1. Sky was an English-based… Read Full Bio ↴There are ten different bands named Sky.
1. Sky was an English-based progressive rock band, formed in 1978 when classical guitarist John Williams decided to team up with Herbie Flowers, Francis Monkman, Tristan Fry and Kevin Peek. After a protracted search for a record company, they eventually signed with the small European label Ariola Records. Their self-titled debut album was highly successful in Britain and Australia. Their follow up double album, "Sky 2", was even more so being the tenth highest selling in Britain for all of 1980.
The departure of Francis Monkman led to his replacement by Steve Gray, who took the band to a more jazz influenced area. Subsequent albums saw a gradual dwindling in quality and success. After their sixth album, "Cadmium", John Williams too left the band. Sky were to record only two more albums, "The Great Balloon Race" and "Mozart". The latter of these was produced with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, and was their most successful album in the United States.
2. Sky Sailors Delight the second album by the Knack's Doug Fieger was produced by Jimmy Miller with Andy Johns, eight years before producer Mike Chapman would unleash "My Sharona" on the world. Fieger's "Don't Want Nobody" has all the elements that Miller put into his Stones hits and Traffic classic album cuts -- piano and flute supplement the folk guitar and vocal, giving the singer an enviable platform. The album is a solid representation of Fieger's song compositions and pre-Knack efforts; "Let It Lie Low" is a nice bit of pop/rock that foretells what was to come, a happy-go-lucky drumbeat by Robby Stawinski exploding when the Rolling Stones' horn section of Bobby Keys and Jim Price kicks in. Young Fieger's letter to producer Miller not only landed him the two albums on RCA, it enabled the group to get the great players here, like guitarist John Uribe and the Stones' pianist Ian Stewart, continuing the tradition of the stellar guests who showed up for Sky's first album. "Taking the Long Way Home" definitely sounds like an American version of Traffic, with conga drums that help the transition from this song to the piano ballad "Come Back." Again, the Stones' horns come in to add a touch of class, creating a nice bed for the powerful song-title chorus to emphasize Feiger's slinky vocal. This track is outstanding, and should have been a staple on 1971 FM radio. Miller was quite busy in the early '70s with Locomotiv GT, the Savage Rose, the Rolling Stones, Delaney & Bonnie, George Harrison, and Ginger Baker's Air Force, among others. Sailor's Delight, with its beautiful red sunrise/sunset cover, is a lost gem from the major producer at the peak of his powers as well as from his discovery Fieger, who went on to create the hit of the summer of 1979, "My Sharona." Inside these grooves are melodies and performances that verify Miller's genius; "Tooly" has an island feel while John Coury's "Sing for Me" comes off like the serious side of Tommy James. "Sing for Me," "Come Back," and "Low Down" from this disc would be perfect Sky contributions for the inevitable Jimmy Miller production box set. As entertaining as it is historical, Sailor's Delight is creative work from the master producer and the musicians he believed in enough to sign. How many "name" producers on a hot streak would gamble on an unknown singer, with validation coming years later as the singer went on to worldwide fame?
3. Sky is also the name of a R&B/Pop duo from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, consisting of James Renald and Antoine Sicotte. The duo found success with their songs "Some Kinda Wonderful" and "Love Song" from their "Piece Of Paradise" album.
In 2000, Renald left the group due to camera shyness. He was replaced by Anastacia from Montreal (not to be confused with the American-born Anastacia). The new duo released two singles, "Superhero" and "You", from the album "Travelling Infinity".
In 2003, Sky changed members once again, with Anastacia being replaced by Karl Wolf, releasing only one single "Dedication".
Ultimately, Sky broke up, with Karl Wolf going solo.
4. Sky is a pop/dance band from Russia. The current lineup is: Iren (vocals), MC Green (programming), Oleg (drums), Jopson (guitar). (Tracks: Мальчик ищет маму, Судьба, Под запретом, Всё будет.)
5. There's another Sky in Russia. He's a young drum and bass producer from St. Peterburg, who started his career in year 2000. On 2004 he released his debut album "Transient Oblivion".
6. Sky is a progressive rock band from Hell in Trøndelag, Norway. The band consists of Frode Kvarsnes, Terje Husa, Tommy Folstadli, Magne Kolsrud and Reidulf Wormdahl.
7. Sky was a five-member Cantonese pop boy band from Hong Kong which released four albums, starting in 1999. They released their last album "Higher than Sky" in 2005.
8. Sky was a 9-piece R&B band in the late seventies, a project mainly consisting of members from the Phenix Horns, the famous brass section of Earth Wind & Fire, most notably Don Myrick and Louis "Lui Lui" Satterfield. They released one self titled album in 1979.
9. SKY was the stage name of South Korean singer and actor Choi Jin-Young. His first album, the 1999 release "Final Fantasy," was a success with the popular single "영원 (Forever)" topping music charts. Choi went on to release two more albums before his death in 2010.
10. SKY is a power vocalist from the Boston area that describes her music as "Popera" or Pop-Opera. Her specific style comes from her background in opera, pop, rock, and theatre. With the fusion of said genres and theater experience, her library is made of unique ballads with vivid storytelling. In January 2019 SKY's debut I Can't Say was released.
11. Sky is a spanish artist from the madrilenean city of Fuenlabrada. As of writing, working for his EP.

Sky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Flew in Friday night
Twelve hours, my head felt tired
Couldn't stop for too long
Between here and oz, I knew we'd gone
A long way from our home
Cultural shock was stinger strong
Adventure is what I need and so did she
'Stasia said "let's get wild"
I want to see the town and maybe find a place to dance and have a good time
'Cause Tony you see I've got needs if you please
How does it feel to be out here without a home
Y'all keep on moving 'til you find what you're searching
CHORUS
Friday night, I'm on the floor
I can't get enough but I want some more
I know we'll back another day
Dancing all night in Tokyo
Flash of light through the door
Just like a kid in a candy store
My favourite track, I have to stay
Dancing all night in Tokyo
As I thought, the venue was fine
The people were crazy, the people were high
You got to know about my friend called Alexis
He humped a ride here from Texas
State of mind, we all try
To do our best from time to time
So now we're here across the world
Still don't know where I belong
How does it feel to be out here without a home
Y'all keep on moving 'til you find what you're searching

Flew in Friday night
We arrived in Tokyo on a Friday evening
Twelve hours, my head felt tired
The long flight left me feeling exhausted
Couldn't stop for too long
We didn't have much time to rest
Between here and oz, I knew we'd gone
We had travelled a long distance from our home in Australia
A long way from our home
We were far from familiar surroundings
Cultural shock was stinger strong
The difference in culture was overwhelming
It didn't matter 'cause for me
Despite the cultural differences, I was excited to explore Tokyo
Adventure is what I need and so did she
Both of us were looking for an adventure in a new place
'Stasia said "let's get wild"
Anastasia suggested we have a fun and exciting night out
I want to see the town and maybe find a place to dance and have a good time
We were looking for a lively spot in Tokyo
'Cause Tony you see I've got needs if you please
Anastasia emphasized that she wanted to have a good time and make the most of our trip
How does it feel to be out here without a home
We felt a bit lost and out of place in a foreign country
Y'all keep on moving 'til you find what you're searching
We were determined to keep exploring Tokyo until we found the excitement we were looking for
Friday night, I'm on the floor
We were dancing on a Friday night
I can't get enough but I want some more
We were enjoying the experience and didn't want it to end
I know we'll back another day
We were sure we would return to Tokyo in the future
Flash of light through the door
There was a sudden burst of light coming from the entrance
Just like a kid in a candy store
We were excited and eager to explore and experience everything Tokyo had to offer
My favourite track, I have to stay
We were dancing to our favorite song and didn't want to leave the dance floor
The people were crazy, the people were high
The crowd was lively and energetic
You got to know about my friend called Alexis
Anastasia wanted to tell me about her friend Alexis who had joined us on the trip
He humped a ride here from Texas
Alexis had hitchhiked from Texas to Tokyo
State of mind, we all try
We were all in a positive and adventurous state of mind
To do our best from time to time
We were trying to make the most of each moment and experience
So now we're here across the world
Despite being far from home, we were happy and enjoying our trip
Still don't know where I belong
We were still trying to find our place and purpose in the world

It almost defies belief that a city this large can exist. I can’t even imagine how much food, water and energy it takes to sustain it.

Yes, and?

Great video, thank you.
I went to Skytree in 2016 and again 2017, the view is fantastic.
Looking down at how big Tokyo is, I thought that somewhere down there someone was being born, 2 people were meeting for the first time who will become good friends, a relationship was ending, and sadly, someone was dying. Tokyo is just so big with so many people that everything that is part of human life is always happening there.

Jep.. in a minute-frame.
Its terrifying and "breathtakingly" astonishing at the same time. And what amazed me too is, that it seems like there is just this town. Usually, when i observe an skyline at the horizon i can see hills/mountains or woods or anything sparking into the sky. But here (maybe its just in the video) you witness an seemingly endless plain of concrete and flourishing futuristic life and.

Such a breathtaking view of the worlds biggest city. Makes London look like a small village. Great video J.E. Could you do another one on a clear day and show us Mt Fuji in the distance ?

Modern architectural engineering never fails to impress. I'm in awe, hope to visit myself some day!

Been here many times and will love to go there again to enjoy the sun set in the evening. It's a beautiful Tokyo evening scenery from Sky Tree.
(Proof of my existence)
I love Japan so much. Thanks for uploading this video. I hope one day I will go there and see for myself.
