Playlists that evoke scenes and stir the soul ② Eagles Fly/Sammy Hagar
A solo track by Sammy Hagar, the second vocalist of Van Halen,
"Eagles Fly"
The scene that emerges from this song is, quite literally,
a great eagle soaring far off into the vast sky
.
Since the title is "Eagles Fly," it's natural that it would be associated with that.
That may be part of it, but even if the title of this song were,
"Take Me Away" (a phrase that appears several times in the song)
I would still experience the same sense of flight and imagine a bird flapping its wings in the vast sky.
And wouldn't a bird capable of catching an updraft with large wings and soaring to great heights in an instant be an eagle after all?
It is certainly not a bird that busily flaps its wings (laughs).
The highlight of this song, the guitar from the interlude before the big chorus, and Sammy Hagar's soul-stirring shout,
Oh, yeahhhhhhhhhhh‼️‼️‼️
The sense of flight is such that it makes you believe that the great eagle must have reached the highest point (in a physical sense) for any living creature, for any bird of prey.
It is said that the highest-flying creature is the **"Rüppell's vulture."** Its flight altitude reaches an astonishing
approximately 11,000 meters above sea level (a height reaching the stratosphere). This is almost the same altitude at which passenger planes cruise.
This song is sure to refreshingly blow away the stifling air of daily life.
You need to be careful when listening to it while driving.
While shouting, "Oh, yeahhhhhhhhhhh‼️‼️‼️"
and going, do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do, do-do-do🥁
because there is a danger that I might start banging on things to the beat of the drums (lol)
