My Medea - Vienna Teng

I'm really sick of all the AMV's to this beautiful song. & sure, the live versions are nice and all, but of course, the original version is best n___n
Enjoy.

And the picture really makes no sense.

@KitchenKiller95 She kills her children as the ultimate revenge against her husband. See, from Aegeus she learns that the worst thing she could do to a man was take away his children. In order to destroy Jason completely, she destroys the thing he loves most- his own sons. But she loves them too, and so the act is self-destructive. That's the tragedy of Medea- in destroying Jason, she destroys herself.

@phoenixkh93 I'm not sure. Vienna herself tells in a video (which is also here on youtube) that "Medea" is a bad part of her - could be that she has named this bad part after the mythological figure Medea - rather fitting I'd say, as Medea in Greek mythology not only kills her own brother (to help Jason get the Golden Fleece) but also her own children to get revenge over Jason. It's not impossible that Vienna is inspired by the story of Medea :)

@FantasiesGhost I'm glad to know what the song ORIGINALLY meant as well, but now that it's publicized it's no longer Vienna's song--it's all of ours, with our interpretations, and if I think it's about the Media myth, then it now is--for me. You get me?

one of my Vienna Teng favorites. I also love Gravity, Eric's Song, Mission Street--Mission Street because I love SF Bay Area and miss it so much.

@simonimyours Agreed! Very nice interpretation.

You know, regardless of whether this song is about a voice in Vienna Teng's head or a Greek myth, it's an amazing piece of art.

THIS SONG IS NOT ABOUT THE MEDEA MYTH!

It's about a Voice in Vienna's head who talks to her, oddly enough, called Medea... this song is from Vienna's Medea's point of view.

Vienna descries this 'person' in her head to 'not always have her best interests in mind'... THAT is what this song is about!

Thumbs up so everyone can see!

I love haunting songs about myths and legends and I'm so glad I stumbled on this. This gives me chills listening to it

I found out about Vienna Teng when I was in high school.... through an AMV. Lullaby for a Stormy Night. I've since been to one of her concerts and bought two albums.

So bite me. =)
