1. Pendragon is an English progressive rock band established in 1978 in Stroud, Gloucestershire as "Zeus Pendragon" by guitarist Nick Barrett. The "Zeus" was dropped before the band started recording.
There were a few personnel changes in the early days, but since 1986 the lineup has remained relatively stable. Long standing drummer Fudge Smith being replaced by Joe Crabtree who has subsequently been replaced by Scott Higham who brings high energy along with a huge beaming smile!
Their music is characterised by Barrett's virtuoso guitar playing and his highly emotional, if unique, vocal performances.
On October 1st 2008 the band released the album Pure. This album features their heaviest songs as of yet, being influenced by the newer Porcupine Tree.
The band continues to be active.
2. Born and raised in Baltimore City, Drag has been blazing through the Hip- Hop scene. His numerous mixtapes have touched the ears of many. A greater following has been gained from the listeners of 88.9 Strictly Hip-Hop, Morgan States Friday night dose of Underground Hip-Hop. PenDragon is a forerunner as one of Baltimores greats. PenDragon produces and writes not only rap but also R&B. Also writing TV shows, movies, and books are steadily draining the ink out of Drags pe ns. When asked about what he wants people to get out of his music Drag says, I want people to know that everything that you go through, someone else is going through that too. If I can comfort someone with what I say, and they can apply that to themselves and make them realize that life is real and everybody, no matter their position, had to overcome something, whether great or small. I want to give a voice to those that are not getting heard. And let them know that it is alright to feel all emotions of life, because everyone does, and its real.

Bird of Paradise
Pendragon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the wrong side of town
A street fighting neighbourhood
An innocent victim of circumstance
One day surely you’ll get your chance
Staring at herself in the mirror’s reflection
Far from a world of mystery and perfection
Picking at painted fingernails
Sulking into large cocktails until the strangers fade away
And she starts to wonder what her life might be
If the flower bloomed
And the princess blossomed and became the queen
She walked into a crowd
And everyone would stare
Would they laugh outloud?
Would anybody care?
And the dream dissolved and she had to hide
When they crushed her soul and fed on her pride
Bird of paradise
Proud as a peacock with a thousand eyes
Soaring high as your heart might take you
They’ll say in the years she made dreams come true
Now has come the time to see her shine
And cross that line
There’s nobody here today can stand up and say that she ever walked away
There’s nobody here today could look her in the eye and say that she ever walked away
Bird of paradise
Proud as a peacock with a thousand eyes
Soaring high as your heart might take you
They’ll say in the years she made dreams come true
Now has come the time to see her shine
And cross that line
There’s nobody here today can stand up and say that she ever walked away
There’s nobody here today could look her in the eye and say that she ever walked away
There’s nobody here today can stand up and say that she ever walked away
Half closed eyes scan the papers of lies
For her name to be written in lights
So long gone the jesters and judges
The painful and dark Friday nights
How come it’s taken this long for the good to be right
and so strong?
Did she just lose her soul in the fight
And stole away in the night
And she starts to wonder what her life became
As the flower bloomed
And the princess blossomed and became the queen
She walked into a crowd
And everyone would stare
No one laughed outloud
And everybody cared
And the dream held true and she never had to hide
With her head held high with dignity and pride
Bird of paradise
Proud as a peacock with a thousand eyes
Soaring high as your heart might take you
They’ll say in the years she made dreams come true
Now has come the time to see her shine
And cross that line
And the paper boy hold the news of what might have been
With his hand held high
He shouts to the bustling crowd
That the princess grew up and became the queen
The lyrics of Pendragon's 'Bird of Paradise' narrate the journey of a girl whose life started in a rough neighbourhood. She finds herself looking in the mirror often, hoping to escape her mundane life, which is far from perfect. She indulges in drinking to forget her existence, wondering if it could be anything like a beautiful flower blooming. As the song progresses, she gains the confidence to step out into the world and face the fear of being judged or ridiculed. She finds herself in the spotlight, but this time, no one is laughing at her, and everyone cares for her. She becomes a Bird of Paradise, proud and confident, with a thousand eyes. She shines bright like a queen and makes her dreams come true.
The lyrics embody a sense of hope and resilience, where the singer overcomes her doubts and fears to become someone who she always dreamed of. Further, the song urges listeners to take control of their lives and never be afraid to chase their dreams.
Line by Line Meaning
Born of pure Brazilian blood
She was born as a Brazilian
On the wrong side of town
She grew up in a bad neighborhood
A street fighting neighbourhood
A dangerous and violent environment
An innocent victim of circumstance
She didn't choose her circumstances
One day surely you’ll get your chance
Hope for the future
Staring at herself in the mirror’s reflection
Thinking about herself
Far from a world of mystery and perfection
Her world wasn't perfect
Picking at painted fingernails
Nervous habit
Tossing her hair when all else fails
Trying to look confident
Sulking into large cocktails until the strangers fade away
Drinking to forget
And she starts to wonder what her life might be
Reflecting on her life
If the flower bloomed
If she succeeded
And the princess blossomed and became the queen
If she achieved greatness
She walked into a crowd
Stepping into the spotlight
And everyone would stare
Capturing everyone's attention
Would they laugh outloud?
Were they mocking her?
Would anybody care?
Did anyone care about her success?
And the dream dissolved and she had to hide
Her dream didn't come true
When they crushed her soul and fed on her pride
When people hurt her emotionally
Bird of paradise
A symbol of beauty and success
Proud as a peacock with a thousand eyes
Proud and confident
Soaring high as your heart might take you
Achieving great things
They’ll say in the years she made dreams come true
People will remember her success
Now has come the time to see her shine
Her time to shine has arrived
And cross that line
To take the risk and succeed
There’s nobody here today can stand up and say that she ever walked away
She never gave up
Half closed eyes scan the papers of lies
Reading negative news
For her name to be written in lights
Hoping for recognition
So long gone the jesters and judges
Leaving behind the negative people
The painful and dark Friday nights
Difficult times in the past
How come it’s taken this long for the good to be right and so strong?
Why did it take so long for things to improve?
Did she just lose her soul in the fight
Did the struggle take a toll on her?
And stole away in the night
Disappearing without a trace
And the paper boy hold the news of what might have been
The news of her missed opportunity
With his hand held high
Making an announcement
He shouts to the bustling crowd
Informing the public
That the princess grew up and became the queen
Announcing her success
