![]() Fly Like An Eagle (1977) [ larger cover art ] |
Did you see the lights
As they fell all around you?
Did you hear the music
A serenade from the stars?
Wake up, wake up
Wake up and look around you
We're lost in space
And the time is our own
Whoah
Whoah
Ah
Did you feel the wind
As it blew all around you?
Did you feel the love
That was in the air?
Wake up, wake up
Wake up and look around you
We're lost in space
And the time is our own
Whoah
Whoah
Ah
The Sun comes up
And it shines all around you
You're lost in space
And the Earth is your own
Whoah
Whoah
Whoah
Whoah

| coloradojohn (A Mile High and then some, Cherry Creek, Denver) | Posted: Jun 23, 2012 - 09:25 Reminds me of the time I really listened to this song in its entirety for the first time, Christmas of '82 or so as I drove along the coast through the trippy and exquisite area of Rancho Palos Verdes known as Portuguese Bend with a good SoCal buzz on and looked longingly and lovingly out at Catalina from new angles and knew I just had to get myself over there, and so I did, the very next day...and I know a lot of it got overplayed especially in subsequent years and decades, but I did feel like the album Fly Like an Eagle, which was a tape my brother had left in the car, was an excellent soundtrack for that and so many of those early explorations, and I am happy to say that for me this song does indeed still hold up well after all these years... |

| kurtster (Back in Ohiya, for now ...) | Posted: Feb 17, 2012 - 09:24 More Miller, please. Nice segue into Jet Airliner, too !. #5 has to be my favorite album. |

| ovidiu | Posted: Feb 17, 2012 - 09:22 One piece of a most excellent song. Great haunting voice. |

Um, those comments were from the last time the song was played. BTW, I just don't get all the Steve Miller hate. What's up with that? Miller's first three albums (Children of the Future, Sailor, and Brave New World) were considered on a par with anything released by San Francisco bands in the '60s—including the Airplane, Dead, Quicksilver, Country Joe, and so on. And he reinvented himself successfully after breaking his neck in an automobile accident with three pretty good albums, The Joker, Fly Like an Eagle, and Book of Dreams. Y'know, popular doesn't mean bad; it just means popular. And so what if he covered Paul Pena's "Jet Airliner?" It was a huge hit, and my guess is that Pena rather enjoyed the royalties. |

| ksb (Oakland, CA) | Posted: Jul 15, 2003 - 12:15 Hmmm, in the reverse of how Siouxsie & the Banshees did a horrible cover of Dear Prudence, someone might be able to breath some life into this tune... |

| basstooner (Washington, DC) | Posted: Mar 25, 2003 - 08:27 It's too bad Steve Miller has been overplayed so much cause they guy has some great tunes. Like this one. ![]() |
| FeatFanMike (Cold and Snowy Rochester, NY) | Posted: Mar 25, 2003 - 08:27 This song isn't bad, but I always expected it to lead somewhere that it doesn't. I rather hear any other song on this disc. |
| gypsy222 (Minneapolis, MN) | Posted: Mar 25, 2003 - 08:26 HA! This is such a high school song for me.. we loved Steve Miller..creepy. |
| Analeptic (Fort Worth, TX) | Posted: May 22, 2002 - 10:06 Its finally happened. A song on radioparadise that makes me want to browse to another another site. Nightmares of KPOP "The number ONE choice among Neanderthals" :???: |
