This song helped me get through the death of one my twin boys I dont listen to it often because i can't help but break down But damn It reminds me to be a better father for my other son R.i.p BENNETT D. Q
My favorite part about this song is the walk down on guitar to indicate icarus falling from the sky instead of saying it in the lyrics. The alchemy index are some of the coolest concept albums of all time!
OMG 4:09 to the end is so incredibly intense. Dustin puts everything he can into expressing this monumental story (to the point he almost tears up), definitely one of my favorites and I appreciate anyone who appreciates this.
+You Found Carl I love how he's able to put so much anger and energy into singing that part and still sound absolutely amazing! If I yelled in a mic like that with that much passion and anger i'd sound like terrible haha
The last part of your comment (like the last part of the song) was intense too. And I surely appreciate you back 😜 it seems most ppl who listen to this band mainly for their lyrics, know what matters in life.
I legit cried for an entire night to this song a month or two before my first son was born back in 2010 - just in the fear that I may not be a good father and fail my son... There's been a few times this song has brought me back to that night which always inspires me to be better for my now two sons
The build up for this song is phenomenal. Starting off slow, building more rapidly till finally the finale. Wanting freedom, to having faith, and ending with tragedy. Beautiful song and great story.
Came back to this after getting tix to see them one more again for The Grey tour. This is both one of my favorite songs and favorite performances. Dustin gives his soul here!
stand on the cliffs with my son next to me This island, our prison, our home And everyday we look out at the sea This place is all he's ever known But I've got a plan and some wax and some string Some feathers I stole from the birds So we leap from the cliff and we hear the wind sing A song that's too perfect for words But son, please keep a steady wing You know you're the only one that means anything to me Steer clear of the sun Or you'll find yourself in the sea Now safely away, I let out a cry That we'll make the mainland by noon But Icarus climbs higher still in the sky And maybe I've spoken too soon But son, please keep a steady wing You know you're the only one that means anything to me Steer clear of the sun Or you'll find yourself in the sea Won't you look at your wings? They're coming undone They're splitting at the seams Steer clear of the sun For once, won't you listen to me Oh gods, why is this happening to me? All I wanted was a new life for my son to grow up free And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me I will never fly again, I will hang up my wings Oh gods, why is this happening to me? All I wanted was a new life for my son to grow up free And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me I will never fly again, I will hang up my wings Oh gods!
Pretty sure this is a follow up from Melting point of wax from their Artist in the Ambulance album years ago...ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pMDQKyllARo.html Same story about Icarus & Daedalus
The rest of the videos are still up. I added a link in the description of this video. Or try and use this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kedvpDqa400.html
I love Thrice. But I can't stand how out of time Riley is in the beginning. Literally his purpose, and he couldn't do his job. As a drummer, that seems like it should be priority number 1. Keep time>Be Unique>Look Cool.
