Inspired by a William Blake poem titled 'The Fly' - http://www.portablepoetry.com/poems/william_blake/the_fly.html

EP version mixed by alalal (aka Al O'Connell) and mastered by The Exchange, London in 2014.

Lyrics:

Little Fly,

Thy summer's play

My thoughtless hand

Has brushed away.

Am I not

A fly like thee?

Or art not thou

A man like me?

For I dance

And drink, and sing,

Till some blind hand

Shall brush my wing.

If thought is life

And strength and breath

And the want

Of thought is death;

Then am I

A happy fly,

If I live,

Or if I die....

Just came across "The Fly" while reading Blake for one of my classes... I knew I'd heard the lyrics from this song somewhere before, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Definitely makes for a catchy song, though!

I almost feel bad sharing this guy.. I love having unique music, that's not influenced by their record companies into making 'this day and age' crap, or 'stuff the people want' because this is the stuff I want! Cosmo, you need to get yourself out there. I saw your TED talk, great job, loved it and watched it 20 times, but you need to get promoted somehow, I don't care how, somehow. Get yourself out there, make it a living, and make us more epic stuff to listen to! - Big. Fan.

For those who don't know, there is a music video of this song up on his website, which REALLY should be promoted much more. - Please like this so people can see this. His site is in the description. Thank you, and let's be happy, "if we live or if we die".
