THE CHARACTER OF ATMOSPHERE

Moon over the Earth by NASA.

1. DROPS OF JUPITER - TRAIN

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's a time to change, hey, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
 

Listen here.

 

2. LET’S GO FLY A KITE - RICHARD & ROBERT SHERMAN

Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height
Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh let's go fly a kite
 

Listen here.

 

3. ATMOSPHERE - KASKADE

All my life I've been a star
Holding a light up in the dark
While I try to keep clear
Of all the waves in your atmosphere
 
All my life I've been a star
Holding a light up in the dark
While I try to keep clear
Of all the waves in your atmosphere
 

Listen here.

 

4. IN THE AIR TONIGHT - PHIL COLLINS

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
 

Listen here.

 

5. WALKING ON AIR - KATY PERRY

Tonight, tonight, tonight, I’m walking on air
Tonight, tonight, tonight, I’m walking on air
You’re giving me sweet, sweet ecstasy
Yeah, you take me to utopia
You’re reading me like erotica
Boy, you make me feel exotic, yeah
Just when I think I can’t take anymore
We go deeper and harder than ever before
We go higher and higher
I feel like I’m already there
 

Listen here.

 

6. ROCK YOUR BODY - JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE

So you grab your girls
And you grab a couple more
And you all come meet me
In the middle of the floor
Said the air is thick, it's smelling right
So you pass to the left and you sail to the right
 
Don't be so quick to walk away
Dance with me
 

Listen here.

 

7. SOMETHING IN THE AIR - SPEEDY KEEN, THUNDERCLAP NEWMAN

Call out the instigators
Because there's something in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right
And you know that it's right
 
We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now
 

Listen here.

 

8. YOU’RE IN THE AIR - REM

I'm what you found, I'm upside down
You're in the air, you're in the air and I am breathing you
 
I want the stars to know they've won if only to beguile
The sky has opened up again in heavens reconciled
I want you naked, I want you wild, I want the stars to know they win
Give me that smile, just give it me, just turn it on, I'm lost again
 
I'm what you found, I'm upside down
You're in the air
 

Listen here.

 

9. IN YOUR ATMOSPHERE - JOHN MAYER

Hold on to your hotel key in your bedroom neighborhood
Me sleep-walking in Hollywood
I'm gonna steer clear
I’d burn up in your atmosphere
 
I'm gonna steer clear
Cause I'd die if I saw you
I'd die if I didn't see you there
So I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore
 

Listen here.

 

10. WALKING ON SUNSHINE - KATRINA & THE WAVES

Walking on sunshine
Walking on sunshine
I feel alive, I feel a love
I feel a love that's really real
I feel alive, I feel a love
I feel a love that's really real
I'm on sunshine, baby
I'm on sunshine, baby
 

Listen here.
