Influences: Perched on the ocean
I’ll call to you
Collect all I have lived till now
And risk it for your ears
You have come in the weather
To wait on our noise
Let me spread my feathers
and strain my bones
What we are
Is this
And fortunate, under this sky.Jess McAvoy March 2007
Sounds Like: What were those songs we used to sing? Long before the Island sank into the ocean. Long before the birds were stripped of their wings, doomed to swim with the very fish they used to snatch from waves in mid-flight. Those songs that no man among the living can recall. They were the young and privileged that took the music and broke away from the mainland. Caring little for how the Gods or the Earth would retaliate.
See now the Island rise once more. Soon the birds will fly again and a new Empire will arrive armed with trumpets and turn tables, whispering "What were those songs we used to sing?"
