Day 10: A song that mentions royalty

R.E.M. - King Of Birds

Dedicated to my swan friend
"a hundred million birds fly" words that rattle around my head when i see the winter gatherings of geese or the Starling murmurations
Birds are the true royalty in the world

Day 10: A song that mentions royalty

@vagrantx, I thought of you when I chose this, mostly because Joey seems to be channeling Manowar's Eric Adams for the opening vocal segment before moving into a more Anthrax style. And this is my kid's favorite Anthrax song.


"For All Kings," Anthrax

Must confess, I was never much of an Anthrax fan (I can't stand thrash style drumming) but Joey really did put his heart into this one! For what it's worth, it's the best Anthrax song I've heard :love:

Boy I love dating myself with this stuff, don't I? 😅

Anyways, this is off what is undoubtedly my most played, most favorite Tom Petty record. The Heartbreakers aren't named, but they are obviously woven through it, and this was written mostly during Petty's discord with his first wife that ultimately ended in divorce in 1996 or so. You can hear, even in this song, a wistfulness, a sadness, that I really connected with in a different way 30 years ago, but still feel today when I hear it.
