“No Illusion” was the first glance into Isadoré’s 5-track concept project inspired by the classic feminist novel “Women Who Run with the Wolves” by Clarissa Pinkola Estés.In early 2018, Isadoré was invited by the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in Alberta, Canada to attend a 5 week residency writing and recording music where she masterminded this textual, alt-pop treat.
I invite listeners to dance in the footsteps of their ancestors and dive into the mystique of introspective feminine folklore.
lyrics
No Illusion
Scan the room to find your face
It’s a habit I can’t erase
But I know I’m fine without you
She walks in and takes your place
Now she’s the one who dictates
How to live my life without you
I’m gonna dance with you wild woman
the way you move is no illusion
I’m gonna dance with you wild woman
The way you move is no illusion
No illusion
No illusion
No illusion
No illusion
Trying to shed these memories
Still got a few too many
I wonder if she’d care or dare
Slowly she takes my hand she speaks in tongues I can’t understand
But I know where we are going
I’m gonna dance with you wild woman
the way you move is no illusion
I’m gonna dance with you wild woman
The way you move is no illusion
No illusion
No illusion
No illusion
No illusion
And the way she looks at me
Tells me she’d never given up on me
And the way she looks at me
Tells me she’s never given up on me
I’m gonna dance with you wild woman
the way you move is no illusion
I’m gonna dance with you wild woman
The way you move is no illusion
No illusion
No illusion
No illusion
No illusion
