(Here's a re-post of a song I wrote a year and a half ago, which I began writing after my heart was broken from a spoiled star-crossed love! For those curious of knowing the direction of my music, I am going power pop, power pop in the likes of Jellyfish, The Posies, B-52's, Puffy AmiYumi, etc. and this is one of the ballads, which is sad but very melodic and beautiful to those who've heard it.)  Crown Of Ariadne By: Noah Eaton 6/26/03 She left too soon Deep into the background Of a garrisoned sea We used to divide and conquer together... I slid the Minotaur for you Before you slit my throat With Minerva's little diatribe With these surrogate confessions God knows who could hear... Here in this black hole dream of Talus Not even a ball of thread could help me escape This indelible mousetrap of emotion That I stubbornly tranced askance into... So I threw your crown into the heavens I created the stars just for you And I can't promise anything But I can assure you my love for you will remain true And somewhere beneath the ivory forehead And the unmerciful siren song that deafens me... I know I've set you free Baby, baby, baby, you are free... I must confess I heard it all through the seagulls How could I know exactly what they meant? I wanted to apologize for sounding a bit ungrateful Though I knew you never had the intent... Times like these I feel like Icarus Trying to rob the heavens in defying gravity Thinking I could have it all Lest that I come running on empty Unselfishly, I embraced the sun so I could prove That I am only human Flying through the air in my hit and run with etymology Swallowing the sea of my impulsions God knows Pallas could turn me into a bird If I just stopped for one second And know I can never win... So I threw your crown into the heavens I created the stars just for you And I can't promise anything But I can assure you my love for you will remain true And somewhere beneath the ivory forehead And the unmerciful siren song that deafens me... I know I've set you free Baby, baby, baby, you are free... Let go of me gently You are free Let go of me gently You are free let go of me gently You are free... Last January you were still marigold You know the seasons will never lie But I'm just a valetudinarian wasted on the alpenglow Of forty-thousand twilights... Yet the butterflies, the miller moths Oh, resting in pieces can be iatrogenic Even if that is not what falling means I still can hear the incidental music And isn't it refreshing To know your fate is being lamented Then it all becomes evident That some higher light is watching over you? You know as I let go I'll be crying You know that I'll be breaking But you know that I'll remember Being thankful for the better person you made me... So I threw your crown into the heavens I created the stars just for you And I can't promise anything But I can assure you my love for you will remain true And somewhere beneath the ivory forehead And the unmerciful siren song that deafens me... I know I've set you free Baby, baby, baby, you are free... . . . . La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la... . . . "You'll find something that's enough to keep you But if the bright lights don't receive you You should turn yourself around and come back home" MB20 |

Sounds interesting. But I don’t know the groups or singers you mentioned. Would like to hear this with your music. JL |

I must confess I heard it all through the seagulls How could I know exactly what they meant? I wanted to apologize for sounding a bit ungrateful Though I knew you never had the intent... you are a wizard at writing songs! Terrific |
