Let's collect some songs for flying!

UPDATE: I made the song list, you can find it here

EEEEYO

I'm back, again... Well not fully but I'm working on it. The reason for my huge inactivity is that I'm writing my diploma thesis right now, about how games can be used as educational tools. (And yes, I did mention SimplePlanes and SimpleRockets 2)

Since I have no time to build yet, but I definitely wanted to give a life sign away, I thought it could be fun to make a youtube playlist with kinds of music that add some good vibes to flying around in the game. Let me start with my five favorite songs for flying.

1 Learning To Fly - Pink Floyd

This one is kinda essential and gives itself, and who doesn't likes Pink Floyd anyway? Those smooth guitar riffs are perfect for a chill flight with a bush plane.

2 Heavy Metal (Takin' a ride) - Don Felder

If you know the weird but stunning 80's movie Heavy Metal, you probably familiar with this one. This is kinda the theme song of bomb runs for me. Especially, if you have a B-17.

3 Jet Airliner - Steve Miller Band

Also a classic and obvious one here, sick riffs and catchy lyrics, a great choice for flying around with no particular destination.

4 Szállj Velem - Napoleon Boulevard

Well, this is a Hungarian song from the '80s. The title means "fly with me" and this is the band's second famous song, but my favorite one from them. And as a proud Hungarian, I just can't leave it out. It has a cool new wave-ish sounding, so you should give it a try, even if the lyrics sound alien to you.

5 Fly For Your Life - Gunship

A true synthwave gem, with magnificent vocals. Since synthwave is pretty much popular nowadays, this one has a place on the list. Hard to speak about it without repeating myself, so let the song speak instead

I know there's pretty more out there, the essentials like Aces High, or the entire Top Gun soundtrack, but I tried to gain some uniqueness on my point of view.

If you care to join comment below your best flying songs, I'll try to create a youtube playlist from them.

Please pick max 5 songs, don't throw at me your entire music collection

I don't really want to give this a deadline, but let's say I keep listing them till the weekend.

Have fun, and stay healthy! Soon I'll try to create normal content I promise.

Have a nice day/night/evening!

    “Fly Away” - TheFatRat
    This song is perfect for anything that flies, it’s a really beautiful song and it conveys lots of emotion and movement as well.

    lol i'm quite similar to you
    i also have my own random list of music saved on my phone i play, while i play the games on my ipad or very rarely on my laptop, i just have the songs blasting next to me and it really gets my adrenaline going. i won't list my top 5 favorites here, mostly cause they're sorta controversial (most are just random songs i like that were already in a different, possibly unrelated game) and also cause it's really hard to choose a top 5.
