Lyrics

• Sound bite in this song is "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Do it!"
• "Bitchin' and whinin' and moanin' later"
• "Without further ado, the lights are gonna be dim, so...
• "So just make sure you know where your valuables are."
• "Ok, without further ado, we're gonna give the man of honor here, the guest of honor here, and I hope you bought Wii tickets"
• "So after that..."
• "Twin sent me like a bunch of messages about him wanting to perform and do para and do a music session before the event"
• "...and I haven't seen him yet. And where the hell is Chef?"

Song Production Information

The loss of the kraken brought the anger of the king, which in turn led to his imprisonment. Although he made wings with wax and feathers, flying through the sky and succeeding in escaping, Icarus wished to fly higher. For a while, he was able to fly where he wanted. However, the wings, which were made of wax, dissolved with the heat of the sun, and he fell and died.

I produced a song characteristic with the story, with BPM changes, a cyber sound, and a radio voiceover reminiscent of fighter pilots in this song production. Honestly, I feel that this is a very difficult song to pass...

Video Production Information

Because I have trouble drawing mechanical things, I had difficulty starting this project. However, I decided to make an image that was strong, yet delicate. The main body of Icarus, which pulls you in with the tune, was the last thing that I produced.

The feathers scattering, and the way they fell... I was thinking how such a light looking aircraft could fly.
