Light Flight

Pentangle is a British folk-rock group formed in London in 1967. "Light Flight," with lyrics that evoke a sense of longing and escape, is the opening track from their third album, Basket of Light.

"Light Flight" is not a straightforward tune - its time signature varies between 5/8, 7/8 and 6/4 in the middle.

The song became popular when it was used as theme music for a television series called Take Three Girls, the BBC's first drama series broadcast in color. Take Three Girls was launched with great fanfare as a modern drama. It focused on three women sharing a flat in Swinging London. With a boost from the show, "Light Flight" took Pentangle into the UK chart, peaking at #43.
