A hypnotic & harmony filled cover of Castin' My Spell (On You)

Kate Bush meets Hocus Pocus. Be bewitched and dance to the earthly rhythms under a full moon. A mesmerizing version of the 1959's hand jive Halloween classic Castin' My Spell. More Kate Bush than Johnny Otis who originally performed it with Marci Lee. It was written by brothers, Alvin and Edwin Johnson. Filled with soaring harmonies, ukulele rhythm, suitcase beats, hurdy-gurdy midi and a hypnotic performance. The visuals compliment the tone of the music performance.
Castin' My Spell is Song 073 in my ongoing song series I started New Years Day 2021. All performances and production is handled by myself and created using my iPad and iPhone and Garageband and Lumifusion apps.

That was fun!! It was a good song to choose.

This pushed me to try something quite different than my norm. Really loved the process of discovery. You should check out the 1950’s version. It is so different from this. Totally different grove and vibe.

Excellent!

[@BethPortmanSings]

Thanks Laura! When I first started playing around with the arrangement it was more like the 1959 version but I really love the direction it took which is completely different. I

Excellent as usual! You amaze me!

This has to be my favourite arrangement and visual for my songVids. I had no idea when I started with this song I’d end up with this version. Thanks!

Your creativity blows my mind!! 🖤🧡

[@BethPortmanSings]

Thanks Louisa❤️! I do get nervous that I’ll run out of ideas but always remind myself the song will guide me. This is completely different from my original concept which was much more traditional witch with pointed hat and comical. I prefer this much more since it’s an artistic approach and less novelty. Happy Halloween 🎃

This is sooo good!

[@BethPortmanSings]

This is my favourite of all the videos I've done. The music arrangement and the visuals all works so well and made me try something new.

Superb. Your travels 'out of the box' keep getting further and further:-) I suspect they know no boundaries. Excellent use of overdubbing and video effects. Of course, your performance was just great.

[@BethPortmanSings]

I’m so happy you feel that way Kluane! I really loved how this turned out both sonically and visually. Next songVid will be really simple to cleanse the creative palette.🎶

Pretty good. Where are you playing. I think I would pay to hear you.

[@BethPortmanSings]

These song videos are a great creative outlet. I get to do things I never would do live. Because I have the freedom of video and recording.

That it is. I enjoyed exploring this different feel. A switch from my usual.
