2:40 the way the guitar notes descend, symbolizing Icarus falling from the sky into the ocean is absolutely brilliant.

[@beezybeez4207]

This is so good but you must hear “The Wave” or “Whispering Wolf” by SLT 🐺🎶🤘🎶🐺

That last "Oh God" has such power behind it. I can't possibly imagine losing a son.

[Daedalus] I 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," He sung Wax and some string, some feathers I stole from a bird 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 And 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 "We'll make the mainland by noon" But Icarus climbs higher still in the sky Maybe I've spoken too soon But son, please keep a steady wing And 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 new life for my son to grow up free And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me I'll never fly again, I'll hang up my wings Oh Gods! Why is this happening to me? All I wanted was new life for my son to grow up free And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me I'll never fly again, I'll hang up my wings Oh Gods!

[@jaime2822]

People who dig this song: please explain how this is not the most melodramatic song this band has ever written. Musically, great. Vocally and lyrically... corn cheese doesn't begin to describe it.

[@jordanb2364]

It's the Icarus story. So what? It's intended to be sad, as well as fable-ish.

[@Ascentxun]

Corn cheese, seriously? I'm not looking to fight, I just think you might be missing the beauty of the song. It's not melodramatic, it's tragic, just like the story. But for Thrice fans it stabs the heart a little deeper (imo at least), because of a song they released albums ago called the "Melting point of Wax". Speaking for myself I see the pair of songs as a comparison between arrogant youth, and mournful adult/parenthood , both of which this band has embodied as it's transitioned through the years. Just my take on it though.

[@lazyatthedisco]

it's a greek legend, a sad cautionary tragedy, but not cheesy at all. PS: Why am I replying to a 4 years old comment?
