    Sweet, sad and soaring, it's a kind of understated epic based on dubby trancey beats, with a real live string section in the chorus. Think early Dub Star, or a more feminine New Order

    Story Behind the Song
    we always felt this song was strong but struggled with the arrangement - different keys suiting different ingredients, guitars, voices etc. finally it came together here with Clare's knock-out string-arrangement and performance.

    lyrically, icarus is someone of unlimited ambition who flies too near the sun and his wings melt. The lyric really confronts my confusion at someone who has everything and throws it all away.

    Lyrics
    & when it starts will you remember
    you cannot fly too high to fall
    & in your heart will you surrender
    only to escape them all

    don't i know your name?
    don't i feel your pain?
    all you have to say?
    give it all away?

    don't know how it hurts you
    till there's nowhere else to go
    don't know how to curse you
    don't know how to let you know
