "learning to fly," you can see how they fit together, and they are also totally opposite meanings. i love creative people and their use in words and music! good post edward! good comment g!
