BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnlTrq6wLf0 - Fly Like an Eagle - Steve Miller Band
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly_Like_an_Eagle_%28song%29:
| "Fly Like an Eagle" is a song written by
Steve Miller and by Steve Miller Band guitarist Steve McCarty for
the
album of the same name.[1]
The song went to number 2 on the
Billboard Hot 100 chart during the week of March 12, 1977, kept from
the top spot by Evergreen
(Love Theme from A Star Is Born) by
Barbra Streisand. The single edit can be found on
Greatest Hits (19741978). The song has an unusually mellow and
"dreamy" feel. It is usually played in tandem with "Space Intro". An earlier 1973 version of the song features a more bluesy and less funk-inspired rhythm, and guitar taking the synthesizer parts (albeit with similar delay effects).[2] The lyrics are slightly different, indicating that the place the eagle wants to fly away from is a Native American reservation. The main guitar hook in the song was first used in a slightly different form on Miller's 1969 track "My Dark Hour" (which featured Paul McCartney)... |
