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?

I'd like to add that 'Fawkes the Phoenix' and 'Fawkes is Reborn' from Chamber of Secrets are brilliant ones too!

As dumb as this might sound, "Skyscraper" by Demi Lovato. And "Defying Gravity" from Wicked.

"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 :)

"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~.

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.

"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.

There are no lyrics, but David Arkenstone's Across the Great Ocean always made me feel like I was soaring on dragonback. :D

Peter Pan, Soarin' (like from the disneyland/world ride), Aerodynamics (a band song), and The Redwoods (another band song)...Those are all good...
