I felt the meaning and the rhythm and the hauntedness of that song sooooo strongly and I've loved it ever since. .....I would not take you for granted, I would trade you for jade or for diamonds, not for anything....I needed to be there, Just REMEMBER when I'm Haunted, that I was just so scared....

And the harmonies that follow are just as haunting. I love haunted songs!Thanks for letting me tell my story!

I'm the same way. Haunted songs are the best. But yeah, like I said earlier, Illume is a very powerful song and I actually haven't listened to it in awhile, so I think I'll have to pop it in.

I like it just for the fact she took a "Stevie Risk "and wrote about something other than her usual love affair memoirs~ Its not the best song in the world~ but I like it!

I love that song. It is very dramatic in the true Stevie way, but she is not trying to be dramatic it was just the way she was felt and wo it must have been such a feeling to be in NYC at that time - no wonder she wrote about it - how could she not.. She writes about her experiences in life and this must have been a major event. It's a very moving song.

I just listened to this song for the first time in ages and I really do love it. I think it would've made a great album opener for a Stevie solo album though as opposed to where it stands now.

This is great song!!!
Very classic Stevie lyrics... I sing it everytime I light incense...

I like Illume very much. Certaintly one of her best tracks on SYW. I really like the melody. The production is OK but I always felt that more could have been done with the ending, something a bit more dramatic. Those weak "ay ay ay ay's at the end don't match the subtle power of the rest of the song. Otherwise, I think Lindsey did a pretty good job capturing Illume's spirit.
