Skirmish: Myths and Legends (@anakin)Liner Notes
Lyrics
Daedelus was thinking Icarus was bored Stuck in a lonely prison With just a view of the yard "If we cannot get off this island, We will surely die. But the only exit I can see, Is the sky. Just the Sky We'll escape through the sky"
Daedelus was busy He made two pair of wings But as soon as they strapped them on Icarus began to sing: "I will fly around this world and Never once be done. I could fly forever Even into the sun. Watch me, Dad, it's fun. Nothing can hold me Not even the sun.
Daedelus he cried out But Icarus couldn't hear And his only warning Was melted wax on his ear As Icarus he spiraled past Down toward the ground Laughter was the sound His joy had been found He lived his truth and went down.
Comments
Loving the vibe it told the story.
I quite like this vibe! Moody and mysterious - your voice as well as the guitar. Is this your usual music genre? I felt like I had to approach this skirmish from a different place than I was used to but you seem very at ease in this genre. It's a really cool result
I was between Icarus and Orpheus so it's nice to see Icarus in the spotlight. If you want to visit Orpheus, I just added the music for my tune.
Thank you so much for your comments....but I'm not sure what genre this is anyway....I kinda let the song choose its' own identity.
It's also the third time he's come up in my songs...but this is the only time I used his name.
Great skirmish! Nice retelling of the legend, the personal words from each of the characters is a nice touch. The bass sounds beautiful, and works really well with your gentle vocal delivery.
