My entry must be tooooo obscure :( . But it's such a good song! And the video is pretty impressive also. Roger Hodgson after Supertramp...Had a Dream/Sleeping with the Enemy

Freelancer,

In this particular thread, the idea is to pick a song that at least a large fraction of the readers will guess from its first line. "Name That Tune" is more for less well-known songs.

Glad to have you playing. Feel free to try the other game threads. I have a thread pinned at the top of the forum explaining how the games are played (Except for "TV Mash Up," which is relatively new. You can find out its rules at the beginning of that thread.

Perhaps, but, you'll get the hang of it Freelancer. Now you get to decide whether or not to go again (since technically your still up) or, whether to open this thread up for someone else> that being a free post. Game ON!!! :anim-smile:

Thank you for knowing, I was starting to feel that I was too obscure.

Must be your turn to post one.

I' love to hear your story.

Ok, the story....

I was taking a plane somewhere, for the first time in memory. (I'd traveled by plane as

a VERY small child, but had no memory of it.) I was a touch nervous and traveling alone.

While I sat in the plane, we had a slight delay before takeoff. I had a Walkman on and

was listening to NYC's rock station, 102.7, WNEW. (It existed at the time.)

They announced they were going to premiere the new Pink Floyd album soon. I figured I'd

miss it and be out of broadcast range soon.

As it turns out, just as we were beginning to taxi out, the DJ announced they were now

playing the world premiere of the first single, "Learning To Fly." As I watched us

approach the clouds and pass through them, I was listening to the lyrics for the first time.

===========================================================

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.

A fatal attraction is holding me fast-

How can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies.

Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings.

Unheeded warnings- I thought I'd thought of everything.

No navigator to find my way home.

Unladened, empty and turned to stone.

A soul in tension that's learning to fly.

Condition grounded- but determined to try.

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

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.

A 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 skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
