    Happy Halloween everyone 🎃🦇👻 We hope you enjoyed this spooky (and very creepy) song! We have so much fun doing something a little different every once in a while, so thank you for allowing us to get creative and dress up sometimes! EDIT: We chose to sing "garden of shadows" instead of "garden of magic" because a huge inspiration for our version was the incredible cover by Erutan, and we wanted to maintain that more sinister approach throughout ours as well #sorrynotsorry 😉🖤

      I mean that's one interpretation... but you know
      "Hush now sweet children, It must be this way/ Too weary of life and deceptions"
      That sounds to me like the singer just poisoned the children and is singing to them as they fall asleep, never to awaken again

      Jesse Smith Chills. You gave me chills. But, what I think the song means by “Hush now sweet children, it must be this way, to weary of life and deceptions.” I think the singer is trying to comfort the children and take them away to a better place besides the world we live in, because it’s horrible.

    Lyrics:
    Come little children
    I'll take thee away
    Into a land of enchantment
    Come little children
    The time's come to play
    Here, in my garden of Shadows
    Follow sweet children
    I'll show thee the way
    Through all the pain and the sorrows
    Weep not poor children
    For life is this way
    Murdering beauty and passion
    Hush now dear children
    It must be this way
    Too weary of life and deceptions
    Rest now my children
    For soon we'll away
    Into the calm and the quiet
    [Interlude]
    Come little children
    I'll take thee away
    Into a land of enchantment
    Come little children
    The time's come to play
    Here, in my garden of Shadows

    Okay. So. I love Hocus Pocus, and i have a theory on the Sanderson Sisters. I believe Sarah is part Siren, which would explain her beauty and her ability to lure (in this case, children) to her with the sound of her voice, which to those who hear it, sounds angelic and soothing, which puts them in a hypnotic trance-like state. I think Mary may be part wolf, judging from her ability to smell the children and the fact she is loyal to Winifred, despite the manner in which she is treated, similar to how a dog would be loyal to it's owner. Winifred, however, is just a witch, and I believe that is why she treats her sisters so cruelly, aside from being the oldest, she is jealous of her sister's gifts.

    Sounds wonderful.... Spooky yet soothing...
    Adding a male voice (while the movie only featured one single witch) did surprise me, but actually it did give the song just that littlebit extra.
    The song does have that "luring" effect (after all, Sarah lures the children into their deaths, so the witches can become younger in the process... This verse actually exposes that: "Hush now dear children, It must be this way, to weary of life and deceptions. Rest now my children, gor soon we'll away, Into the calm and the quiet" although it *is* kinda cryptic... Which is of course done on purpose).

    As the witch flew by the window of a little girls house, she heard soft crying. She slowly turned around and hovered outside the window. She sang and the window open. The girl, a 6 year old with black hair and white eyes crawled out. The girl was captivated by the music and the beautiful woman in front of her. The witch, named Jade, sang until the girl's eyes became heavy and closed in sleep. She scooped her up and brought her to a small garden, filled with plants used in potions and brews. "Follow sweet children, I'll show thee the way, into the calm and the quiet." She whispered as she laid her down and tucked a sprig of rosemary in her hair. "The times come to play, here in my garden of shadows." She sat up as she heard the lyric finished. The other voice was a different child, hidden behind the trees. And another behind the wall. They all padded forwards and sat in a circle around Jade and sang. The times come to play, here in our garden of shadows~" The children faded and the voices disappears. Jade stands and looks at the girl. Her body in a mist and her hair floats near her. You know what you must do, miss." The girl said, bowing her head. Jade smiled and grabbed her broom. "Of course little Raven. Sleep well."

      When you really listen to a lot of children's nursery rhymes, you'll see many of them already have some pretty dark meanings behind the lyrics! No reason this couldn't eventually become a lullaby someday.
      I grew up listening to this song every Halloween, and sometimes even randomly throughout the year. While I do understand the dark meaning behind the words, the song is designed to lull you into a sense of peace and calm. Sounds like a lullaby to me! 😆😁

    I love what you did with this song, I read the comments so I know the song is from Hocus Pocus and is about luring children to inevitable death by one of the witch sisters but when I first heard the song I thought of Death herself collecting young children scared of dying and promising them a better life in the afterlife. It's beautiful, it's creepy and grim and the music video you got there adds onto it perfectly

    • @5h4d0xx6
      @5h4d0xx6 Před 2 lety +8

      I don't think this piece is about luring anyone as such, but rather, about someone being there to hold the hands of the morbidly ill/dying (children in THIS case) as they pass over in order to make sure they aren't afraid. Which is a strange question when you think about it. Why would something so powerful as Death (as a personification) care whether or not we/children are afraid to die?
      On top of that, I think it's also about the sheer inevitability of death. When you think about it in a larger setting, whether it be God, Universal forces (i.e. more rooted in Physics, Biology etc than in Mysticism), ultimately - to a certain extent - our length of time on Earth, in this life, is governed by laws entirely outside of our control, and so to that extent, we are ALL the 'children' of someone/something else.
      I believe when Edgar Allen Poe wrote this he was writing it from the perspective of an otherworldly force.

As sorrowful as it is to lose our children, we can hope that they move on to a place of enchantment.

    This is a beautiful song.
    "Weep not poor children for life is this way".

    The first time I heard this song I was immediately entranced. I loved this rendition, beautifully done.

    This is literally the only song that can make me cry anymore. Like I literally just can't let any of it out unless I'm listening to this.
    Thank you so much.

    I keep wanting to say "magic" every time they say "shadows". But this was really beautiful, it could very easily be a song to listen to at night before going to bed. I just have to ignore the creepy lyrics and I should be fine.
