I always thought she was singing Illumine there, but I guess not? Then I thought maybe there was an accent on the last "e" in Illume, on the candles, but no:

Well if anything... this puts to bed the copyright/trademark issue with Nag Champa/Champra. If she doesn't mind using the word Illume, why would she worry about Nag Champa?

Wonder if she had to call Bangalore or wherever the heck that stuff is made at. lol

Like everyone said about "Illume"... it's a brand... and it's American.

But, she can't get whatever the heck this box says to let her use "Champa"?

D*mn that Don Henley!

In her journals around Sep 11th she shared "Illume" with us when it was a poem and in that she wrote Champa without the R.

Well that puts an entirely new twist to it and kills my whole theory that she was mispronouncing it on the record. So now we know that she knew the correct way of saying it so why in the heck would she intentionally mispronounce it on the album if it wasn't a trademark issue? She's weird....lol.

Speaking of Illume, what do you guys think of the song itself? When I first got SYW it was my favorite song on the album. They lyrics are profound and the message and story behind it, well I don't even need to go there. I love the tribal beat. The song has such an original sound and the production is amazing. Stevie has never done a song that sounds like Illume. It has faded as being one of my favorites but every once in a while I go back and listen to it and realize what a truly amazing song it is. Very spiritual, very powerful.

It seems, if you look on the web, you can find it both ways: nag champa and nag champra. Maybe one is a bastardized verson? Dunno. It would appear nag champa is the more universally used name, and maybe Stevie knows that, too. Maybe she just messed it up when she sang it

, but liked that take of it.

Nope, because on the lyrics in the album it's spelled Nag ChampRa so it was intentional. Why is the question?

Hmmmm.... okay, my theory bites then!

Not the first time. Maybe we should just chalk it up to Stevieness.

I love this song!!
The mysterious voice echo towards the end of the song. Is that her? Just with some computer enhancement to make her sound like that?

Yes, they definitely added some production on her voice in this one. I think it was done really well though and I believe that is her.

I LOVE the song. It is different and Lindsey's production is wonderful. I like how it sounds nothing like she normally does. The echo sound is perfect. Her vocals are heartfelt as well. I had such a hard time with people blasting her for writing this song. They seemed to entirely miss the point that she was expressing HER feelings about the day. I love the journal entries regarding the song and wish she would have kept the original lyrics...
"so when I remember that day in my life, I will remember that you were there". Swoon. The "I need you to be there" verse is beautiful but I like the journal entry soooo much. Interesting how Stevie admits to being needy....she usually doesn't.

Why did they blast her for Illume?
