about

From my 6th CD, Djinn, released on the French fairy-world label Prikosnovenie 2008. One of several songs about my late familiar, our beloved ebony fairy lion pantherlina muse, it borrows a little imagery from Shakespeare's play 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'; I've slipped this one into the brew instead of another Djinn song I played live, which I couldn't find in WAV format during this spontaneous compilation. Ah, fey-lions!

lyrics

'Fai'

How now, o’ spirit! Whither wander you?
Over thine hills, over yonder dale
On through the bushes, on, on through the briar;
Over park, over pale, through flood, through fire
I do wander… everywhere, Swifter than the Moon!
(yes, even the Orb’s sphere!) Here… Hear
Bring your fey favours, loll in sweet sloth;
Sleek Midnight savours, vapours of the broth
Oberon blinks bees, passing fell an’ wrath –
Hang a pearl in every ear!
There’s a changeling in the Moon!
And your Dream Cat taps the Loom
And she’s here, Black Djinn spins near
And she’s far, dancing with stars….

(allusion: ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’, Shakespeare)
