Skydiving Challenge

One day I wanted to try something new with my music. I chose a beat, which I had produced, and together with Jamendo I let the members listen to the beat and decide the topic for the song by voting (topics were Skydiving, Cellphone,Traffic Lights, Headphones, Bar chair, Briefcase, Sofa) I’m glad Skydiving got the most votes!

But I have never tried skydiving myself (to afraid of heights), so how can I write a song about it? Well I made some research and finally registered an account at Dropzone (one of the biggest skydiving communities) I started this thread. Many were skeptical at the beginning, but they started slowly to share stories and information with me. Once the song was ready their comments were totally different in this thread.

The lyrics for the song are totally based upon the stories shared by the skydivers on Dropzone, from all over the world. It was not easy to turn it into lyrics but it turned out pretty well I think.

The song project started as fun and exciting challenge and has now almost become a world wide anthem for Skydivers. A big thanks to Jamendo and its members and to the Skydiving community Dropzone.

I hope you enjoy the song, and feel inspired to skydive!
