Fly, Brave Eagle, Fly (UPDATED / iPhone recording)
Here is an iPhone recording of my guitar teacher and I performing an update of my latest song during practice yesterday:

“FLY, BRAVE EAGLE, FLY”
INTRO / CHORUS 1:
Fly, brave eagle, fly…
beyond the mountains,
we’ve climbed so high!
Soar, brave eagle, soar…
‘cross distant valleys
and foreign shores!
We’ll still be here together,
should you grace these lands again.
Farewell,
we will remember you
to the end!
VERSE 1:
And, all our history,
you’ve dared us climb,
to heights unseen.
But we have gone astray,
sown death & misery…
…the world to pay.
It is not your fault.
You couldn’t know the cost.
Your soul’s too pure to see
we prideful men are lost.
Fly, brave eagle…
CHORUS 2:
fly, brave eagle, fly…
beyond the mountains,
we’ve climbed so high!
Soar, brave eagle, soar…
‘cross distant valleys
and foreign shores!
We’ll still be here together,
should you grace these lands again.
Farewell,
we will remember you
to the end!
VERSE 2:
Oh, fly………!
Fly………!
Fly………!
Fly, brave eagle, fly!
Fly, brave eagle…
Fly………!
Oh, brave eagle…
BRIDGE 1:
why did you tempt poor Icarus,
just to drown him in the sea?
If there’s a limit to these
heights we’ll achieve,
how do we dare to dream?
CHORUS 3:
Fly, brave eagle, fly…
beyond the mountains,
we’ve climbed so high!
Soar, brave eagle, soar…
‘cross distant valleys
and foreign shores!
We’ll still be here together,
should you grace these lands again.
Farewell,
we will remember you
to the end!
BRIDGE 2:
Oh, is this the future brave Prometheus dreamed,
chained upon your rock?
Can we escape these chains of hate,
and fill our hearts with love?
CHORUS 4 / OUTRO:
Fly, brave eagle, fly…
beyond the mountains,
we’ve climbed so high!
Soar, brave eagle, soar…
‘cross distant valleys
and foreign shores!
We’ll still be here together,
should you grace these lands again.
Farewell,
we will remember you
to the end!

I'm getting a blues travelers vibe to this one, impressive quality from an Iphone.. you guys harmonize well. Great job :)

Yes, the harmonies are a highlight, and I like the build up too.
Is the eagle meant to be a metaphor or are you admiring literally an eagle?
I like the music, and the way it's written, but I wasn't 100% sure on the message

Hi @RainyDayMan yes the eagle is a metaphor for humanity's obsession with strength & war.

Dadadadamn, are you guys playing out anywhere? I'd love to catch the show. This is outstanding, really hot and sweet on the ears. Got any more?

just got to say again there's something really special about...not just the song, but also the guitar work, and the duo vocals you guys are pulling off here, reeeealy special IMHO😁

Thanks @StoneFlowers we’ve been playing this one for a couple months, so I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’m not quite ready on my guitar playing to be out doing shows without it really distracting me from my singing, but my teacher is definitely a great accompanist.0
Howdy, Stranger!
