I know that the Dopers will not let me down.

I happened to catch just a minute or so of a recent music video while passing through a restaurant in Lythrodontas. The singer is flying (standing upright) for much of the video. He has moderately long hair and the wind is ruffling his clothes. It is a rural setting (mountains, fields, etc.) I think that it is a power ballad. I have no idea what the song is or who the artist is. The FX are good.

Can someone identify this song/video? It’s driving me nuts. I’m not a big fan of recent music, so I don’t have a clue.

Harry Styles, “[Sign of the Times](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN4ooNx77u0)”? He takes off around 1:20.

It’s probably not David Hasselhoff’'s video for [Hooked on a Feeling](https://youtu.be/PJQVlVHsFF8), but The Hoff does fly around a lot in it–and if you need a laugh it’s worth a watch.

Well, it’s certainly not “recent,” but the video for Paul McCartney’s “Flying to My Home” fits your description pretty well.

Many thanks! Got it in one try! It was driving me nuts. I kept getting links to “Learning to Fly” when I searched by description.
