| | Learning to fly Lyrics Artist(Band):Pink Floyd
Stretched to the point of no turning back A flight of fancy on a windswept field Standing alone my senses reel A fatal attraction is holding me fast How can I escape this irresistible grasp? Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I Ice is forming on the tips of my wings Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything No navigator to find my way home Unladen, 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 earthbound misfit, I 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 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 earthbound misfit, I If you find some error in Learning to fly Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Learning to fly No offence | Reviewer: my name | 10/25/09 No offence but you all have it wrong… the song is about a thing named ‘Astral Travailing’ The Native Americans beloved that they tern into that took the form of animals when they did it, just to try understand it but there is no need. In the Astral plane time dose not exist “A dream unthreatened by the morning light”. I mean come on, “Could blow this soul right through the roof of the Night”.

It's 'A Momentary Lapse OF Reason' 'Learning to Fly' was indeed written by David Gilmour and he wrote the tune while he was in the process of obtaining his pilots license. Heroin? No - but nice try! I've got a great idea... READ! And I don't mean silly inaccuracies and distortions. Interested in Floyd facts? Check out 'Inside Out' by Nick Mason Who's Nick Mason?? If you love Floyd but you're asking this question, you owe it to yourself to go out and buy that book. He's the DRUMMER and the very ORIGINAL and FOUNDING member of Pink Floyd. Don't believe me? Get the book... and read it! I couldn't put it down! skydiving / flight | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/23/09 "This song is about herion...thats all there is to it...yes it can be deciphered in many ways...but come on.. "Theres no sensation to compare with this. Suspended animation in a state of bliss"" Its obvious you've never experienced flight. To me, this song is about skydiving. Theres no sensation to compare with this. Suspended animation in a state of bliss. You should try it sometime. Apparently Gilmour loved aircrafts. I'm not a little boy.. | Reviewer: Carson | 9/11/09 I'm not young and I'm well educated. I am sorry. I do think the songs about mushrooms. it matches too well. it may be double meaninged but if you've ever had a spiritual experience with mushrooms, the video ebodies your experience when all other descriptions fail too. If you've never had an experience like it, you just won't relate. I had mushrooms with indians and was never the same. There is nothing like it and this song is about it.. my opinion! nothing to do with drugs | Reviewer: someone who knows what he's talking about | 7/14/09 you people who say this is about drugs are idiots. this was on the album A Momentary Lapse In Reason which was made after Waters left the band. they were already far beyond their drug years and besides, Pink Floyd has never been a band to directly glorify drug use in their music, even if their early sound was heavily influenced by psychedelics. though I dont know exactly what it means, its likely just another Floyd song based upon beautiful dream-like imagery like Echoes or Point Me At The Sky. Pink Floyd has always had some of the most incredibly beautiful and poetic lyrics of any band in existence especially when Syd Barrett was still sane. the lyrical quality of Floyd songs is second only to Bob Dylan Did you know... | Reviewer: floylover | 7/15/09 That Gilmour is an aircraft lover and even had a museum about it? In the song we can also hear the voice of Nick Manson, a pilot himself, making a "checklist"? This music is about flying, and the adventure of Gilmour as a new leader of Pink Floyd. Ignorance is bliss | Reviewer: A real Floyd fan | 7/11/09 Ignorant children who have no idea about Pink Floyd! You obviously have no clue about Pink Floyd if you think this song is about heroin. No member of the Floyd was ever involved with heroin. Sure they did recreational drugs but what musician who grew up in the 60's and 70's didn't. Gilmour wrote the song and if you think he ever did heroin then you are on crack! Rest In Peace Richard! heroin,i don't think so | Reviewer: eugine | 6/11/09 This song could be about so many things, i don't think there's anything about it that screams heroin.If it's about drugs it could be about any of them. No sensation compares to shrooms either or any other sensation. I think it's about picking your ass up and learning to do for yourself and to be free, but that's just how I see it.Anybody talking in certainty's, that isn't david gilmour, is kinda wrong. What a trip | Reviewer: Dave | 3/19/09 The thing I've always admired about Pink Floyd, particularly Gilmour (and Waters at times) is the lyrical craftmanship and the instrumental ingenuity. Pink Floyd's music is the kind you can blast through a good sound system with the lights off and it will take you somewhere... just the melodies alone will pick you up and sweep you away to a whole different world.
