    This is exactly how I predicted a video for "Spellwork" would be; dark, mysterious, but still filled with happy feelings. I just love Austra!

    Still blasting in 2024 (today is Thanksgiving and this song has decided to revisit me this November for some reason) anyhow
    My mon and I were outside and I started laughing as I remembered a time in 2013, I had a stressful job where I traveled and shared a hotel room with coworkers
    One night after getting out of the shower and playing this, my coworker said "Dude are you ok? I'm about to tell the manager this job is too much for you." Because he thought it was me singing
    If only my singing voice were this amazing. But yeah. Thought I'd share
    Happy holidays 🩶😊

    #lyrics
    Habit alone, when separate I moan
    Feeding on bones or anything grown
    I command post and nobody shows
    In mornings I rest here, in evenings I work here
    My debt isn't spent till the rest of me's left
    All I adore
    You must be the call, the evil at night
    Speaking words of grace while spellwork delights
    Feel my desire, it burns like a fire
    Feel my desire, it burns like a fire
    I work alone saving my soul
    If yesterday hurts, tomorrow is worse
    Send me a sign for my body's aligned
    I'm ready to waste all my limbs and my face
    My pores are wide open and bleed for your potion
    Spellwork and lies
    You must be the call, the evil at night
    Speaking words of grace while spellwork delights
    Feel my desire, it burns like a fire
    Feel my desire, it

    The perfect song to listen to in Spring, that start of all things new, the sowing of seeds for the forthcoming years harvest, witch craft sensibility, getting back in touch with our Pagan roots and Mother Earth. The dark sinister uñdertones and symbolism give it the real edge.

    "I command post, and nobody shows"
    I love that so much. Everyone has their own interpretation but for me it channels being the one in the front finally, the leader, the one to make the decisions, and no one shows, cares, sticks to the plans made.

  •  10 років тому +62

    This song sounds exactly like the post-punk new wave synth-pop bands from the first half of the 80's

    •  10 років тому +2

      the video also reminds me a lot of those made in that era for said bands

    • @joaoignacio1978
      @joaoignacio1978 10 років тому +3

      Paulo Sérgio Pinto Para mim, o vídeo é uma clara alusão ao episódio das bruxas de Salem. Quanto ao som específico desta música, concordo totalmente contigo. É quase um minimal post-punk synth-pop de 1981, 83, 84. É apesar disso, tem algo de muito orgânico, que acho que deve ser por causa da voz ''ancestral'' da Katie Stelmanis e dos background vocals ''esotéricos'' das gêmeas Lightman

    • @talktal

      no it doesnt. this is way more produced, and the bass is way heavier than early synth pop.

    If yesterday hurts, tomorrow is worse.
    Send me a sign, for my body's aligned.
    I'm ready to waste all my limbs and my face
    My pores are wide open
    And bleed for your potion,

    For all the people here questioning the music video: when your music is shit and says nothing, the producers will compensate with amazing, mind blowing videos. When you aren't mainstream and you lack the funds, you do what you can. And I like Austra for the music not for their videos.
