Before I even know it, it's already Thursday. Gotta go two places today.
Faust, Midas and Myself is a song written by Switchfoot. When I found out what the names in the title represent, I was more than duly impressed. In German legend, Faust was a person who made a pact with the devil to attain the zenith of human happiness, at which point his soul may be taken. Midas, who is best remembered for the Midas touch, was a king who could turn whatever he touched into gold. In the end, even the food he was about to eat, as well as the people he touched, also turned into gold.
Myself referred to the composer, who placed himself into the shoes of these legends. He described how something lacks and the subsequent consequences. "A heart of gold can't really beat at all."
