Fly! is a flight simulator for PC and Apple Macintosh computers developed by Terminal Reality and published by Gathering of Developers. It includes simulation of air traffic control features as well as aircraft's on-board systems, and was acclaimed for its highly detailed fully working interactive cockpits. Featured aircraft were exclusively fixed-wing light to medium aircraft. An enhanced version, Fly! 2K, and add-on, Wilco's 737 for Fly!, were released in 2000. A sequel, Fly! II, was released in 2001.
"Fly" is a song by American singer-songwriter Phillip Phillips from his second studio album, Behind the Light, which will be released by Interscope Records.
"Fly" was recorded in New York City and was produced by Todd Clark.
MUSICInsideU says that "Fly is about the battle between who people think he is and tie him down to, and who he really is. "These people never notice me. Am I the only one who thinks it's hard." Phillip breaks other people's categories of him, mixing rock guitar solos with his typical acoustic sound. His almost-country style voice also blends with darker rock lyrics in the new single Fly." He added "The meaning of Phillip Phillips' Fly is about who he is - applied to you, it's about who you are. Outside, there's "the busy street... these people never notice me." I don't fit in, says Phillip, "it's hard to say what's on my mind." The questions are "give up? How should I survive?" A part feels like just giving in and blending into the "two thousand faces" of the crowd. The deeper part of Phillip rebels against just being like everyone else. "Think your fight is over? It's only so much closer." Phillip won't give up breaking out of the walls of this "cruel maze" of a nameless society: "I reach my hands to the sky... and fly!""
A fly on clothing is a covering over an opening concealing the mechanism, such as a zip, velcro, or buttons, used to close the opening. The term is most frequently applied to a short opening over the groin in trousers, shorts, and other garments, which makes them easier to put on or take off and allows men and boys to urinate without lowering the garment. The term is also used of overcoats, where a design of the same shape is used to hide a row of buttons. This style is common on a wide range of coats, from single-breasted Chesterfields to covert coats.
An open fly is a fly that has been left unzipped or unbuttoned.
Trousers have varied historically in whether or not they have flies. Originally, trousers did not have flies or other openings, being pulled down for sanitary functions. The use of a codpiece, a separate covering attached to the trousers, became popular in 16th-century Europe, eventually evolving into an attached fall-front (or broad fall). The fly-front (split fall) emerged later. The panelled front returned as a sporting option, such as in riding breeches, but is now hardly used, flies being by far the most common fastening. Most flies now use a zip, though button flies continue in use.
Yeah I'm a believer, I won't be beleaguered
I give a damn, no Leave it to Beaver
With the R-E-S-P-E-C-T like Aretha
And if I don't use my feet then I won't have that either
Yes we serve, we deserve some peace
And we serve the least versed to reverse
The deep hurt that's featured
Each turn of the sheet of a learned history
Like Wall Street, the Trail of Tears and the War in the Philippines
And I wash my hands clean like surgeons in emergencies
Median on weed like conjoinment and Glucosamines
Relap the joint and wound the knee
And be like? we're not hearing a beat
From the projects like? and research
We're jumping in feet-first
Reaction on the knee-jerk
Don't let his story recur
Swipe? like a Visa
A fire doesn't need a sinkhole
Just the silence of the people
As for me, I'm gonna be free
I'm gonna be free from all of this history
Yeah, me, I'm gonna be free, I'm gonna be free
I rhyme post-post-ironic flows (homo)
I came to fuck shut up, homos
Stonewall, laugh at that, no no
Don't y'all assume that I'm straight
Cause you don't know
I'm close to the edge like Bono
Won't fall victim to the Gordian Knot
Trying to sort again rock mine
Plot lines are stretched like accordion
To Resurrect, born again, in division
Free from all the history
Beef with salt and misery
Just how it should be for y'all and is for me
That's the truth, blppppp as bald as
Mr. Clean, spit it like Listerine
'Till my lips are stinging hot, scalding, blistering
I'm composting primitive thoughts
And prayers what we want most
? lock the prison with God's forgiveness
It's it a bunch of?
Touchdown like Broncos
The song goes on like ponchos
As for me, I'm gonna be free
I'm gonna be free from all of this history
Yeah, me, I'm gonna be free, I'm gonna be free
And if we can start a riot (well what can we really do?)
If we can tear a city down (what can we really do?)
Crush enemies, cause casualties
If we can start a movement
If we can lift a city up
If we can heal the wounded
Feed our families, face history
As for me, I'm gonna be free
I'm gonna be free from all of this history
