The Two Men of Pompeii

Salve, amāns mei.

Be well on this day.

I saw you see

the black pumice tree

the crash of its wheel

upon our hallowed Terra's knoll.

As Pluto erupts in anger,

don't flee, my heart; let's linger.

Prized of Venus,

say, has she seen us

crawl beyond this garden gate

Soooo good! I feel like each song of yours is better than the last. I'm such of fan of you on the uke; it really fits your voice well and it helps to exaggerate that disconnect between the music and the lyrics that I love so much. For me, it's like Vance Joy accidentally grabbed up some of Regina Spektor's lyrics and just went with it.

I'd never heard of the Two "Maidens" of Pompeii, either; what an interesting find. The song works so well to capture that feeling of using love as a shield against the impending doom surrounding. Great work!

Thank you so much! I was really happy with how this one turned out, so it's quite affirming to hear your kind words.

Wow. Just WOW. This is so excellently crafted, the image of these two becomes so very much alive.

Thank you so much for your kindness! I'm thrilled that the piece could do the idea of them justice.

...and the second time around, I loved it even more!!!

*gasp* What a haunting and beautiful bittersweet moment of timeless love captured in permanent tragedy. Your lilting supporting instrumentation here, like the rippling of a quiet babbling brook that carried their souls to the Elysian fields, so perfect, so touching, so moving, so lovely. Just breathtaking.
