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.

I am a pilot, and I absolutely love this song because it reminds me so much of flying. The entire lead up reminds of the slow taxiing all the way out to the runway. The climax beginning at 3:46 gives me the same feeling of lining up on the end of the runway in a momentary idle and then pushing to full throttle, barreling down the runway until the aircraft can lift off the pavement and rush up into the sky. Great song!

I just love this song. To me, it pictures life, the floods and ebbs of emotions... the hopes and progress you make towards your dreams and then the sudden setbacks... and then again the resilience to continue moving forward no matter what until you finally get to where you always dreamed of.

No one gives a crap about your mathematical music Tracy. The sad thing is you probably listen to this and only hear the imperfections. You can probably play or even possibly create beautiful music but you'll never hear anything but the numbers.

Tracy Quach

There's no denying the beauty in her pieces but in composition, her songs are significantly more repetitive and Yanni's pieces have much more depth and diversity. I know because I've played pieces from both composers

After doing a little bit of digging I can't seem to find this song being used in any movie. The best I could come up with is that it sounds similar to both Thomas Newman's Road to Perdition score, and Rachel Portman's Cider House Rules score. Kinda like a combination of the two.

The first time I heard this piece (Pandora), the artwork made me think she was thinking of the original aviators - birds. Then I saw the video of the BA advert, and read the rest. Wonderful. As an old military, corporate, airline, and corporate - again - pilot, who eats, sleeps, and dreams aviation, this piece is a blessing. Thank You.

This ballad, song, this musical piece is absolutely beautiful. Inspiring and timeless. I wonder if the same emotions that we feel today would have been felt 100 years ago or a century in the future. Or what another intelligent life form in the Universe would think and feel if they heard this. So beautiful -- is this not divine intervention?

I picture WWI Allied pilots triumphantly celebrating the end of the war from they're aerodrome. There's one dude in a plane doing flybys screaming in relief that he and his comrades survived the war and they're all so happy to be alive and on they're way home to they're families.

I am INCREDIBLY picky when it comes to music. Classical is my favorite and piano the favorite of that. I only like the works that are the absolute masterpieces and them I can listen to time and again, always losing myself in the moment. This piece is now one of them for me.

I am the type that does not like to move to music but to let the music move through me and this piece moves through me in profound and multidimensional ways. I just want to thank you from my heart for your contribution to absolute celestial beauty!

Possibly if you've played Dragon Age, one of the themes is reminiscent of a part of "The Dawn Will Come."

The opening motif can be heard in the music from Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas, which predates this piece by a dozen years. Make of that what you will! It's a lovely piece, though.

a cool summer day in 1916 you see planes overhead dancing and weaving with one another but then suddenly fire spews from the sky a huge shadow blocks out the sun a airship destroys the puny planes and they fall as if a they wer flies that were swatted you continue to march forward hoping to find of this hellhole know full well you will wont make it out but then over the trenches huge steel behmoths come and you begin to charge holding on to a glimmer of hope that you will prevail.
