The Icarus story is a philosophy of life I always aspire to live up to. I interpret the mythology a bit differently from the common interpretation.
The story of Icarus is often told as a cautionary tale about the fate of man overreaching his limits. But for me, regardless of whether the outcome is a success or failure, the moment in which we try to become something more, is powerful in itself. We’ve all been told the story of Icarus, the boy who flew too close to the sun, but we haven’t been told the story of the boy who flew to a height no one else had ever reached. This is the Icarus that I wanted the EP to explore. Not just the success but also the failers [sic]. I wanted to celebrate all aspects of it.
