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.

To You Alone
Pilot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never pass me by
You and I could find a love within
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
Together all the time
It's getting hard to live without your love
It was you,
You made me fall in love
I could find the time
To get to you alone
Alone tonight and
Love, love, love
Are you blind
You and I were meant to be
Together all the time
Never mind the love you left behind
It was you,
You made me fall in love
When love was new
I could find the time
To get to you alone
Alone tonight and
Love, love, love
Tell me something, is it true
I belong to you
You and I could live our life alone
Never hurry, never hide
Never pass me by
You and I could find a love within
The lyrics to Pilot's song To You Alone are an invitation to love and connection. The message is simple and straightforward: never hurry, never hide, and never pass by the opportunity to find love with someone. The song speaks about the rush of falling in love, the excitement of a new relationship, and the longing that comes when it's not possible to be close to the person we love.
The song expresses the idea that the two people involved are meant to be together and that they should not mind the love they left behind, as what they have now is what matters. It's a song about seizing the moment to be with someone despite the obstacles that may come their way. The words "it was you, you made me fall in love when love was new" convey the nostalgia and the power of memories that remain unchanged despite time.
