Myles Kennedy - The Ides of March (single)
The second single from Myles Kennedy, the title track of his upcoming album.
Myles takes himself and us on a pleasant, distinctive journey into prog territory: 7:58 of music that rises and falls, bringing together different elements and striking instrumental passages.
For anyone wondering where the album and song title came from, it refers to a special date observed in Roman times. March 15 was a deadline for settling debts. The date later became more famous for the assassination of Roman dictator Julius Caesar on that day in 44 BC.
Myles said he wrote the song one evening after a few drinks, trying to sum up how many of us felt at the beginning of the pandemic. "We were bored, frustrated, and self-medicating to avoid going stir crazy. What I like about the narrative is it pushes the idea that if everything is going to hell, at least try and do it in a celebratory fashion."
