High Across the Open Sky

The story behind the song

High Across the Open Sky captures the moment when the runway disappears behind you and the world below begins to shrink into lights. It is about the calm, almost dreamlike transition from the weight of the ground to the stillness of altitude — cockpit glow, moonlight, clouds and the feeling of moving through a world that few people ever experience this way. The song is also dedicated to the bravery of women pilots and the enthusiasm, skill and perspective they bring to aviation each time they rise into the sky — by day or night — climbing beyond the familiar world below and toward the upper troposphere.
