My husband (who is a pilot) and I walked back up the aisle to this on our wedding day, and never has a moment been more perfect. Our pianist was incredible and it was everything and more than I had imagined xx
My wife walked down the isle to this song back in 2015. Outstanding choice. I’m glad others felt as inspired by this song as we did. What does your husband fly, and who for?
Does this video give anyone else the sensation that they're going to burst into tears at any moment? The beautifully crafted music mixed with the genius editing of the video is utterly perfect.
Totally. The way that this traces through how many people dreamed, dedicated, and in some cases gave their lives so that we could not be confined to Earth's surface. And that moment when we finally cracked the code... how quickly we went from there. Think about the fact that the last plane Orville Wright ever got to fly was a Lockheed Constellation. He saw the very first controlled powered flight, all the way up to a transatlantic airliner.
ha i fell in love with it when it was the BA advert on the flight that i was on when i moved from my home to the UK 8 years ago, and i keep coming back to this video when i want a moment to reflect on the passion for aviation.... and yes... every time it brings a tear..
"When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return." I know we have all probably heard this quote before, but personally I love it.
Very Nice. Very talented lady. I had myself convinced this was a completely different 'song' when I heard it in the British Airways commercial, late 2011...
Truly, my favorite piece from my favorite composer, Helen Jane Long. And how poignant to pair it with images of our attempts to fly- where somewhere in a soul, we remember we can, and finally do. Thank you. -KaiCarra
Coming from a musical family (my dad had his PhD in music and my mom is a classically trained pianist), I have loved this ever since I first hear it on the British Airways TV commercial. Hauntingly beautiful!
I would drop everything when this ad came on and even rewind the DVR to hear this song until I finally looked it up tonight. In it's entirety the piece is stunning and the video and it's incredibly moving. The heartbeat sound during the suspension and the background radio chatter in the British Airways ad really add a ton of drama.
I've written music my whole live and this has opened my eyes so much and it makes me want to learn the piano from playing geeetar all these years. truly breath taking, it brings tears to my eyes and reminds me of the power of music without words..
We take flying for granted nowadays. We whine about delays, nitpick about onboard service, point out inadequacies. While all important for sure, it has made mundane the experience that, if you think of it, is singularly breathtaking. Humanity's ingenuity, with all our inherent flaws, has made it possible for millions of bits and bobs, of nuts and bolts, to harmoniously sync and break the surly bonds of earth and achieve sustained flight. So each time you experience a delay or receive bad service, take a moment to step back and realize that you are experiencing something that is miraculous.
When I graduated from Embry Riddle Aeronautics University this was playing at our ceremony. I knew immediately it was HJL Aviators. Gives me chills. Graduated with my Bachelor Degree in Aeronautics with honors. Been flying for 10 years. still love it like the first day I took off.
Was looking for this composition.. the visual media that went with the song is so amazing.. the music combined with the visuals made my eyes water and I got a lump in my throat.. amazing work making this a thing
Why are people always rude on youtube? Just because you don't believe in God does not mean you have the right to insult another person because they do. A person has the right to their beliefs.
it gives me shivers every (hundreds) time I watch this. Heavenly music, but especially the images. How MANY FAILURES, and then comes the war for the huge tecnology revolution, of course. This is the humanity.
The first minutes of this dramatic song is very soothing...makes my want to cry. Then, the last, that's my favorite part. Love those pictures and videos too!
@knightsoflegion: If you only knew how difficult it is to build and work with a flying machine from this era. I built a reproduction Wright 1902 glider (hull #8) in 2002-03 and exhibited at airshows in the southeast US for a year. Having worked with a machine that behaves, according to the book, as the original did I can't understand what made any of these men think that human flight was possible. And yet, they did. 0:18 - R.I.P. Otto Lilienthal. 08-10-1896 "Sacrifices must be made."
Oh Yes! What the Wrights have wrought! After thousands of years of dreaming of flight, then only 100 years from their achievement to the fastest jets, and less than that to the moon shot! The power of the human mind and will is awesome, and the goosebumps so well-deserved.
I take drone videos and always try to put them to music. A few months ago I did a video of a high end home a friend had built. I was struggling with how to assemble the footage I had taken. While listening to Pandora this song came on and I immediately started to envision the video in my head. In my opinion this is one of the most hauntingly beautiful piano pieces made. It was once said, "Simplicity carried to the extreme becomes elegance."
As we hurl ourselves headlong into the ethereal heavens We put our trust in the sky Never to let us fall As our brothers and sister compass their hearts Across an immeasurable path We put faith on our wings not to fail Nor for our power to leave our souls And if it be so; Cushion us, feather-like, back to the loving Earth.
Its been a long road. 17 Dec this year will mark 108 years of powered flight. How we take it for granted. So next time you get on that passenger jet to where ever you are going, just pause for a moment. .....and remember those men and women, those pioneers, engineers, test pilots who forged that road. Marvel at what they achieved. Then walk on, sit down and enjoy your flight.
Phew, I'm not the only one who cried at the advert. All my family laughed at me! Goosebumps at 2:41 :') @VamLoveAndKisses - Definitely! I fell in love with "I Giorni" and then recently heard this and wondered if it was the same guy. :)
This era in the 1900 was all make, try, fail until they got what they wanted the right brothers got us to this point and we our generation right now will help make it better
To reach the Limits of Man's grasp, brushing the heavens, touching Space, reaching the final frontier in just a few seconds, climbing towards the very sun and the moon and the stars in the sky. Reaching new heights. To fly is to serve.
Leroy Jenkins @ 0:48 =\ R.I.P Watching this video has further encouraged my passion and commitment for flying. This song will be ringing through my ears on my next flying lesson, nevermind ATC!
They tried and tried, oh, how they tried, then finally, man was able to fly. So up to the skies he flew, no earthly bounds could stop him, developing new technology as he went along. But along the way, he discovered that these wonderful things could be used as implements for warfare, and thus man once again was able unleash the devils wrath upon helpless humans and other life forms. There is a message here, I'll leave it to the public to discover what it is. As for the film and music, I found them to be incredibly awesome. My supreme complements to the authors.
@K00lkane: The contraption at 0:32 is the John W. Pitts Skycar. Pitts spent what must have been a tremendous amount of time and money trying in vain to make his idea work. He even went through the trouble of patenting the machine. Even though his design was a failure, we can still admire his tenacity and learn from his efforts.
I thought so too, but whenever I was looking up the quote to make sure I got it right I read this about it: "This must be the most famous aviation quote that is not a verifiable quote. It is attributed everywhere to da Vinci, but I've never found definitive source information. Neither did some nice folks I talked with at 'National Geographic', who contacted one of the world's leading Leonardo authorities in Italy as part of a long research process and were told that he did not write it."
I followed your "N" number ruclips.net/video/Oug2c6gTvX4/видео.html Dunno, which video I liked better this one or your "I've been everywhere" epic adventure in your Cessna 150. (-:
To my family. Play this at my funeral so I may rest in peace. Thank you. It has been a long road.

Tony Bowers he flies a Saab 340 for Loganair up here in Bonny Scotland 😊
@@tbowers581 that’s nice tony
Did you enjoy that music for your wedding
To be honest, this video almost makes me cry... please tell me I am not the only one...
CMKeeenT You are not... :')
You are not sir
RIP Sky King. #ripskyking
No sir you are not alone
First flight too landing on the moon.
70 years.
We are a remarkable bunch of bipeds.

That last 40 seconds always gives my goosebumps goosebumps
If you designed this video your a legend..
I did, thank you ;)

When you can't get the pretty girls, so you sit in your man cave "showing them".

is the same for drugs, but better not taste some things :)
She's brilliant
Genius.
Simply, genius.
Very Nice. Very talented lady.

Brings a lump to my throat every time.
Quite possibly one of the greatest pieces of music ever created. Goes along quite nicely with one of the greatest commercials ever made...

Came for the music, but this vid paired with it brought a tear to the eye. Beautiful! How far we've come in a century!

Aeronautics was neither an industry nor a science nor a miracle. It was a love.
When I graduated from Embry Riddle Aeronautics University this was playing at our ceremony. I knew immediately it was HJL Aviators. Gives me chills. Graduated with my Bachelor Degree in Aeronautics with honors. Been flying for 10 years. still love it like the first day I took off.
One of the greatest songs and one of the greatest videos ever made.
it's incredibly rare that i find a piece of music beautiful, and this is one of them
That magical moment, at 1:01. Brings a tear to my eye.. the moment it all began.
wow, i'm speechless. i saw the advert and fell in love with this song. Its rare that a piece of music makes me feel truely insignificant.
Wonderful song!!! So relaxing and soothing. I listen to this all the time!!!! Love it!!!

One of the best videos I've seen which correlates to the music.
The first minutes of this dramatic song is very soothing...makes my want to cry. Then, the last, that's my favorite part. Love those pictures and videos too!
Aeronautics was neither an industry nor a science. It was a miracle.. ✈
Some amazing shots the last minute of that video
What a glorious song. First time hearing it but oh my, how it does things to me. Music at its most beautiful.

I love this track and I bought it on iTunes... Thank you Helen jane Long and thank you for uploading this video the images fit the music PERFECTLY.
Happy 110 years :)
Great video to sum up the history of Aviation. A BIG WELL DONE to HELEN JANE LONG. All the best to you in your future endeavours.
I have to say, British Airways adverts make me proud to be British.
If I could go anywhere in Time, I would take this video back to 1903 and show the Wrights.
Oh Yes! What the Wrights have wrought! After thousands of years of dreaming of flight, then only 100 years from their achievement to the fastest jets, and less than that to the moon shot! The power of the human mind and will is awesome, and the goosebumps so well-deserved.
Went on Concorde yesterday (not a flight obviously) but it was extraordinairy!
Le belle Concorde!

Whoever posted this video, thank you!
This is the intro video to everyone's aviation career
one of my all time favorites on YT. Thank you for this.
She could start a religion with that beautiful music she is so gifted I just love her
this music is so brilliant
That’s the music I hear on the British airways advert
Amazing work!!!! I loved it! Thank you!
Such a beautiful song.I love this.!
@FergusMcDopey Agreed, definately one of my favourite adverts of all time... truly wonderful
If this doesn't give you goosebumps, nothing ever will!!
Although I haven't heard of this melody before, found it soothing and light... thanks for uploading.
Beautiful ...
Love this piece. Reminds me of Michael Montes.
and to think how far we have come since the very first imaginations of flying, only 110 years ago... great advert, and a very appropriate song.
Its been a long road. 17 Dec this year will mark 108 years of powered flight. How we take it for granted.

makes me cry
Love It. It Summed Up The Whole History Of Aviation. From Failure to Unimaginable Success.
... I Love this song, Its so Amazing!
Wow. Emotional and beautiful. Well done BA for choosing this.
Phew, I'm not the only one who cried at the advert. All my family laughed at me! Goosebumps at 2:41 :')
@VamLoveAndKisses - Definitely! I fell in love with "I Giorni" and then recently heard this and wondered if it was the same guy. :)
Sends a chill down my spine, Absolutely lovely work, Thank you Yannick for the Video and HJL of course
To me, that sounds like a miracle...
This era in the 1900 was all make, try, fail until they got what they wanted the right brothers got us to this point and we our generation right now will help make it better
Such a beautiful piece of music! Love it so much. Gives me goosebumbs

This video is really well done and complements the piano perfectly.
beautiful!!!!!!
Daniele: @1:01 is from "Wilbur Wright und seine Flugmaschine", April 24, 1909, near Rome, Italy. The man flying the plane IS Wilbur Wright.
I am a pilot and this is beautiful, like a dream
Took me too long to find this XD from the 2011 British Airways advert it has taken me years to figure out the song name. Beautiful.
Great music.
This is incredible. All I can say is wow, nicely done.
nice video, showing whole aviation history
Beautiful music, beautiful video
ba advert this ba advert that the ba ad is only half of this excellent piece
Just makes you realise how amazing the ability to fly is.
Excellent work and insight!
My daddy messaged me this and I’m only eight and I love this

Couldn't agree more!

Priceless ❤
2:42 ticks and BOOM a massive chill runs down my back! I love music that gives that feeling of frisson!
I thought so too, but whenever I was looking up the quote to make sure I got it right I read this about it:

Well duh! I meant this one
ruclips.net/video/jrwluy697jU/видео.html
Fair enough then. It is in any case, an awesome quote.
Why such a peaceful song for such a wild video
nicely done...loved it
Wonderful!
