Tea with Hungry Lucy – Episode 73 (Willow Moon)
Episode 73 of Tea with Hungry Lucy begins with Christa and War-N performing part of a brand new song (born today) called “Willow Moon”. Let us know what you think of it. Christa tells us of the inspiration for the lyrics and War-N talks about his some methods of his writing methods. He’s been trying to break through some creative resistance. Steven Pressfield‘s book, “The War of Art” seems to be helping. W and CB wish each other a Happy Anniversary on their 7th year of marriage … time flies when you’re having oh-so-much fun! Whilst doing a bit of research War-N found several videos posted on YouTube in which some fine folks have used HL tunes. Among them are re-edits of Final Fantasy (We Won’t Go), Troy (Bed of Flames), Robin & Marian (A Girl Alone) and Grey’s Anatomy (Her Song) plus a lovely dark video using Claire Voyant‘s mix of Stay. Thanks to all that created these lovely videos. Music recommendations (OPM) this week are Tori Amos‘ new disc “American Doll Posse” and the upcoming release from Paula Cole entitled “Courage” (promo video).

Congrats on 7/10 years together…we’re only on 6 so we’ve got a bit yet to catch you…though I’m sure you still make beautiful music together like we do :-0
I like the new song. Very pretty and the lyrics are cool. “Sunday Smiled” was also very nice.
On the song…I like the ‘hey-hey-hey’ bit to carry the song between choruses….Very relaxed and mellow..
btw have you done ‘The story behind the relationship’….
:] I would just like to say I really liked the song anddd…
:0 I don’t really know what else to say,but you will know if I have anything else to say,because I’ll post another comment
Happy Anniversary! We just celebrated our 7th too (April 1st).
Thanks for sharing the new song, looking forward to more!
I’m loving the new Tori also, it’s jammed packed full of goodness. Have you given the new Bjork another try? It’s much more accessible than the last 2, give it another chance if you haven’t.
Thanks for all your feedback on “Willow Moon” folks. I’m pretty excited about this one. Somehow, it feels different.
I have listened to Volta a couple of times, and it is growing on me. I’ve had Earth Intruders stuck in my head on and off for a few days.
“Willow Moon”* is like “Sunday Smiled” to me – both really simple on the first listen, but there’s an awful lot going on there. They’ve stuck in my head now. Lovely. Are you sticking with this stripped-down sound for The Standing Ones? I’ll be snapping it up either way. Do you reckon I’ll be able to buy at the same time as a t-shirt?
American Doll Posse rules. The bonus tracks are great too, if you can find them… And I’m going to check out the Amazon previews of Medulla and Volta and perhaps treat myself once my exams finish. I only have Bjork’s Greatest Hits album at the moment.
By the way, I introduced a friend to HL via the “Harvest” video on my Bebo profile. She especially liked the kick-up in the music just after “let’s begin” and the bit with Christa climbing the tree. We both agreed that her outfit and little basket rock.
*The instant I heard “Willow” I thought of the song by Emilie Autumn. To make it more confusing, she has two songs of that title: one classical violin piece, and an unreleased demo she posted for free on her website forums. You can find the second one in the downloads section of http://www.batteredrose.com/ . Willow. It’s a beautiful word, isn’t it?
“7 years of BUUUURRRRPPP!!!” LOL!!
congrats and teh stuffness
I felt awful cuz when the song started I didnt like it, but I got to live it as it got on.. oh my… im freaking out ._. im so horrible!
ah I think I saw that final fantasy video. I think its clips from the game “Dirge of Cerberus”
meh, im so so sorry i havent been the good fan i used to be
I wanted to do a video with clips from the game ICO to the song “Glo”, but I havent done it yet :/
Nice chord progression, lots of room for backing harmonies if you wish to layer som into it…
Oh Skeb! don’t fret dear. You got on the HL train at a pretty young age. You know, musical tastes do change, and maybe that’s what happening to you. I have had that same reaction to a few Bel Canto albums, but then wound up really liking them. If you grow out of us, that’s perfectly ok. We still love ya!!
Thanks for the feedback everyone! And yes, I do plan to have harmony layers in Willow Moon…quite a lush sound, really. But then, you guys haven’t heard the full version. With all of the music, it sounds much fuller!!
Well, we SHALL talk to you next week! We’ll have lots to discuss about what’s going on this week!!
Take care all,
cb
:: cries :: lol I still like your other albumsiessss
