A brand new original song by Jimmy Wong. My favorite Greek myth of all time is of Orpheus and Eurydice, and it led me to the story of Lot fleeing Sodom. I combined those two themes into this song!

LYRICS:
I long to see your face
when you're right behind me
i'll push on through the night
to show you it's alright
But now the silence hits
and i'm filled with fear

salt, leave it all behind
sweep away this starry night

you might follow me (oh eurydice, don't you fall asleep, oh eurydice)
through the thick and thin
a simple melody (oh persephone, give her back to me, oh persephone)
might bring you back from them

a smile escapes my lips
as light breaks behind me
our past is far behind
the mountains in our eyes
But now the fire hits
and lights up the skies

Salt, leave it all behind
Sweep away this starry night
as you gaze upon the site
the smell that burns our teary eyes
you're gone gone gone gone gone

you might follow me (oh eurydice, don't you fall asleep, oh eurydice)
through the thick and thin
a simple melody (oh persephone, give her back to me, oh persephone)
might bring you back from them
(2x)

You are exactly my favorite Youtube musician. You use innovative lyricism in your music. Most of them use love songs with i guess is alright but i'm one of those underground music people and I strive for poetics. No one I've seen in the youtube musician business would use Greek mythology in their lyrics. I guess Gabe bondoc would but he sounds a little whipped right now.

The first time I bought music in like four years was when I downloaded some of your songs.

Dude. You've made me a HUGE fan. From Ching Chong to The Zelda melody mix, you are a musical genus! You make all the other celebs look like amateurs. Keep up the goo- GREAT work. :3
