| Judee Sill – Crayon Angels Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
There is definitely something here of a hallucinatory quality, but it seems even more to be about Sill's expectation and hope for revelation, which might not be coming soon enough.
The idea of "crayon angels" reminds me of the Beatles, although I don't know to what extent Sill was influenced by them. (I think of newspaper taxis, cellophane flowers and marmalade skies).
The song definitely ends on a note of doubt, and doubt seems to replace any hope at mystical revelation..."I wonder what it means." With this type of doubt, hallucinations might have more reality to them than she once thought. |
