EDEN - icarus (official audio)

-

[hurdl]

Eden really is one of the few musicians that is able to combine acoustic and electronic music like it's supposed to be.

[iemika]

this might be my favorite song of all time, I swear.

[rhqzx]

The fact that this song is over six minutes, makes it really interesting because Jon can change the mood of the song multiple times, which is really sick if you ask me

[Luckywynne]

_Dammit_ I was about to go to sleep, but now I must listen to them all lol.

[Heating]

“Just keep at it bro, these things always work out, just suck it up some would kill to be standing where you’re standing now”

Not a statement, not encouragement, but a saying that every depressed person has heard in their life, and it’s one we all hate

[sayhitomeplease]

Where does he record the videos of him walking? Must be a nice feeling to walk with no distractions, just the sound of the wind and your feet meeting the ground.

[Brea]

The "Icarus" part is so addicting, I can't stop listening to this song, (even though I have yet to hear the others). 😩💞

[hassanshahrokhshahi]

For me, a depressed guy about to enter his 20's, afraid of the future, living in a shitty country, only hope of surviving to immigrate to anywhere, without a sense of purpose, and books no one reads... Listening to Eden is like a religious experience. Please make music like you are today, and never turn mainstream, cause i can sense and feel every word of your music, and a world where originality seems like a lost concept, you're making me feel otherwise. No one can make me feel like you do
there comes a time in every man's life where he has to ponder whether his life is worth living or not, and i dont know if i have any reason for my own existence... but i can surely thank you for existing john
love from me.. wish i could chat with you one day

[Eyti_Edits]

Four years later, I still come back to that song. That one really hits my soul. Thank you EDEN for this.

[JaneshaRai]

So this is how I die now
Hands to the air
No, they can't stop the sky falling down, down
Guess I thought that I'd feel good somehow
All you know is up is high and I am feeling like you ain't going down, down

[Verse 2]
Disappearing through the silence
Screams fade and blur
Conversated with the smile, though
Life invisible
Guess I thought that I'd feel better now somehow
Any hour now

[Pre-Chorus]
Icarus
No, I can't escape this fall
Falling in reverse
Falling in reverse

[Chorus]
So how you gonna scream my name?
And I gave all I got
I've nothing left to give you
I'm so burnt out and lost
Why's it all just feel the same?
And I got all I want
I had you where I wanted
I guess I don't know
How to live with a good thing
And not break it into nothing
Self destruction feels so close

[Verse 3]
So tell me how you want me here now
Keep crying on the phone
Yeah, that's all I seem to hear now
Keep lying through your teeth
Lie to me, lie with me now

(I'm halfway there, but it's like, "Shit, I haven't really been doing anything for the last year." And I've been saying I've been doing a shit ton but like, in terms of... I don't know.)

[Verse 4]
So tell me how you really feel now
Ain't been asked that in a while
Yet you still won't get them hear you out
Just keep at it, bro, these things always seem to fix themselves somehow
Suck it up, some would kill just to stand
Where you're standing now

[Chorus]
So how you gonna scream my name?
When I gave all I got
I've nothing left to give you
And I'm so burnt out and lost
'Cause fuck it, it all feels the same
And I got all I want
I thought that I'd feel something
I guess I'll never know
How to live with a good thing
Fuck my life up for nothing, nothing
'Cause you don't care if I'm still bleeding
You just scream until you hear my name

[Verse 1 repeated]
So this is how I die now
Hands to the air
No, they can't stop the sky falling down, down
Guess I thought that I'd feel good somehow

[Verse 2 repeated]
Disappearing through the silence
Screams fade and blur
Conversated with the smile, though
Life invisible
Guess I thought that I'd feel better now somehow
Any hour now

The bad thing about the Eden songs is when they finish :(

[marcwannenburgh]

Only had 12 strokes during this song we good

[xJaredLetox]

Anyone else feel like this song as well as Take Care is directed at us EDEN fans? Lyrics like you don’t care if I’m still bleedin’ you just scream until you hear my name sound very much like us fans would do at a live event of his and wouldn’t care about how he truly felt because we only cared about the performance we feel he owes us. Like this song is the manifestation of what he says in his 365x series about losing himself while he was on tour because he was doing everything for the fans and not taking time to care for his own well being. Like I love this song. It’s epic and powerful, but also I feel bad about wanting to cheer because I just want to make sure EDEN takes care of himself and doesn’t feel like he’s dying while we just cheer (so this is how I die now, hands to the air, no they can’t stop the sky falling down).

a lot of his songs feel like they follow a plot, they have calm beginnings, the exposition of the ideas, and ever so slowly it builds up when those ideas are expanded upon, some ideas might even clash together in conflict, and then, the climax, a culmination of everything that came before, and finally a resolution. all ideas have been realized, everything has been said, we know more now with what we have heard, and now all that's left is for us to acknowledge these ideas and experiences so that we, and jon himself, change, even just by a small amount.

[andrewshelton]

The day I discovered this man's music was the beginning of the worst chapter of my life. He speaks to me in ways that no other artist could even begin to contend. It's as if he is sitting around every curve and over every hill speaking to me as I make the mistakes and drift farther away from reality and my self. Anyone that has suffered being lost alone homeless and strung out on drugs his words have helped me heal and realize my mistakes realize that my personal downfalls and failures aren't what defines me. He saved my life truly saved me from my own self destruction before it was to late. Thank you Jonathan you hold a very special place in my heart. You're truly amazing

[nensha]

god the intensity at some points of this song is biblical. especially right before the bridge “and not break it into nothing” the droning lead getting louder and louder is just god tier production. that’s intentionally done to overwhelm the sonic palette and induce a sort of anxiety to the listener as well as create emphasis on the lyrics

[yasingunaydiin]

Brother after years, I still get goosebumps

[SourceSven]

holy hell this lyrics honestly devours every last bit of my soul. i cant get out of this bliss

[huzinosmoke]

I was completely losing myself right now, but I still have you Eden…you are one of the reason I keeping myself on the right way, thank you.

[prtdv]

Some of the guys are talking about the drop at 5:30. But what really hit me was 3:47, I love how the distorted lead went more powerful, I got chills damn.
