BASTILLE - Icarus Lyrics

[sidneyboy26]

sooo.... basically all these people who are getting angry that some people found this band after watching made in chelsea, are basically getting cross that a good band is getting more popular.... great they didnt find it by themselves... but just cause youve found it yourself dosn't make you better... be happy that this band is getting the recognition they deserve.

[hopesuress]

"Icarus [ˈɪkərəs ˈaɪ-]

n

(Myth & Legend / Classical Myth & Legend) Greek myth the son of Daedalus, with whom he escaped from Crete, flying with wings made of wax and feathers. Heedless of his father's warning he flew too near the sun, causing the wax to melt, and fell into the Aegean and drowned"

i think i love bastille more now.

[hENN1X]

haha first dislike ! great clip though

[youcancallmeW]

To the uploader: Lower the volume next time, almost blew my ears off. Och till mörkerkrypskytten: Ikaros var killen som flög för nära solen.

[yanr1977]

@youcancallmeW just turn the volume down then... good lord

[youcancallmeW]

@yanr1977 :D Was just joking with my friend actually, but yeah!

[darksniper200]

Half the people here don't know who Icarus is : /.

[TheRacketBoss]

@darksniper200 the reason why is because half the people here got here from watching "made in chelsea" ,and i dont expect people who watch that to have the slightest clue about greek mythology, let alone the slightest clue about anything..

[harleyissosexy]

@TheRacketBoss Haha, good shout man

[thisisazoo]

Okay, so it's fall. I'm not going to put captions over it because it will annoy me as it won't look good. No complaints okay thanks :)

[TheBendrezz]

i discovered bastille on my own, not by hearing it on made in chelsea or whatever it's called

[Loubatron]

FUCK OFF MADE IN CHELSEA. Why can't people appreciate and find decent artists on their own instead of having to see it on some soap on tv then spamming like the band belongs to it?! ARHHHGADHDJKSXNMADFV ASXAWH!!!! -_-

[henisapig]

@Loubatron i do find loads of bands myself ... it just so happens that i was watching made in chelsea and heard this song on it. does it matter where you hear it, surely it should only matter whether you like it or not, and decide to support them

[henisapig]

literally addicted to this song.. well done made in chelsea:) xx

[TheBendrezz]

@henisapig more like well done bastille ;)

[henisapig]

@TheBendrezz i know, but made in chelsea got me here. I <3 BASTILLE:)

[GibsonMX2]

i think youve got the lyrics correct, well done :)

[maalaama]

Don't worry, just enjoy the music. You nailed the lyrics ;)

[thisisazoo]

I can't decide whether it's 'This is how it feels to take off, ooooh' or if it's 'This is how it feels to take a fall'

Ahhh :(

[D3frost85]

@thisisazoo

I think it's 'a fall', could be wrong but it makes more sense than 'off, ooooh' :O

[sambobgoolipants]

@thisisazoo its fall :)

[Mynameisaw]

@thisisazoo It's "This is how it feels to take a Faaaa-aah-aah-aaallll"

[DeiDeiDannaUn]

@thisisazoo

i'm quite sure it's "this is how it feels to take a fall" because icarus, from the myth, flew up too close to the sun, his wings melted, and he fell back down to earth to his death. so fall would work better according to the mythology :)

[elleymetcalf]

@DeiDeiDannaUn @thisisazoo oops didnt see your comment DeiDei, i agree!

[elleymetcalf]

@thisisazoo i think if you take into consideration the context of the other words of the wong it's 'this is how it feels to take a fall' - because then the next line is he's flying towards an early grave (the sea) after the sun melts his make-shift wings - just a thought :)

[alexab4]

@thisisazoo I think it's "This is how it feels to take a fall" because like that's what Icarus did because he flew too close to the sun and his wings burnt up"



[mttybxter]

@thisisazoo I would be annoyed that you got the lyrics wrong, but you uploaded a Bastille song.. so you're cool.
