mysteria
Guitar, Vocals, & production by Zefora
Accordion by Cha'tima
A song about a reluctant burlesque dancer, inspired by translations of vintage Moulin Rouge posters and early1900's burlesque movies.
"Mysteria"
Entertainment every night
Ladies dance for your delight
Take your place
Raise the curtain
See her dance in flesh and jade
As she drops her fine brocade
Cat calls come from the aisles again
All of those greedy joyous grins again
Give the men a pretty smile
And lift your skirt just so
It's only for a little while
On with the show
Entertainment every night
Ladies dance for your delight
See the spectacle risque
The grand revue at the cabaret

Enchanting vocals. The song is very true to the mood of the cabaret/burlesque. Lots of feelings affecting the listener!

@Rónán Kearney: no no, this is purely a work of fiction. I've never been a turn-of-the-last-century burlesque dancer. ;)

Really unusual sounding, enchanting piece. And great rhyme on risque/cabaret. Cole Porter would approve!

No room to comment (which is a complement in itself) so had to piggyback on Hugh's comment to simply say what has already been said before, beautiful collaboration, thought provoking lyrics and wonderful cover pic that pretty much says it all... I am so thrilled to have found your page and can't wait to share this with Gail ;)
