1) Pilot was a rock group formed in 1973 in Edinburgh, Scotland by former Bay City Rollers members David Paton (vocals and bass) and Billy Lyall (keyboards).
The 1974 single Magic from their debut album was a #11 UK and #5 US hit and remains a pop classic. The simple but catchy pop ditty January gave them their biggest hit, securing the #1 spot in the UK singles chart in January 1975.
The band's only other chart hits were Call Me Round and Just A Smile (both 1975). By the time 1977 came around only Paton and Ian Bairnson (guitar) were left from the original foursome, and they recorded Pilot's final album (the aptly entitled Two's a Crowd) alone.
By 1978, all of Pilot's members had moved on to other projects, notably Stuart Tosh (drums), Paton and Bairnson becoming core members of The Alan Parsons Project (who recorded their first album), and Tosh also working with 10cc.

8) Pilot, also known as PilOt (Russian: Пилот , ПилОт ) is a Russian rock band from Saint Petersburg, founded by Ilja Knabengof in 1997. Years active: 1997–present.
The roots of the band stretch back to 1994, at which point it was called Military Jane . In this incarnation, the band had a raw, melodic grunge style reminiscent of Alice In Chains, and featured Knabengof singing in English. Military Jane released three albums, "Home" (1995) "Home Live '95", and "Blackest Paint Colored Brush" (1996) with limited success. The band's single "Wherry?" although popular, was met with controversy and the music video was banned from MTV. During the "Rock '96" festival in Saint Petersburg, the band performed a new song "Мама" (Mama) for the first time. The style of the song took on a contrasting pop direction, with Knabengof finding an original singing voice. The next year, Military Jane 's name was changed to Пилот (Pilot). In February 1999, the band launch its first official website.

First After Me
Pilot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't worry about the way it could be
Oh no boy
I can see the sun go down
Don't you worry about the way I frown
Oh no boy, oh no boy
I can catch a sunny day
I can catch it when I'm far away
Don't you think I've made you so proud
You're no longer just a face in the crowd
Oh no boy, oh no boy

The lyrics of Pilot's song "First After Me" are intriguing and open to interpretation. The singer is talking to someone, most likely a lover, telling them that they can come first after them. The singer is trying to reassure this person that they do not need to worry about any potential negative outcomes or consequences of being with them. The singer seems to see the person they are talking to as a source of light and happiness, mentioning the sun setting and rising, and they are telling their lover that they are not the cause of their recent frown.
Towards the end of the song, the singer mentions that the person they are speaking to has made them so proud and that they are no longer just a face in the crowd. It is possible that the person they are talking to has recently accomplished something significant, and the singer is expressing their admiration and gratitude.

Overall, "First After Me" is a song that seems to be about love, reassurance, and comfort. The lyrics are vague enough to allow for a variety of interpretations, but the general mood of the song is one of positivity and warmth.

I am really enjoying listening to these Pilot tracks again..Wasn't there a track on this album that mentioned 'running water' or something like that?...It was a track I really used to love but I haven't seen it on YouTube yet. Strange, because most of the other tracks are up.
