“Fly Away” by Lenny Kravitz and “Children of the Sun” by Billy Thorpe (after you skip the 55 second intro).

In fact the two songs rather compliment each other. First, you want to fly away; and then you do. 🙂

“Children of the Sun” is clearly the superior tune, IMO.

Lenny Kravitz has made a career out of other people’s riffs, also IMO.
