Questions about Harmonium

[JazzyManda]

ok, here's my questions about the new album

first, where is the Stevie Nicks we were told was on this? huh?
second, she said there was brass on this album.... all i hear is a trumpet with a harmon mute and a flugle horn. what gives?? where's the full orchestra. gr
third, where's Morning Sting? didn't she say that was her fave on the album? lol
oh and, is it just me, or in She Floats with the choir... is there a child screaming bloody murder over top of them? freaky...

I guess once we've seen booklet scans featuring credits etc that we'll have
a better idea of who did what lol i.e. "She Floats credits... Scream - VC"

Here's my question about Harmonium... What the HELL is going on in Winter?
I get the first part, about her dad. But the unicorns and vampires... I have no freaking clue.

I thought it was about rape, but maybe that's because there was an SVU rerun on at the time.  It's a stretch, but it could make sense.  It's one of those things only Vanessa can really tell us.

yeah, I thought of it this way:
the "daddy" she talks about is a metaphor for someone she looked up to, maybe a father figure to her, someone she needed approval from, kind of like the "papa" in Papa.  Also she gave him pleasure and now he gives her fear, makes sense.  As for Unicorns and Vampires, unicorns being white and pure symbolize innocence and the vampires being predators once her innocence was taken turning white to red.  "We turn to look and burn our eyes" means the taboo subject of rape and sex that still exists in American culture, and the stigma victims of rape feel.

the brass should be on morning sting

I think that part is really cool. It works well in the song.

The song "Winter" reminds me of the story The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe, i don't know why but thats the feeling i get like your snowed in and your whol eday is a fantasy
