Tina Turner / Sting - On Silent Wings

If there's a mention of 'wings' or 'flying' my ears tune in - happens all ... the ... time!

Of course the song 'On Silent Wings', performed by Tina Turner and Sting and released in 1996, has nothing to do with flying but rather with the slow demise of a relationship. Amazingly, this song conveys a quiet acceptance of the changes brought on by time - and even a sense of peace ... At least that's my take - feel free to disagree ...

On Silent Wings
Tina Turner, Sting

There was a time when I would have followed you
To the end of the earth
I was willing to share it all with you, the love, the hurt

Nickelback - Hero

Today is one of those days when I wished I could "hold on to the wings of an eagle and ... fly away ..."

I love the voice of Chad Kroeger, and consequently, a lot of the songs of Nickelback. "Hero" is one of my favorites within that group ~

Hero

By Chad Kroeger

I am so high, I can hear heaven
I am so high, I can hear heaven
Whoa, but heaven no, heaven don't hear me
