Mike Oldfield - Five miles out
What do you do when your falling,You've got 30 degrees and you're stalling out?
And it's 24 miles to your beacon;
There's a crack in the sky and the warning's out.
Don't take that dive again!
Push through that band of rain!
Five miles out,
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out.
You're number 1, anticipating you.
Climbing out.
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out.
You're number 1, anticipating you.
Mayday! mayday! mayday!
Calling all stations!
This is golf-mike-oscar-victor-juliet
Imc cu.nimb...icing,
In great difficulty, over.
The traffic controller is calling,
"victor-juliet, your identity.
I have you lost in the violent storm!
Communicate or squawk 'emergency'!"
Don't take that dive again!
Push through that band of rain!
Lost in static, 18,
And the storm is closing in now.
Automatic, 18!
(got to push through!) trapped in living hell!
Your a prisoner of the dark sky,
The propeller blades are still!
And the evil eye of the hurricane's
Coming in now for the kill.
Our hope's with you,
Rider in the blue.
Welcome's waiting, we're anticipating
You'll be celebrating, when you're down and braking.
Climbing out.
(climbing, climbing)
Five miles out.
(climbing, climbing)
Five miles out,
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out....
(climbing, climbing)
Five miles out,
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out....
(climbing, climbing)
Climbing out.
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out....
(climbing, climbing)
Five miles out,
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out....
(climbing, climbing)
Climbing out.
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out....
(climbing, climbing)
Climbing out.
Just hold your heading true.
Got to get your finest out....
Piosenka mojego dzieciństwa. Wiem, dziwne ;) Pamiętam jakby to było wczoraj, siebie - dziecko z zerową znajomością angielskiego, puszczające w pokoju rodziców płytę Oldfielda. Lubiłam ją, przemawiała do mnie sama muzyka i głosy, bo tekstu oczywiście nie rozumiałam. A najbardziej zwróciła moją uwagę właśnie ta: Five miles out. Wyobrażałam sobie fantastyczne przygody ilustrowane tą piosenką: grupę przyjaciół podróżujących magicznymi krainami w poszukiwaniu porwanego przyjaciela, dzielną dziewczynę szukającą w obcych światach swojego ukochanego...
Kiedyś zapytałam tatę, co oznacza "Five miles out" (przeczytać tytuł piosenki z okładki płyty potrafiłam). "Pięć mil stąd". Uśmiechnęłam się. Do moich wyobrażeń pasowało idealnie.
