St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion) by John Parr
The song is about being determined to do anything. It was written by David Foster and John Parr for the Canadian athlete Rick Hansen, who at the time was going around the world in his wheelchair to raise awareness for spinal cord injuries. Lyrics: Growing up, you don't see the writing on the wall Passing by, moving straight ahead, you knew it all But maybe sometime if you feel the pain You'll find you're all alone, everything has changed Play the game, you know you can't quit until it's won Soldier on, only you can do what must be done You know in some way you're a lot like me You're just a prisoner and you're tryin' to break free Chorus: I can see a new horizon underneath the blazing sky I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's Fire wu........ Burning up, don't know just how far that I can go (just how far I go) Soon be home, only just a few miles down the road I can make it, I know I can You broke the boy in me, but you won't break the man (chorus) I can see a new horizon underneath the blazing sky I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's Fire I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burnin' in me, burnin' in me Just once in his life A man has his time And my time is now I'm coming alive I can hear the music playin', I can see the banners fly Feel like you're back again, and hope ridin' high Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's Fire (chorus) I can see a new horizon underneath the blazing sky I'll be where the eagle's flyin' higher and higher Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's Fire I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burnin' in me Burnin', burnin' in me, I can feel it burnin' Oooh, burnin' inside of me... (to fade) Here is the lame video for this great song. youtube.com/watch?v=8d9thIP… |

My 7 year old niece pointed this song out to me (honest, I swear!) |

Nobody mentioned "Climbing Up The Wall" By Radiohead |
Tim Davis wrote:WEEN - "How High Can You Fly?" "Don't Sweat It" "My Own Bare Hands" Not written with climbing as the inspiration, but WEEN is awesome.Ween actually has a song or two that would make an awesome soundtrack for just about anything you could do in life. If I listened to music while climbing, I think that Pure Guava beginning to end would make an excellent background to a short multi-pitch route. Ha! |

I'm just going to lay this right here...Alex Honnold may or may not be naked in it...but Chris Sharma and Khal Drago are definitely stoned...
