27. "Learning to Fly" by Pink Floyd {#70; 10/87} [Video: Learning to Fly.]
First of all, let's be sure which "Learning to Fly" we are talking about. "Learning to Fly" by Tom Petty is a fine song. So is "Learn to Fly" by the Foo Fighters. This is not either of those songs. This is "Learning to Fly" by Pink Floyd off of their album "A Momentary Lapse of Reason."
Is there a better example of a "flying, floating" song than one called "Learning to Fly," and featuring a video of someone flying and floating? This song came out right when I got home from my mission, and the video was played a lot as I tried to get myself reacquainted with music videos. The mountain venues of the video and the flying, floating feel of it, stuck with me. (The video was shot in the mountains of Alberta, Canada.)
Also, there is a little guitar riff that is played several times throughout the song that I especially like. It's hard to describe it, but every time it plays I feel compelled to air-guitar along with it.
