After a brief hiatus Up Front wrote and recorded the Movement CD in 1997. After a handful of US shows, a tour of Japan in 1998, and their third summer tour of Europe in 1999 followed.

Landing
Up Front Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Up Front's song "Landing" perfectly encapsulate that moment of feeling lost and uncertain in life. The opening lines, "Falling from the heights you never even knew you were afraid of/ Been blinded by the light you didn't even think you'd ever see" describe a sudden shift in perspective, where the singer finds themselves plummeting from a once-stable position, and waking up to a reality they hadn't expected. The imagery of being "locked inside an empty room with all the windows left wide open" is particularly evocative, as it suggests a sense of entrapment even in the midst of potential freedom.
The chorus is an introspective reflection on the power of listening and the search for meaning. The singer notes that "listening to everything does wonders for the deaf ones," suggesting that paying close attention to the world around us can open up new insights and perspectives. However, the next line, "searching for the open door has got no sense of irony" hints at the frustration that can come with seeking answers. Sometimes, even when we know what we're looking for, it can be difficult to find, leading to a sense of hopelessness.
The final lines of the song offer a glimmer of hope: "maybe then we'll start to understand it all/ and we'll fall into everything no one will believe/ we'll be everything." Here, the singer seems to be suggesting that even in the midst of confusion and uncertainty, there is a possibility for growth and transcendence. By embracing the unknown, we may discover things about ourselves and the world that we never imagined possible.

Unfortunately audio coverage in CLT is very limited so we are unable to find more communications.
Kudos to pilots and emergency personnel!
