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.
Everafter
Claire Voyant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then left you in the sane world
I do realize I'm often vague
The shore smells the sweetest when all that is left your pale your dry
And I do recognize I'm often vain
Eros stole your words and you weren't the same
-not scared of time
The souls never-ending and worth the wait-
It's safe to fly
I do recognize this old souls face
Everafter... I do believe in Everafter. I do
The song Everafter by Claire Voyant is a beautiful piece that speaks to the pain of lost love and the hope of finding it again. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person whose heart has been taken by the sun, a metaphor for a love that was bright and intense, but ultimately fleeting. The sun has now left the person alone in a sane world, a world that is safe and predictable but lacks the passion and excitement that love can bring.
The singer of the song is aware of her own tendencies towards vagueness and vanity, but she also recognizes that there is more to life than just fate. She believes in the eternal nature of the soul and the idea that true love is worth waiting for. She declares her belief in Everafter, a place where love and happiness can last forever.
