Vicki Burns, “Love Spell” [Song Premiere]
“Love Spell” is a new original composition by vocalist Vicki Burns. She describes it as “a dreamy original about the first stirrings of love and that enchanting tingle of anticipation it brings.” The recording features the masterful trio of pianist Art Hirahara, bassist Sam Bevan (who also took care of the arrangement) and drummer Billy Drummond, plus young lion Dayna Stephens on saxophone. “Love Spell” will be featured on Burns’ forthcoming new album, Lotus Blossom Days, due out May with liner notes by Neil Tesser.
lyrics
Love Spell
I'll study the stars and I'll chart the moon
And at just the right time, I will conjure you
With the tears of a dove and the morning dew
with the blossom of love, I will capture you-
A bouquet of violets, worn above my heart
Is a charm for healing, what was torn apart
At the velvety hour, between 12 and 3
Your heart full of desire
You will come to me-
