Flying Cloud

[rage:man]

i don’t hear much discussion on this song. this is one of the most beautiful songs J has ever written. most hardcore Dinosaur fans go to their first three records, which are my favourites, too. but Green Mind has this some sort of ‘acoustic-y’ vibe and really brings out J’s songwriting, though I do really feel his best songs were pre-Green Mind.

Flying Cloud is really ‘atmospheric’ and different from many of J’s acoustic songs. apart from "Thumb", its my favourite on Green Mind.

Yeah it`s a good song.Always reminded me of Led Zeppelin`s acoustic songs for some reason.

"How’d You Pin that One on Me" is the only track on Green Mind i don’t really like.

I’ve always liked How’d You Pin That One On Me, Muck is the one I don’t like on green mind then probably Flying Cloud although it has grown on me alot more, I don’t skip it anymore

yeah, Muck isn’t the best. but i listen to it all the time just for the "hold back, hold back" line.

I would just sort of listen to the music of flying cloud and not pay much attention to the lyrics. Not long ago I satrted to listen to the words and was surprised to learn it was about a skiing trip. Crazy.

Yeah, the skiing thing is weird. I didn’t believe it at first but it really is about a girl at a ski resort.

Apparently J is an avid skiier. Didn’t they do a music video up on a mountain (ski resort)? I wanna say it was at Whistler in B.C.

Anyways I guess J like the snow.

The Out There video was done in Alaska if that`s the one you`re thinking of.I like the plant playing the drums Is it Murph or George?
