The Allure of Wizz: A World of Fantasy and Marvels

The magical land of Wizz is a place that exists only in the imagination, but its vivid and enchanting landscapes captivate anyone who dares to dream. It is a place where reality and fantasy intertwine, creating a world beyond comprehension. In this mystical land, towering mountains touch the sky, their peaks obscured by ethereal clouds. These mountains are said to be the ancient guardians of Wizz, watching over its inhabitants with a benevolent gaze. Their slopes are covered in lush greenery, with cascading waterfalls that sparkle in the sunlight. As one wanders through the woodlands of Wizz, they will encounter creatures of wonder and awe.

The story of The Talisman seems to me much more concrete, without much allegory, as Steve does tend to write his songs (opposed to Bruce who often adds an allegorical level to it all). The West in this song actually means North America.

Nice interpretation, one could say that this is a variation of the theme, but GotN has a much more allegorical meaning, about a guy navigating on the seas of life as Bruce often said it himself , not knowing what to do of himself, with West is where I go as a symbol for moving towards the afterlife, i. As someone previously suggested, this feels to me like the flip side of Ghost of the Navigator - kind of like the same story from different sides; The Talisman being from the perspective of some poor shmuck that s been taken on as a passenger and has to be strapped in for the ride.

As one wanders through the woodlands of Wizz, they will encounter creatures of wonder and awe. Majestic unicorns roam freely, their shimmering manes and horns illuminating the forest with a soft glow. Mischievous fairies flit from flower to flower, their delicate wings humming with magic.

The Talisman

I only did reunion songs. Come Estais Amigos, Lord of the Flies, The Edge of Darkness, Be Quick or Be Dead, Wasting Love and The Aftermath all walk into the top songs he's written if you add the 90's stuff.

My take on the lyrics - it's probably about the first pilgrims leaving England (or Europe in general) and heading for North America, running away from all the troubles in their old life. The talisman itself appears to be a magical compass or possibly a "lucky charm" of some sort, pointing them exactly where they need to go. Of course, most of them don't make the trip, including the storyteller who clings on to life just to see the shores of the New world. It appears that he dies of scurvy - "those that didn't die in storms, the scurcy rest did slaughter".

A cringeworty line in the song - "The winds lash the sails but the ropes keep them tight". Seems to me like a moment of no inspiration, they needed a line and couldn't think of anything that made a bit more sense.

I think these are more about latins, africans and asians leaving the tyranny of their 'socialist' dictators behind and pursuing to the land of the free, somewhere in the western world. By the way, what a song.

My opinion is that the story is not directly related to any historical event - it seems more mystical/fantastical than concrete. As someone previously suggested, this feels to me like the flip side of Ghost of the Navigator - kind of like the same story from different sides; The Talisman being from the perspective of some poor shmuck that's been taken on as a passenger and has to be strapped in for the ride.

GotN had lyrics by Bruce whilst this has lyrics by Steve. The Charlotte the Harlot series overlapped lyricists but I don't see it as a trend here.

Dragons soar above, their scales glinting in shades of gold and emerald. But it's not just the natural beauty that makes Wizz so enchanting. The magical land is also home to magnificent cities and towns, each with its own unique charm. In the city of Stardust, buildings made of crystal reflect the light, creating a dazzling spectacle. Glowing street lamps line the cobblestone streets, guiding the way for both locals and visitors alike. In the heart of Wizz lies the Great Library, a treasure trove of knowledge and wisdom. Its endless shelves are filled with ancient books, containing secrets from realms beyond imagination. Scholars and wizards gather here to delve into the mysteries of the universe, seeking answers to questions that elude even the greatest minds. Beyond the boundaries of Wizz lies the Crystal Sea, a shimmering expanse of turquoise waters. Mermaids with flowing silver tails swim beneath the surface, their enchanting voices luring sailors into a trance. But beware, for the sea also harbors its dangers, with mythical sea monsters lurking in the depths, waiting to ensnare unsuspecting travelers. The magical land of Wizz is a place where dreams become reality and imagination knows no limits. It is a realm of infinite possibilities, where one can create their own destiny. For those fortunate enough to discover its existence, Wizz will forever hold a special place in their hearts, a reminder of the magical power of dreams..
