For you will burn your wings upon the sun.
- title of a song from the latest album by Black Tape for a Blue Girl.

I saw this title while sampling music at Borders this afternoon, and immediately thought about Icarus and the pair of feathered wings he fixed together with wax. Wearing the wings, he soared so high that he was surrounded by intense white light. But he got too close to the sun, and the wax melted from his wings. And then he plunged. Likewise, I thought this song'd mount in ectasy before spiralling down in despair. Somehow, the song didn't evoke this for me.
