1. DROPS OF JUPITER - TRAIN

Now that she's back in the atmosphere

With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey, hey

She acts like summer and walks like rain

Reminds me that there's a time to change, hey, hey, hey

Since the return from her stay on the moon

She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Listen here.

2. LET’S GO FLY A KITE - RICHARD & ROBERT SHERMAN

Let's go fly a kite

Up to the highest height

Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring

Up through the atmosphere

Up where the air is clear

Oh let's go fly a kite

Listen here.

3. ATMOSPHERE - KASKADE

All my life I've been a star

Holding a light up in the dark

While I try to keep clear

Of all the waves in your atmosphere

All my life I've been a star

Holding a light up in the dark

While I try to keep clear

Of all the waves in your atmosphere

Listen here.

4. IN THE AIR TONIGHT - PHIL COLLINS

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord

And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Oh Lord

Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord

Listen here.

5. WALKING ON AIR - KATY PERRY

Tonight, tonight, tonight, I’m walking on air

You’re giving me sweet, sweet ecstasy

Yeah, you take me to utopia

You’re reading me like erotica

Boy, you make me feel exotic, yeah

Just when I think I can’t take anymore

We go deeper and harder than ever before

We go higher and higher

I feel like I’m already there

Listen here.

6. ROCK YOUR BODY - JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE

So you grab your girls

And you grab a couple more

And you all come meet me

In the middle of the floor

Said the air is thick, it's smelling right

So you pass to the left and you sail to the right

Don't be so quick to walk away

Dance with me

Listen here.

7. SOMETHING IN THE AIR - SPEEDY KEEN, THUNDERCLAP NEWMAN

Call out the instigators

Because there's something in the air

We've got to get together sooner or later

Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right

And you know that it's right

We have got to get it together

We have got to get it together now

Listen here.

8. YOU’RE IN THE AIR - REM

I'm what you found, I'm upside down

You're in the air, you're in the air and I am breathing you

I want the stars to know they've won if only to beguile

The sky has opened up again in heavens reconciled

I want you naked, I want you wild, I want the stars to know they win

Give me that smile, just give it me, just turn it on, I'm lost again

I'm what you found, I'm upside down

You're in the air

Listen here.

9. IN YOUR ATMOSPHERE - JOHN MAYER

Hold on to your hotel key in your bedroom neighborhood

Me sleep-walking in Hollywood

I'm gonna steer clear

I’d burn up in your atmosphere

I'm gonna steer clear

Cause I'd die if I saw you

I'd die if I didn't see you there

So I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore

Listen here.

10. WALKING ON SUNSHINE - KATRINA & THE WAVES

Walking on sunshine

I feel alive, I feel a love

I feel a love that's really real

I feel alive, I feel a love

I feel a love that's really real

I'm on sunshine, baby

Listen here.
