  This song can be understood on two levels.
  At first sight it is a simple sentimental piece,
  but beneath it lies a history of pure imagination,
  enchantment and impossibility.
  
  The composer already realises he is
  no longer feeling what he is writing,
  he is just weaving a spell,
  over an ostinato guitar motif,
  to try to bring the feelings back
  (hence the title "Incantation").
  
  He has found in his life that
  whenever he writes a song
  for the object of his desire,
  he has already
  begun to stop feeling that desire ...
  it is a sign that the relationship
  is about to change
  or disappear.
  
  But the whole thing is indeed
  enchantment and magic:
  you can dream and
  you can take the song at face value
  if you wish.
