If You See Her

Track two of Delusion Rain, a prog ballad opening on a recurring acoustic guitar riff.
Mystery, from Delusion Rain (2015)

St-Pere wrote words and music, per the band's lyrics page. It runs 6:11, or 6:10 by some reviews. Jean Pageau recorded it early and it was one of his demos that made it onto the album. We found no statement from the band on its subject; Progwereld's Ralph Uffing wrote that it feels like a love song though the lyrics are not actually about love, and heard it opening on a recurring acoustic guitar riff, a breather after the title track, recalling Clepsydra's album Alone. Babyblaue-Seiten found it built to the rules of AOR neo-prog, decent but perhaps a little too harmless; Betreutes Proggen found it immediately appealing; and Progreport called the live version a sublime prog ballad with lush keyboards.

The live version is track three of Second Home (5:55, April 3, 2016) and a 6:01 bonus on the vinyl of Lies and Butterflies. It remained in the sets of the 2025 Delusion Rain tenth-anniversary tour, typically eighth, through November 8, 2025. We found no single, chart entry or video, and do not know whether our upload is the studio or a live version.
