Soaring
Sydney Forest Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Im soaring all alone
and on my own Im soaring
and I know my heart will lead me home

Just look in my eyes
cant you see Im not the same today
I can see farther now
step from the edge Im making my own way
dont know where Im gonna land
but you gotta wobble before you stand
Im soaring all alone and on my own
Im soaring and I know my heart will lead me home
and I know that I am gonna touch the sky

Im soaring all alone and on my own
Im soaring and I know my heart will lead me home
all alone and on my own
soaring all alone and on my own

im soaring all alone and on my own
im soaring all alone and on my own

We've been watching our VHS of "KiKi" since 1990. How disappointing that they remastered the DVDs without these tracks, and without so many great lines of dialogue from the late Phil Hartman.

The only thing they needed to remove was Kiki being able to understand Jiji again, because it kinda ruined her character arc, but the other things they definitely should have kept.

The English versions of the older Ghibli movies are definitely nostalgic to me, so I’m biased, but this song is and continues to be iconic. While I’m fond of the original song now, and it’s arguably more suited for the mid-20th century setting of the film, I always looked forward to this scene because of how much I loved this song. <3

I got into the Ghibli movies in college, watching them all for the first time. I got to this one around my senior graduation when I was facing my future and feeling overwhelmed. The opening to this movie with her saying goodbye to her family and flying off really hit me at the time. I started crying, feeling connected to the lyrics, and I kinda felt embarrassed as a 22 year old guy being moved by a little girl's journey, but there I was crying. This song will always have a special place in my heart for that reason.

It's so funny that you say this! I haven't seen Kiki's Delivery Service since I was a teen (now in my early 30's) and I saw it on Hbomax and popped it on. Geez, I started crying immediately when she was saying goodbye to her family...I felt a little embarrassed to be crying from a kid's movie I've already seen, but it really hits different when you're older. Glad I'm not the only one :)

I actually went to the effort of looking for the original 2002 DVD release of the film. Eventually I found a used copy for a good price on Ebay and it was in PERFECT condition. The original songs (the English ones not the Japanese) and dialogue was included just like the VHS one. So if you want the VHS version with the English songs look into the 2002 DVD and not the Blu ray combo set.

Hi there!, maybe I'm late to this, however this song has had a great impact on my life. I love the simplicity of studio Ghibli songs, the magic in every lyric, it permits the mind to wonder to places yet explored by many of us. In a few months, I'm taking off in a sailboat to the south seas.

I'm free as a bird, lost in the stars and waving down to Earth, don't know where I'm going to land, but you got to wobble before you stand.

Anyway, those lyrics aside, I'm taking off with nothing more than my beautiful cat and myself on a Cheoy Lee 33! These past months I've spent a great amount of expenses preparing my boat for the south seas. My time in the navy has helped prepare me, however, a submariner only knows so much. many concepts of surface sailing are rather trivial. But I'll say, if Tania Aebi can do it, well so can I.

I did my research, and when Sydney Forest sung this song, she was 27. God, even after all my years in, I'm only 24. That alone gives me promise that even at my age, I'm not too old to soar.

Same here! I'm subscribing! Love this song and anime moive. This moive was the one that made me love anime and it made me start watching anime that opened me up to so many anime movies and series. Well so did Spirited Away. And Totoro. I love anime! And the music of course. That's what brings the anime alive.

I remember how angry I was when I rented Kiki’s Delivery Service on DVD at Blockbuster and it played this weird piano Japanese song instead, which did not fit the scenery or capture the sense of adventure of Kiki leaving home. I went to the trouble of buying the 2003 American DVD. Cost near one-hundred dollars. Worth it!

Been wanting to rewatch the OG VHS version recently but hate how every website I visited always have the "new" version of kiki, no matter how hard I try to find the original VHS english movie version there's always the new versions and I've given up searching to watch the VHS dub. I have considered about buying the OG VHS eng dub but at the moment I'm still saving up so maybe sometime in the near future. Idk it just really sucks that the VHS movie can't be found anywhere anymore, heck no one even uploaded it on the torrent website I always rely on. And yeah I get that the newer versions try to stay as closely accurate to the original Japanese version but man I'm just not fond of it, I grew up watching Kiki on the VHS tapes and that version stay stuck to me as a child heavily back then. I would rewatch it over and over as a kid to the point I ended up remembering a lot of lines, scenes, some additional soundtrack they've thrown in, heck even jiji's sarcastic lines and I've enjoyed them all. I really heavily regretted we threw out all of our VHS tapes somewhere in the 2010s because our family wasn't using them anymore, I wish I could go back in time and stop my parents from doing so. It just really sucks the OG VHS version has became lost media over time, if only I could rewatch it to relive my childhood memories :/ It's a shame I can't revisit to watch it anymore all thanks to the new versions keeps on being everywhere on all of the websites I've visited 🙄

My first Ghibli film, so it’s my favorite. I’m 47 now and I’ve always wanted to live in a town like the one Kiki settled in.

It is on youtube: Hoku "A perfect Day, nothing can go wrong. Song stolen by Universal Records, from the DVD version, but is still on the VHS.

I envy kids who grew up with this movie. I watched it for the first time when I was 30 years old in Japan. Now I'm smart enough to say it should be shown in schools.
