Their self-titled 1995 début has been followed by two more studio albums. Each has introduced fresh new sounds and styling, something that has successfully kept them from being pigeon-holed in one genre.
Victoria Lloyd provides consistently powerful, but gentle and ethereal vocals, and haunting and enigmatic lyrics, Ben Fargen's clean and bright guitars, and Chris Ross's lush keyboards all give the band their own distinct and unique style. They are currently signed to Metropolis Records, and released their long-awaited fourth album, Lustre, in September of 2009.
The band seems to be on hiatus since July 2010.
Aqua
Claire Voyant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The same voice is calling me home
Time goes back and round again
Only your name in my head
Thoughts will pass
Sleep well tonight
I know your demons and delight...
Holding the rain in my hand
Lose your worth and then your heart
I know there is no way I will stop
I know nothing that I write
But I can see your world
Can't you see mine
Can you see through my eyes
Can you see through mine
The song Aqua by Claire Voyant is a poignant and emotional expression of the longing for someone who is absent. The opening line, "Sunlight moves through darkened halls," sets the tone for the rest of the song, as it paints a picture of a lonely and desolate place. The singer is calling out to someone who is not there, but whose voice they can still hear, calling them home. The repetition of this line gives the song a haunting quality, as if the singer is haunted by the person they are missing.
As the song continues, the singer reflects on the passage of time and how it seems to loop back on itself, with only memories of the person they are missing to keep them company. They hold onto the rain in their hand, a metaphor for the fleeting nature of life and love. They know that they can't stop missing this person, even if they try. The line "I know nothing that I write" is particularly poignant, suggesting that the singer doesn't even know how to express their feelings in words, but they can still see the world of the person they miss.
Overall, Aqua is a powerful meditation on loss and longing, capturing the deep emotions that come with missing someone who is no longer there.
