about

A witchy feminist Halloween song about having the confidence to let yourself get freaky deaky, speak up for yourself, and celebrate what makes you unique.

2023 has truly been the spookiest year of my life. Both of my parents unexpectedly passed away at 58 years old within 2 months of each other… “Spooky” was recorded in the 1860s house I inherited from my mother - the house she died in. By candlelight on a full moon in August, I recorded the vocals before heading off to Europe for 5 weeks.

lyrics

Verse 1:

Born in a basket
To shopkeepers of mystical things
Disco balls, waterfalls, mantras and wings
More comfortable with her feet in the dirt
Running around topless
Who needs a shirt anyway

Pre-chorus:

She was taught to question every lesson in the book
Love big, live proud, be loud and
Dance like no one’s looking

Chorus:

Now, she’s a witch in the wind
Riding on a piece of patriarchy
She dismantles within
Nobody suspects a thing
She casts spells into songs
And puts ‘em up on streaming platforms
So you can all sing along
And manifest your destiny

She don’t need Halloween
To get spooky

Verse 2:

Post equinox cry
With a blood red sky
Honoring the summer
And the death of the fireflies

Trick or treat
She’s a freak
Light language in her sleep
What’s she throwing in the tea?
Affirmations on repeat, like
I’m a fucking goddess
There’s nothing that can stop me

Pre-chorus:

She was taught to question every lesson in the book
Love big, live proud, be loud and
Dance like no one’s looking, now



Chorus:

She’s a witch in the wind
Riding on a piece of patriarchy
She dismantles within
Nobody suspects a thing
She casts spells into songs
And puts ‘em up on streaming platforms
So you can all sing along
And manifest your destiny

She don’t need Halloween
To get spooky

Outro Spell:

Gather ‘round the fire together
Cauldron smoking, boil nettle
Whisper words and burn old letters
Dance by moonlight
Howl forever
