Pip is the re-incarnation of Shakespeare, with just a touch of cage fighting and a dash of football and just a little less forehead.

[carlaghness]

what music is used in the video?

[lyricaltesting]

@jockslap the song is full of contradictions. That's the point. Do your research ass hole.

[Mistermike07]

fly, icarus, fly.

take in all the sights you've always dreamed of.

why should the stars be the only ones to shine down?

and besides, other than the closest few,

the light from these stars takes years to reach this earth,

so most of the stars we see today, are just images from the past

soon to burn out and fall from their paths.

surely its time for some new stars to erupt?

but don't fly too high icarus.

[Mistermike07]

these birds and these stars have maintained their heights for good reason,

and with each passing season heathens have tried to share in their flight path

and at this you might laugh,

but history has shown, that if you fly too high, too quick

your wings will get burned, or get clipped.

so fly, icarus, fly.

shine and with time reward you might find

but take note of those that have come before you,

and don't let such heights go to your head,

lest you find yourself crashing, and burning, instead.

@deeziloves yeah me too man

[quirkyquirkey]

beautiful

[TripwireBeast]

I think "...crashing, burning, and dead..." would have ended the clip better. Much more grim, but I think I would have felt it a lot more.
