Usher and Lord Byron, one of the same.

If Lord Byron was alive today, I am sure that he and Usher would be living up the night life together in the high class clubs. Lord Byron is very similar to the modern day Usher we all know. They both enjoy the high society aristocratic life and both make it known that they do. Byron was rumored to have multiple lady friends and children with different women. In one of Usher's songs "Confessions," he sings about having children with multiple women. He was very popular with the ladies and loved to dress in high fashion and live the upper class live style. He also wrote lots of poems about love and women. Just like Usher they both write about women and the ups and downs of love.

 

TOP 5 REASONS USHER AND LORD BYRON WOULD BE FRIENDS:

  • They both love the ladies.
  • They dress in the highest of fashion.
  • They loved the night life and the clubs.
  • They express themselves through the art of poetry and song writing.
  • They were an important icon of their time.

Perhaps, Usher would appreciate this poem Lord Byron wrote, maybe he would even base a song on it.
 
Maid of Athens, ere we part
 
  Maid of Athens, ere we part,
Give, oh, give back my heart!
Or, since that has left my breast,
Keep it now, and take the rest!
Hear my vow before I go,
Zoë mou sas agapo.

By those tresses unconfined,
Wooed by each Aegean wind;
By those lids whose jetty fringe
Kiss thy soft cheeks' blooming tinge;
By those wild eyes like the roe,
Zoë mou sas agapo.

By that lip I long to taste;
By that zone-encircled waist;
By all the token-flowers that tell
What words can never speak so well;
By love's alternate joy and woe,
Zoë mou sas agapo.

Maid of Athens! I am gone:
Think of me, sweet! when alone.
Though I fly to Istambol,
Athens holds my heart and soul:
Can I cease to love thee? No!
Zoë mou sas agapo.
