The Festival

about

My new slow, dreamy folk song ‘The Festival’. I was going for a haunting, hypnotic, creepy, almost tribal-sounding production on this track and I hope I have achieved that. The song is about a festival and I tried to keep the lyrics purposefully vague to add to the ominous sound. It’s purposefully simple and repetitive because I wanted it to be hypnotic and cult-like. I really hope you can hear this in the track. I always really like it when something that is supposed to be happy and joyous is turned into something creepy and dark and although I didn’t want to be too on the nose with this track, I do think it’s great for Halloween season! As per usual, I composed, recorded and produced this song entirely myself (apart from the drums), and I also made a video that is available on my YouTube channel. I used an acoustic guitar, an 80s synth and a looped drum beat to make this track and I really hope you enjoyed.

lyrics

Come to the festival
Come to the festival
Meet our people
Meet our people

What would you give to the sacred one
What would you give to the sacred one

Dance round the maypole
Dance round the maypole
Laugh till you’re out of breath
Laugh till you’re out of breath

What would you give to the sacred one
What would you give to the sacred one

Light up the pyre
Light up the pyre
Body to the fire
Body to the fire

What would you give to the sacred one
What would you give to the sacred one

Come to the festival
Come to the festival
