[edit]Erin Hanson, Australian poet
[edit]I'm actually looking for a country music song, sung by a woman, that set the poem that contains the words "What if I fall? Oh but my darling, what if you fly?" to music. I found that these words were written by Erin Hanson, who is an Australian poet, and for whom we don't seem to have an article yet. It's not her I'm looking for, but this song. I remember hearing it about 10 years ago on the Terry Wogan programme on the BBC. Any ideas please? --TammyMoet (talk) 16:05, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
- I've had no luck finding this country song, but I think it must be much more recent than 10 years ago. The poem is called "Fly", and it appears in Hanson's The Poetic Underground 2: Voyage (2014), which consists of poems first published between January and November 2014 in her blog The Poetic Underground. It was set to music on an album called Zoax, released last year by a rock band of the same name, but that doesn't fit your description at all. --Antiquary (talk) 09:36, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
With some help I found a version online. It seems to have been written by Chely Wright, and the version I have is by Emma Mae Jacob. Thank you.--TammyMoet (talk) 12:30, 23 June 2017 (UTC) No it wasn't - it was by Tia Sillers and Mark Selby --TammyMoet (talk) 12:36, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
the what i think i do is from what movie? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.255.212.253 (talk) 16:25, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
- I was going to immediately answer Tron Legacy, but the colouration is not quite right. Will keep looking; it's familiar to me. Matt Deres (talk) 16:38, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
- It looks like its from Hackers but more likely from just a stock image website. uhhlive (talk) 17:57, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure it's from Hackers. Near the end, when they're hacking the Gibson, they keep cutting to shots that look like this. here is an example on YouTube. ApLundell (talk) 18:21, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
- By way of additional supporting evidence: I put a screenshot of that image into TinEye ([1]) and asked for the oldest matches. They were from 2008 (I'm guessing that was when TinEye was started), which was before Tron: Legacy but after Hackers. Several of these early hits had filenames like "hackers.jpg", "hackers5.jpg", "hackers_small_1.jpg", etc. on the pages where TinEye found them, and one actually had the word Hachers [sic] superimposed on the image. --76.71.5.114 (talk) 23:41, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
