| I like "The Sirens Are Screaming" It's the first line of the first Bat and it seems like a good final title on a lot of levels - for the cover art, for mythology of the song that brings wisdom and the end of life...Jim was using a Siren as the cover of older drafts of Neverland...but the title idea is mine :) I'm not a genius but at least I'm a dwarf! http://jimsteinman.com/neverlnd.htm more from... http://www.pantheon.org/ In Greek mythology, the Sirens are creatures with the head of a female and the body of a bird. They lived on an island (Sirenum scopuli; three small rocky islands) and with the irresistible charm of their song they lured mariners to their destruction on the rocks surrounding their island ... The Argonauts escaped them because when he heard their song, Orpheus immediately realized the peril they were in. He took out his lyre and sang a song so clear and ringing that it drowned the sound of those lovely fatal voices. When on another journey the Odysseus' ship passed the Sirens, had the sailors stuff their ears with wax. He had himself tied to the mast for he wanted to hear their beautiful voices. The Sirens sang when they approached, their words even more enticing than the melody. They would give knowledge to every man who came to them, they said, ripe wisdom and a quickening of the spirit. Odysseys' heart ran with longing but the ropes held him and the ship quickly sailed to safer waters (Odyssey XII, 39). > I was thinking that Jim's "Bat: The Final Songs," could > probably use a better title.
