This song, Witch, might sound like some kind of whiny break up song, but it is really about the freedom one can find within forgiveness (this pertains to self-forgiveness, as well). I found power in acceptance and in the letting go of that which was not me. Similar to the other songs I am releasing, this song was tracked & overdubbed in full takes where each instrument was done in a single take from start to finish. I really enjoy the feeling this approach gives to these home recordings I have been making. The sudden nuances and imperfections of certain moments in the songs are fucking charming to me. I hope it sounds like a band and not necessarily me overdubbing the instruments on top of the initial session where Robin & I played the song together. It is what it is. xo Maco lyrics WITCH I don't want to know whose ladder you're climbing up. And I don't really care who's bridge you're burning down. Some day you'll fall when the planks have burned & broke. The ladder will drop and you'll have no bridge to cross. I don't give a damn who's house you're wrecking now. And I don't want to feel the spells you're casting out. The words that you spoke won't have the magic that you have known. The ceiling will crumble and you'll be there on your own. I wish you the best and I don't want nothing less. I wish you the best as I know you were my friend. I wish you the best and I hope you'll understand I wish you the best & I don't want nothing less. I don't want to hear your voice on the breeze. And I don't want to see your face in my dreams. I know that you sing songs to state indifferences, but it won't be me in the crowd listening.
