I'd like to add that 'Fawkes the Phoenix' and 'Fawkes is Reborn' from Chamber of Secrets are brilliant ones too!
We're gonna fly now from Green Lantern http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUUvDS80YRo&feature=related The Urge - It's my time to fly from Titan A.E. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcnF1ioaBr4 Flying from Peter Pan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1adnfIBOYeE
Yeah, I totally came in here to rec Nightwish's cover of "Walking Through the Air" too. XD But also:
"Running Up That Hill" cover by Within Temptation "Take My Hands" from the Escaflowne Movie OST "Dark Chest of Wonders" by Nightwish "Fly Away From Here" by Aerosmith
"Flying" and "Fairy Dance" from the "Peter Pan" soundtrack! "Colors/Dance" by George Winston. "Flying" by Cait Agus Sean. "Quanta Qualia" by Hayley Westenra, very light and airy and delicate.
If it's songs that mention flying, then "Heaven Knows" by Rise Against... it's not really about flying, but it uses it as a clever and well-described metaphor.

Thank you! Rise Against makes everyone feel AMAZING!!! BLB <3
"Free as a Bird" by the Beatles, of course... "Perfect Weather to Fly" by Elbow is good, too. "Memorial" by Explosions in the Sky is instrumental, but feels utterly weightless.
"Staralfur" by Sigur Ros. If I could fly, I would want it to be to this song. Once it hits that sweet moment (you'll know when), it's just...wow. I still cry when I listen to it.
What Music Makes You Think of Soaring Through the Air?
I'm looking for music that makes you feel like you're flying - or songs about flying! Except I'd like it to have lyrics in English! :)
So what music makes you feel like a bird with wind whipping through your hair?
Re: What Music Makes You Think of Soaring Through the Air?
MUSE :3
Especially Undisclosed Desires.

Re: What Music Makes You Think of Soaring Through the Air?
As dumb as this might sound, "Skyscraper" by Demi Lovato. And "Defying Gravity" from Wicked.
Re: What Music Makes You Think of Soaring Through the Air?
Journey of the Featherless by Cloud Cult was the first thing that popped into my head. It's sweet.

Re: What Music Makes You Think of Soaring Through the Air?
"Big jet plane" by Angus & Julia stone makes me think of flying. Florence and the machine's music has that sound that just takes you anywhere :)
Re: What Music Makes You Think of Soaring Through the Air?
I second Florence And The Machine. 'Between Two Lungs' in particular comes to mind :)

Walking In The Air, both the original version from the cartoon The Snowman and the cover version of Nightwish.
Re: What Music Makes You Think of Soaring Through the Air?
Came here to post this.
Re: What Music Makes You Think of Soaring Through the Air?
Celtic Woman also did a really good cover of Walking in the Air (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HoqJH5FGRA).

Re: What Music Makes You Think of Soaring Through the Air?
Alligator Sky by Owl City. Actually, most of his stuff does that for me.
Re: What Music Makes You Think of Soaring Through the Air?
^Definitley anything by Owl City! Especially Alligator Sky and On the Wing.

"Learning to Fly" by Pink Floyd. ~<3~.
Re: What Music Makes You Think of Soaring Through the Air?
Pardon the double-post. Sorry. ^^;;;;.
Re: What Music Makes You Think of Soaring Through the Air?
"Learning to Fly" by Pink Floyd. ~<3~.
The music and the sounds, alone, are enough to make me feel that way. The lyrics are a top-notch bonus, to say the least. >;). ~<3~.

Re: What Music Makes You Think of Soaring Through the Air?
This. This a million times.
Re: What Music Makes You Think of Soaring Through the Air?
There are no lyrics, but David Arkenstone's Across the Great Ocean always made me feel like I was soaring on dragonback. :D
Re: What Music Makes You Think of Soaring Through the Air?
Peter Pan, Soarin' (like from the disneyland/world ride), Aerodynamics (a band song), and The Redwoods (another band song)...Those are all good...
