"Shortly after the two musicians met, they began producing a series of pop demos as well as a series of instrumental selections. The latter became the basis for the duo's 1987 Windham Hill debut, One Night in Vienna. Their pop demos provided the impetus for a second release, Under a Big Sky, which includes vocal tunes as well as more pop-oriented instrumentals."

Schönherz & Scott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got me runnin' all over this town
Is it too late to figure this out?
Up in the air, are we bringin' it down
Up in the air, are we bringin' it down
Up in the air, are we bringin' it down
Up in the air, are we bringin' it down
Tell me what you wanna say, what you need to say, what you want
Tell me what you wanna say, what you need to say, what you want
Tell me what you wanna say, what you need to say, what you want
Tell me what you wanna say, what you need to say, what you want
Up in the air, are we bringin' it down
Up in the air, are we bringin' it down
Up in the air, are we bringin' it down
Up in the air, are we bringin' it down
The lyrics to Schönherz & Scott's song "Air" reflect the uncertainty and confusion that can arise in a relationship. The singer seems to be in a state of desperation, as if there is no other way to escape their current situation. They are running all over town, searching for answers but unable to find them. The repetitive use of the phrase "up in the air" adds to the sense of instability and unpredictability in the situation. The singer wonders if it's too late to figure things out, but the question remains unanswered. The refrain "tell me what you wanna say, what you need to say, what you want" is a plea for communication and honesty, but it's unclear if the other person is willing or able to provide those things.
The song is open to interpretation, but it seems to be about the struggle to keep a relationship afloat when there is a lack of communication and understanding. The imagery of being up in the air, unsure if they are bringing things down or not, is a powerful metaphor for the state of the relationship. Overall, the lyrics to "Air" capture the frustration and anxiety that can accompany a relationship that is hanging by a thread.
