Icarus (Home Demo)

lyrics

Icarus home demo
I keep my eyes wide open
As I fly towards the sun
I don’t know if I’ll make it
As the journey’s just begun

My father said, “be cautious
Now take things slowly, son
And don’t you be a-flying
Afore you can run.”

Ever since I can remember
He’s tried to hold me down
But if I fall from heaven
Who’s to say that I will drown?

Me, I was impatient
To spread my wings and fly
But if I fall from heaven
I could say that I had tried.

Paul: I flirted with electronic pop on this one but added acoustic guitar and violin. I like this very much though it is untypical, or perhaps that’s the reason I like it.
