aerials

last scene (on an airplane during take-off) from "Say Anything" (1989) (Diane is afraid of flying)

LLOYD: "Alright,high-level airline safety tips. If anything happens it usually happens in the first 5 minutes of the flight, right."
DIANE: "Okay."
LLOYD: "So when you hear that smoking sign go ding you know everything's going to be okay."
DIANE: "Good to know."
LLOYD: "Alright, I'm just going to keep talking until that ding happens, which is going to be soon."
DIANE: "Okay."







Recycled Air - Benjamin Gibbard/The Postal Service

i take a breath and pull the air in 'til there's nothing left
I'm feeling green like teenage lovers between the sheets
ba ba ba ba...
knuckles clenched to white as the landing
gear retract for flight
my head's a balloon inflating with the altitude
ba ba ba ba...
i watch the patchwork farms' slow fade into the ocean's arms
and from here they can't see me stare
the stale taste of recycled air
i watch the patchwork farms' slow fade into the ocean's arms
calm down, release your cares
the stale taste of recycled air
