The Beatles Free As A Bird song and video is a real dreamy gem.
You also mentioned movies and flight. Well before Top Gun, the movie scene that fascinated me the most about flight was that Star Wars Death Star trench run scene. Back then that scene where Luke dives into the Death Star trench in the X Fighter on the big theater screen looked out of this world, no pun intended. I don’t think there was any movie before that, that captured that kind of visual flight effect like you are actually in the cockpit feel. Afterwards came a slew of sci fi spacecraft flight scenes like Battle Star Galactica etc up to Top Gun, the Star Wars did it first.
I recall in a Q and A, Mona and Lisa mentioned they never watched Star Wars! If they still haven’t seen it, I hope this will serve as a convincing teaser.😜

Hi Jurgen
Interesting topic. I certainly dreamt about flying and being a pilot through my young teenage years with aspirations of being an airline pilot. But that never happened, and I remember the first time I remember flying when I was 21. I did fly once before when we all moved from Korea to the USA, I was barely 2, and my mom said I cried almost the whole way on the flight. I was a handful back then. But the first flight I can remember was that flight from Vancouver to Toronto in 1984. What an experience when the plane took off down the run away and then started to lift, I could feel the seat firmly planted in my back. It was faster than any car I’ve ever been in, felt that rush!!! Wow!!!.
This song kind of captures that thrill a bit I think.

I remember in the 90s there were Enya, Sarah Brightman, and Loreena Mckennit in the same realm of music I liked. I think Enya has the most well known, but if you liked one it was hard not to like the others of the three. I have a Loreena McKennit CD from then I will try to dig up.

Thanks David. The viewership should resume now that the holidays over.

For Mona and Lisa to be able to write a song, Alone, with so much depth and emotion at such a young age just blows me away. It’s raw appeal and ability to touch deep inside you attests to what amazing inherent musical song writing talent Mona and Lisa possess. It is indeed a brilliant gem, that was so awesome to have a 2022 version performed at the Livestream.
I think it is a song worthy of a wider audience beyond the confines of the MLT Club at some point, but I agree with Roger’s sentiment, only if it fits in within MLTs artistic plan and vision for their music. They are in the drivers seat of this incredible musical journey, and love all they do. ✨🎶🧡

I had a couple of Loreena McKennitt CDs in the 90s, nice New Age music I enjoyed. I didn’t know she was Canadian.

Hi JP
Yeah a very different Pink Floyd sound from their later 70s music. I couldn’t help but feel a little Beatlesque Lucy In The Sky feel in spots. Great song, I like it.

Another beautiful drone show in Edinburgh. The image of the angel in the sky was amazing. I watched the new years eve celebration in Seattle at the Space Needle that featured drones with fireworks this year. The drones weren’t as impressive as these, but it looks like drones will become a big part of the firework shows in the future.

That steam train and the bridge and countryside is gorgeous!
On one of my cruise trips to Alaska, I took a train ride in Skagway that goes up a mountain pass that the gold miners built (Whitepass & Yukon Route Railway), and the track the train goes on is what was built some 100 years ago. It was quite a breathtaking train ride going over some of the bridges built into the cliffs. At some points there were people who worked the railway buried under a giant rock that is just marked as a grave with bodies underneath never retrieved.

Hi Jeannette
Wow that is quite something that Loreena is a part of your community. What a small world.
It’s funny I discover so many music artists I admired, turns out they are Canadian! I remember on the forum Lisa mentioned Joni Mitchell is one of her favourite female singers, and later learning hey Joni Mitchell is Canadian too. I guess there are a lot of great artists who are Canadian, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot, Bryan Adams, Sarah McLachlan…and a host of others I will discover are Canadian too! HAHAHA.
Bryan Adams grew up near my neighbourhood, going to a rival highschool, even saw him at a coffee shop once near where I work downtown.
