Waltz above the Clouds

Waltz above the clouds up high
With the gods of the sky

DZ Malmi and DZ Arabianranta

The Malmi dropzone
Is the home zone
The sky above is full of memories
Full of stories
About 447 skydives
In the good old times
And now one more after nine years

Jens and I
Went to skydive
First at Malmi and then by my home
On the new dropzone
At Arabianranta by the Old City Bay
Quite a special day!
I was flying above the sea
What did I see?
I saw home sweet home
Right by the dropzone

In the Winds of the Sky

Megumi had fun in the sky
In our sit-fly

See Maura fly
With a big smile

It made sense
To jump with Jens
Buck vaults in the air
Like a frog or a hare

Skydiving together
Is as good as ever

Jannu had a blast

Exiting the aircraft

My namesake's test jump yesterday
Included a 4-way
Well, well
It really went well

We Went to Have Fun

We went to have fun
Above the clouds we saw the sun
See the smiles
At the altitude of 1½ miles ☺☺☺☺

FS 8-way Pimp My Fly 2011

See us fall through the sky
See us fly
Making formations
Human constellations

Landing

As you may have known

I landed on the Pori Dropzone
With my Sabre red and black
And Wings on my back
See how soft it is to land
You can steer with your hands

Fly, My Child (28 April 2007)

Just a little while ago, I was just a little child ♪♫♬♩

After just another while I will be an old wise guy
But first I'll see how my own child will find his way to his own life

Just a little while ago, you were just a little boy
Now I see a fine youg man full of hope and filled with joy
If I could give you all I would, I'd give you more than one one could

Now spread your wings, my child, and fly

Boldly to the windy sky

Trust your wings — don't hesitate — they will carry you
Just hear the voice you know is right
Your roots are strong, they'll guide your flight
On the brightest day and through the darkest night

When I gave you my advice, it was often hard to know
How to guide my little child, what to say and what to show
So love is what I tried to share, and how to trust and how to care

When you fly into a storm and you don't know how to cope
Don't you ever fear the worst, don't you ever lose your hope
The door into your childhood nest welcomes you home to take a rest

Now spread your wings, my child, and fly
Boldly to the windy sky
Trust your wings — don't hesitate — they will carry you
Just hear the voice you know is right
Your roots are strong, they'll guide your flight
On the brightest day and through the darkest night

Now spread your wings, my child, and fly
Boldly to the windy sky
Trust your wings — don't hesitate — they will carry you
Just hear the voice you know is right
Your roots are strong, they'll guide your flight
On the brightest day and through the darkest night

Easter Monday Sit-fly

Let's fly high
To the sky
To skydive

A shortened version of my skydive 763. This was my first own video recording during a skydive, with the camera on my hand.

Snow, You Shan't Be Well

Thus I better cast a spell
Snow, you shan't be feeling well
Thy fate is soon to go away
Thou art weaker than the ray
Of the blessed blissful sun
Soon the summer shall have won

Does It Really Have to Be 4?

Does it really have to be four?
Is it better than the one before?

Should I buy an iPhone 4?

Should I buy an iPhone 4?
What for?
Should I walk to the store
Open the door
And buy the ultimate phone to adore?
And my life would never be a bore?
Or
Should I just go to a web store?
But if want more
Should I wait before
I buy the iPhone 4?
There might be a price war
Or a phone war
Should I wait and explore?
Or is the iPhone 4
Too good for me to ignore?

My Friend Has an iPhone 4

As you can easily comprehend
I am really glad for my friend
She opened a new door
She has an iPhone four

I think she found the core
Her iPhone four
Offers her so much more
Than the iPhone she had before

But now that she has her iPhone four
I'd like to ask you all
Why doesn't she ever call?
I think I'll post this on her wall

Love Can Do Many Things

Love can do many things ♡❤♥
It can give you wings
Love can make you sing
And feel like a queen or a king

Love makes you giving
You feel you are living
It's always worth loving
Love is for you, honey

Galaxy

Every spring I feel as if the years are darker than before
In the trees the leaves are always gleaming dimmer than I've seen them
Every day is shorter than the previous days have ever been
And the faces of my loved ones aren't as bright as in my memories

Soon
Tell me, please tell me soon
That we still have the time left
Soon
Tell me, please tell me
That the story is only starting

To the skies, reaching Mars
Past the galaxies of stars
To the heights of the mind
Like the yearning of mankind
Flying through the skies to freedom
See this fearless dark bird flying
To be free

Someone bribes their destiny with earthly gold and silver plates
Someone heaps a mountain of their virtues showing higher than the skies
Someone takes their every step so cautiously with wariness
Someone wastes their loving into falling into love like always

Soon
Tell me, please tell me soon
That we still have the time left
Soon
Tell me, please tell me
That our life is only starting

To the skies, reaching Mars
Past the galaxies of stars
To the heights of the mind
Like the yearning of mankind
To the skies, reaching Mars
Past the galaxies of stars
To the heights of the mind
Like the yearning of mankind
Flying through the skies to freedom
See this fearless dark bird flying
To be free

In the songs it's winter and at night the lovers are now lying in the snow
Thinking that they see the angels when they lie there in the coldness
Staring to the shining arches in the radiant starry night sky
Hand in hand they are now dreaming
Side by side they are

To the skies, reaching Mars
Past the galaxies of stars
To the heights of the mind
Like the yearning of mankind
To the skies, reaching Mars
Past the galaxies of stars
To the heights of the mind
Like the yearning of mankind
Flying through the skies to freedom
See this fearless dark bird flying
To be free

Gloomy Land Tango

The birds are leaving
The leaves are falling
The fall is creeping
So creepy this sadness is now

No inspiration
For celebration
The daylight's hiding now
This town is still smiling round

(Now all the people sing along)

Gloomy land tango has always been my share
(Gloomy land, gloomy land, gloomy land)
Gloomy land tango, I don't wish to go elsewhere
(Wish to go, wish to go, o no no)

I'm happy here when the darkness falls near
Sadness is always joy in my grieving
My sadness is my home, so stable is my soul
When singing my feelings, it's easier in gloomy land
(Gloomy land tango, gloomy land tango)

My world is changing
No end to darkness
Soon winters leave us
This change is so scary and wild
No peace in my mind
In endless daylight
The daylight's hiding now
This town is still smiling round

(Now all the people sing along)

Gloomy land tango has always been my share
(Gloomy land, gloomy land, gloomy land)
Gloomy land tango, I don't wish to go elsewhere
(Wish to go, wish to go, o no no)

I'm happy here when the darkness falls near
Sadness is always joy in my grieving
My sadness is my home, so stable is my soul
When singing my feelings, it's easier in gloomy land

Gloomy land tango has always been my share
Gloomy land tango, I don't wish to go elsewhere
I'm happy here when the darkness falls near
Sadness is always joy in my grieving

My sadness is my home, so solid is my soul
When singing my feelings, it's easier in gloomy land
