Webster defines Icarian as 'Soaring too high for safety, like Icarus; adventurous in flight.' This is a story of my Icarian journey

Hi I'm , A.K.A. . You can listen to a mix of songs listed under both bands by I've been playing guitar and writing songs for a few years now. I don't have a band yet, and most of the songs I've written I've recorded solo with one of my acoustic guitars. As far as effects, I mostly use just a little compression and noise reduction...so these recordings sound pretty much as it would if I were playing live in the room with you.

Story behind the song
After being warned of the dangers of flying too close to the sun, Icarus chose to anyway. He wanted to fly high, not to cause sorrow, but to staisfy his adventurous spirit. Many of us (especially in youth) do things we've been warned will end in tradgedy or sorrow, because we need to see what happens for ourselves.
Lyrics
Many potions have I done only looking for a little fun sometimes wonder if I'm here, then I'm gone again never fear I may have found a place to hide, but pain's become my widowed bride I kill her off but she comes again if only for a brief refrain Still I want to fly, I want to keep my soul up in the clouds But I've got to try, to keep my feet down on the ground 'cause who will pick me up when I fall down? who will pick me up when I fall down? Not from a knife, wound bound to heal Blood doth dry and flesh congeal it's in my head, it's in my heart this pain doth daily rip apart so into the sun my travels loom desperate escape could be my doom if my wax wings should ever melt I'll gain my peace beyond all help Still I want to fly, I want to keep my soul up in the clouds But I've got to try, to keep my feet down on the ground 'cause who will pick me up when I fall down? who will pick me up when I fall down? Icarian Journey, so many things to see don't know how this will end for me I want to see the sun, you say it can't all be fun I say this is my life and I and I've got to live free
