Mothers Pride
Learning To Fly


I would like to open by saying Learning To Fly, in my opinion, is the best trance song ever recorded. I found this sample on Johnny Monsoon's Live Uplifting Trance Set recorded in 3.5.2005. The track comes from a white label single that I cant find, so if you are reading this and you have any info about it please contact me. I believe this is the original recorded in 1998, but it’s hard to be sure because of the many different releases and remixes.

It’s stays simple and clean and flows like water. Not to mention the mesmerizing vocals and hooks that put you into another state of mind. The arrangement of the song is very impressive. This is the main reason to me why it stands out from other trance. It’s like it has two phases, each with a buildup and resolution. Its songs like this that make me wish I born earlier to be able to enjoy them.

When I first heard this song, I was already thinking of ways to remix it. At first, I wanted to do a simpler house mix, but after seeing all of the other house-like remixes released, I decided to take a different approach. Learning to fly (sensual mix) was born. Still, not much in comparison to the original, but its fresh. It stays simple and clean, while produced in a hip hop, or "crunk", if you will, fashion. Like the original mix, the sensual mix is a floor filler. I have tested it myself.

If you like my beat please check my myspace for some other remixes.

Listening to this song, I can't shake the feeling that I've heard that melody before. Yet, I don't have the song in my library. I really feel like I have some song that either it ripped off, or that ripped it off. I'll probably be posting about several uncredited ripoffs that I've found in the world of music fairly soon, because I see them all the time and it bothers me quite a bit sometimes.

Also, I didn't realize you had a taste for trance. From Mouth to Mouth, I thought your tastes were more firmly grounded in earthier, jungly house beats. I guess I'll just have to see what else you post about. I like hard trance from time to time, some that you might find on iTunes that I've liked are the Secrets/Sonar single from 4 Clubbers, and Push by Future Breeze. Check them out, maybe you'll find them epic or crunktacular.

the song is called learning to fly, and he didn't rippoff the song, its a remix just like many other artists make.

As far as shaynaynay's taste in music, his ranges in taste go as far as his range in samples do, but don't let me be the one to confirm that
