I'd quote a lyric but I have no idea what they are

I discovered this song shortly before I was headed back to New York at Christmas a couple years ago.

Since then, it's become somewhat of a flight ritual for me to engage in a little bit of illegal procedure with my electronic device and listen to it as we're preparing to take off so that the big, beautiful crescendo at the beginning coincides with our liftoff and any and all feelings of being grounded begin to just fall away.

I've only just discovered the video today but it makes me feel every bit as free and unfettered as the song does by itself.

There should be roving gangs of golden agers acting like children all over the place, as far as I'm concerned. Great song, great vid.
