FLY

At La Défense, the towers raise their glass façades like the walls of a futuristic canyon. Beneath a heavy sky, a bird emerges in the opening, a black silhouette suspended between two worlds. For a second, architecture stops imposing its rule: life takes over the frame, defies verticality and transforms the city into a stage for flight, tension and raw freedom.

Gonna Fly Now from the film ROCKY III

Gonna Fly Now, by Bill Conti, gives the image the momentum of a conquest. The brass, choir and rising rhythm turn the bird’s flight into a victory over the mass of the towers. The music reminds us that rising often begins with a tiny gesture, repeated until it surpasses the obstacle that seemed insurmountable.
