Illume
Ah it's been so long, too long perhaps since sitting down here and writing. I give myself the excuse that I have been so very busy and I am an old woman afterall.
The latest album, a collective of years of writing, 18 songs that might not have seen the light were it not for this album. 9 are mine and 9 are his...the Buckingham one, you know who I mean.
The man who is my other half in so many ways. Both alone except for our music we write to live and live to write. Our paths chosen long ago. We could be no more a couple were we married with children of our own.
And now it is to begin again, in a scant 3 days. May 7th. The tour begins.
Illume
Says the candle that I burn
A reflection in the window
All the way to point Dune
A cliff dweller from the old school-
I like the coastal cities
I like the lights
I like the way the ocean blends
Into the city at night
Like living on a working river
The coastline is glittering-
Like a diamond snake-
In a black sky
And I am alone with my thoughts
And how we could make it-
And what we have all been through
And all of the trauma-
With the smell of Nag Champa
Like a kiss- like a stranger-
What we have seen on this journey
Are what legends are made of-
I will not take you for granted
My friend, my dear one, my love-
I wouldn’t trade you for jade…
Or for diamonds~
I need you to be there~
Please~
Remember when I am haunted
That I was just scared-
And when I remember
That day in my life-
I will remember that you-
Were there-
is the song closest to my heart. It's the first thing I wrote really after 9/11.
