"Allure"
allure’ [-loor] vt. entice, win over, fascinate –n. attractiveness –allure’ment n.
-allu’ring a. charming, seductive –allu’ringly adv.
According to my giant dictionary in my house, that is the meaning of the word: allure. Oddly enough before I gave the song that name I didn’t now the meaning of the word and now that I do, I don’t think any other word could sum up the song better!
Ok, there are two characters in this song, The Tempest and The Serpentine, which are pretty much the good and bad aspects of the person whom the song is about. I wanted to capture how much this person ‘fascinates’ me. I think I did. When she heard the song she taught it was too long and taught it was ‘ok’ meaning she wasn’t impressed at all! Ha! Its kind a funny isn’t it? You write a symphony for someone and they don’t like it! Ha!
Anyways the song was written in the one go, when I was supposed to be studying for my Christmas Exams. In a way it’s the first “post isinglas song”. I liked it when I wrote it, but I knew it was missing a gimmick; which I try put I all my songs to try differentiate them from each other. Mark Whelan had bought a 12-string acoustic, he showed it to me and I picked it up and strummed the first chord of the song, and smiled to myself, I had found my gimmick! Cheers for letting me use your guitar Mark!
How I can I put this? ‘There are friggen loads of acoustic guitars on this song!’ Acoustics only here people. No electrics! Including the 12-string tracks I’d say there is close to 15!! I miked up everything, I want to get that ‘warm’ feeling for the guitars. In a way there are probably too many guitars on it, because I think the effect of the 12-string isn’t that dominant on the song. It was fun figuring out all the harmonies for the riffs. I had fun writing the lyrics too, twisting and weaving them in and out of the music.
THANK YOU CAROL FOR PUTTING YOUR SWEET, SWEET VOICE ON MY CRUMMY SONG!! Carol totally blew me away when she recorded on this in her tiny room, at the top of her house by UCC. Whatever way she delivers the second chours in the song is amazing!!
Thanks to Sham also for your words that you said. They give me the confidence to carry on with this ‘façade’!! Ha!
