## Music and composition

Dexy for AmericanSongwriter:

> “It’s an imagined scenario of a honeymoon taking place in the ’80s at Niagara Falls, then glides into meeting up with a gypsy in San Francisco and having a night out, into a sort of a psychedelic flower garden, It’s reflective of some things in my life but it’s not literal. A lot of people ask me if I do acid, but no I don’t do drugs at all.”

## Critical reception

American Songwriter:

> “In under 30 minutes, every burst of *Illuminate* captivates. Steadily streaming through its own consciousness and see-sawed between reality and reverie, *Illuminate* opens on a rapturous tale of lovers and nomads on “Honeymoon”.”
>
>

The RingMaster Review:

> “Magic Wands make captivation instant through album opener *Honeymoon*, its gentle yet keen entrance shaped by an infectious swing within haze drenched electronics. As quickly, Dexy’s ethereal tones are calling, coaxing even keener attention as the song strolls with lively relaxation through its paradisiacal romance. For all its radiance there is also a slight but open hue of discord and a Curve-esque lining which just completes the enthralment on offer.”

## Lyrics

Learn to forget

All that you know

Happiness, some

Say it comes and goes

We can run away

We can have it all

You can take my hand

To Niagra Falls

Make a wish

Underneath the stars

Pink waterfalls

Wash away the dark

We can run away

We can have it all

You can take my hand

To Niagra Falls

Nobody knows

Were in the Poconos

On a Honeymoon

Honeymoon

Honeymoon

Honeymoon

Honeymoon

Dazed in the Sun

Slide in the hot tub

Forget the world

Addicted to your love

We can run away

We can have it all

You can take my hand

To Niagra Falls

Nobody knows

Were in the Poconos

On a Honeymoon

Honeymoon

Honeymoon

Honeymoon

Honeymoon

Heart shaped tub

Fire burning wood

Bear skin rug

Neverending love

Diamond ring

All those special things

Hot water bed

Chocolate

Whipped cream

Honeymoon
