Fun easter egg, the guy who showed up to that woman's house to give her a new look she wanted was the same actor who played that android in the music video Ricochet, the first song you reacted to. You can even see the similarities in messaging between the two. The story of Icarus is actually sadder. Most people only remember him from the myth, but he wasn't alone. His father, Daedalus, was considered the greatest inventor at that time; he created the infamous Labrinth. He and his son were captured by King Minos and imprisoned in it for many years since he helped the hero, Theseus, kill the minotaur (he also hooked up with the King's daughter) Daedalus was the one who warned Icarus not to fly too high since the sun would melt the wax and not too low since the sea would loosen the feathers. But Icarus was so drunk on freedom that he ignored his father's warning and flew too high. The wax melted, and he fell to his death. Daedalus had to watch his son die, and he couldn't follow him since he would also die if he tried. It's one of those "We teach our children the best we can but it's their decisions" moments. Doesn't mean we don't care what happens to them, but they need to learn responsibility, no matter the outcome. Anyways, great reaction! Loved how you broke it down. Made Blitz react to this song as well, and he jokingly took offense towards the Influencer Girl and started questioning his own place on Youtube lol
