Song needed

Post by MusoukaProductions » Thu Jul 31, 2008 7:07 pm

So, I know I want to do an idea to Last Exile, but I have no clue what song to use. I'd like to mostly focus on the feeling of freedom that the two kids get when they're flying in their vanship. So anything that also creates that sense of just wonder and flying high? Also it would be great if it wasn't much longer than 3 minutes.

"Point of No Return" by DJ Encore is sort of what I'm looking for, but someone used that in another flying AMV recently.

Pink Floyd, Learning to Fly, from A Momentary Lapse of Reason. Released Sept 1987. Sony
Four minutes and forty-nine seconds but you could fade out at a little over three minutes as it is mostly instrumental from that point.


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 holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Cant 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 thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone

A soul in tension thats learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Cant keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, i

Friction lock - set.
Mixture - rich
Propellers - fully forward
Flaps - set - 10 degrees
Engine gauges and suction - check

Mixture set to maximum percent - recheck
Flight instruments...
Altimeters - check both
(garbled word) - on
Navigation lights - on
Strobes - on
(to tower): confirm 3-8-echo ready for departure
(tower): hello again, this is now 129.4
(to tower): 129.4. its to go.
(tower): you may commence your takeoff, winds over 10 knots.
(to tower): 3-8-echo
Easy on the brakes. take it easy. its gonna roll this time.
Just hand the power gradually, and it...

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour 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

Theres no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Cant keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, i

Over the hills and far away maybe fits, I only remember Nightwish made a cover of the original song.

Ugh, I'm gonna hate myself later for saying this, because I WANTED TO DO THIS FOR A LAST EXILE AMV, but....

"In the Sky" by Miz. It's the theme to Grandia III. I haven't seen Last Exile, but the song seemed like such a good choice. But, don't you think so! ....please? :(

Sorry, I should mention the video has Grandia 3 spoilers, so you know, use caution.

Another song

Post by Jenya » Sun Aug 10, 2008 4:54 am

For some reason, American Symphony, that song they played at the end of Mr. Holland's Opus, also comes to mind.
