Lake Street Dive - “Set Sail (Prometheus & Eros)“ [Lyric Video]

Lyric Video for Lake Street Dive “Set Sail (Prometheus & Eros)“ Our new album “Good Together“ is out now! Listen here: This started as a demo that Bridget sent me the first bit of just before I got on a flight to Japan. She told me that she pictured two humans landing on a new planet after narrowly escaping the destruction of Earth with nothing but their love (and their spaceship?) intact. For whatever reason, the voice memo was titled “Prometheus and Eros.” It occurred to me that maybe the people on that planet weren’t just humans but some reincarnation of the aforementioned gods. Eros, who brought love to humanity, and Prometheus, the titan who stole fire from heaven and gave it to mortals. About as different from each other as any two “entities” could be. From there it wasn’t too hard to continue the story (especially with thirteen hours to kill).. Suddenly, it was a duet and it was an EPIC tale. A little bit love story, a little bit space opera, a little bit creation myth… But whoever they were, these intrepid lovers, they were strangers in a strange land having nothing but each other. In the end, whether narrative or allegory, epyllion or simple love song, it made perfect sense. And this song concludes the album the same way in which it began: a song about two conflicted people with a great deal of history behind them but the potential for anything in front of them. They sing, they weep, they love — and they hold hands as they step unto the verge of something new.
