wax wings
on mine fearful flier
unalarmed in gravity's charm
and starter motors hum
ballads of ballasts
am i reaching?
wax wins i surrender
and this makeshift design
will ground me
and without the air's arms
around me
i'll surrender the sky
to your dumb machine
wax wings
prepare for takeoff
with the engine beneath the ribs
and the wind sings
ballads of balance
can you hear me?
wax wins i surrender
and i know that icarus
loves me
and there are no stars
above me
i melt into the sun
Braid è un gruppo musicale statunitense formatosi ad Urbana-Champaign, Illinois nel 1993. Il nucleo originario del gruppo si costituì quando Bob Nanna, già noto per il suo lavoro con i Bob Nanna, inserì un annuncio su Maximum Rock n' Roll. L'annuncio fu risposto da Roy Ewing, batterista che portò con sé altri musicisti provenienti da band o progetti precedenti, tra cui Todd Bell al basso e Chris Broach alla chitarra e voce. Braid si è affermato nel panorama emo/post-hardcore grazie all'intensa energia delle loro performance dal vivo e alla caratteristica combinazione di chitarre e voci di Nanna e Broach. Il gruppo ha pubblicato diversi album, tra cui "The Age of Octet" (1998) e "Frame and Canvas" (2000), che hanno contribuito a definire il sound emo degli anni '90. Braid si è sciolto nel 2003 ma ha fatto un ritorno nel 2015 con l'album "Mystery of the World", dimostrando di essere ancora una band influente e apprezzata dai fan.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
