#lyrics Habit alone, when separate I moan Feeding on bones or anything grown I command post and nobody shows In mornings I rest here, in evenings I work here My debt isn't spent till the rest of me's left All I adore You must be the call, the evil at night Speaking words of grace while spellwork delights Feel my desire, it burns like a fire Feel my desire, it burns like a fire I work alone saving my soul If yesterday hurts, tomorrow is worse Send me a sign for my body's aligned I'm ready to waste all my limbs and my face My pores are wide open and bleed for your potion Spellwork and lies You must be the call, the evil at night Speaking words of grace while spellwork delights Feel my desire, it burns like a fire Feel my desire, it

[@musiclindo1962]

Thank you for the lyrics ❤️

[@cardinalsin.]

LOVE YOU

[@hadbetterdays]

Sounds like a lonely, hard-working witch to me. Hail Austra!

[@nils365]

This is exactly how I predicted a video for "Spellwork" would be; dark, mysterious, but still filled with happy feelings. I just love Austra!

[@brookeschrader5740]

10 years later, I still never ever regret buying this album. This song is fucking magical.

[@alters1990]

Underated a.f

@@alters1990 underated since it is uncommon to find night-crawlers, and tarot readers in this world.

[@Clyntonsshed]

Same, sadly can’t say the same about the others 😢

[@mikedewitz7928]

This is one of the best songs that I have ever heard! Do you realize what you did in that studio when it was recorded? It is so haunting and soulful. Pure Sonic Beauty.

[@yvc9]

Isnt it? Im fucking entranced over here. 😍

[@BenderBei]

Я вот послушал , и захотелось воевать !!!! Точка

[@MsHarrietjackson]

The perfect song to listen to in Spring, that start of all things new, the sowing of seeds for the forthcoming years harvest, witch craft sensibility, getting back in touch with our Pagan roots and Mother Earth. The dark sinister uñdertones and symbolism give it the real edge.

[@neonflavoredlights]

i’d argue fall is a better season to correlate it to

[@RabidDays]

AUSTRA = QUEEN OF MUSIC

[@alexbenz370]

lyrics: Habit alone, when separate I moan. Feeding on bones or anything grown. I command post and nobody shows In mornings I rest here, In evenings I work here, My debt isn't spent till the rest of me's left. All I adore... You must be the call The evil at night Speaking words of grace While spellwork delights. Feel my desire, it burns like a fire. Feel my desire, it burns like a fire. I work alone saving my soul If yesterday hurts, tomorrow is worse. Send me a sign, for my body's aligned. I'm ready to waste all my limbs and my face My pores are wide open And bleed for your potion, Spellwork and lies! You must be the call The evil at night Speaking words of grace While spellwork delights. Feel my desire, it burns like a fire. Feel my desire, it burns like a fire. You must be the call The evil at night Speaking words of grace While spellwork delights. Feel my desire, it burns like a fire. Feel my desire, it burns like a fire.

This song sounds exactly like the post-punk new wave synth-pop bands from the first half of the 80's

the video also reminds me a lot of those made in that era for said bands

[@joaoignacio1978]

Paulo Sérgio Pinto Para mim, o vídeo é uma clara alusão ao episódio das bruxas de Salem. Quanto ao som específico desta música, concordo totalmente contigo. É quase um minimal post-punk synth-pop de 1981, 83, 84. É apesar disso, tem algo de muito orgânico, que acho que deve ser por causa da voz ''ancestral'' da Katie Stelmanis e dos background vocals ''esotéricos'' das gêmeas Lightman

[@talktal]

no it doesnt. this is way more produced, and the bass is way heavier than early synth pop.

[@7uc4s]

New synth-pop bands from the post-punk songs exactly as the half of the 80's wave sounds, blegans bounds punks synth pop gungs 80's bands bangs.

[@talktal]

that made no sense whatsoever

[@astrellax11]

She has the voice of a goddess

Слушаю данный трек впервые. Однако отныне, неважно - при случайном/не случайном повторном прослушивании данного трека я буду вспоминать о белой кошечке Вернама.. Покойся с миром, Оливия..

[@insidevoiceshauntme]

Почему ютуб не предоставляет возможность пользователям скрыть желаемый комментарий под видосом НАВСЕГДА чтобы больше НИКОГДА его снова случайно не увидеть !?

[@user-on4dz3ky6j]

ЧТО ЗА ОЛИВИЯ??? 😳😳

[@insidevoiceshauntme]

@@user-on4dz3ky6jОдин ютубер очень любил свою кошку "Оливию". Кошка чем-то там заболела и умерла. Он снял видео про то, как боролся за ее жизнь или вроде того. В конце своего видео он вставил открывок этой песни. И теперь дети пишут соболезнования под воооооообще левым видосом. Я тоже сразу ничего не понял, и малёха пер$рал что что-то страшное произошло с вокалисткой

Thanks Sims 3 for making us all discover this masterpiece

[@lizkarinabordaliberona3749]

i love this, i feel something special with the lyrics and the images, i get it but i cant explain, is impossible put it on words.

[@joaoignacio1978]

The witches of Salem

you have a small vocabulary then

[@lizkarinabordaliberona3749]

and you need talk less and feel more, and a new haircut

This is simple outstanding. Masterpiece.

[@MrMonkeyslick]

if ever you get a chance to see Austra live - do not hesitate...just GO! you will not be dissapointed...

[@danbalanesco]

For all the people here questioning the music video: when your music is shit and says nothing, the producers will compensate with amazing, mind blowing videos. When you aren't mainstream and you lack the funds, you do what you can. And I like Austra for the music not for their videos.

[@Fragenzeichenplatte]

The music video isn't bad anyway. There's some interesting themes. And I'm sure eating the watermelon means cunnilingus.

[@BloodyBay]

@@Fragenzeichenplatte Now I dread to ask what eating the spiky yellow fruits could signify. o_O

[@Fragenzeichenplatte]

@@BloodyBay I'll leave that up to your imagination ;)

[@TopHatSchneider]

SO since that, I did LSD...and it was fucking amazing...just pure happiness for hours...and left with a desire to be better in life...I want to get a life, go to university, be awesome...I usually hate everything, but now want to help people and feel more connected to them...man...still so ahppy...

Umas das musicas mais incríveis e simbólicas que eu já vi.

[@TheIndieMusique]

Because of her ancestry, Austra is most famous person in indie culture who has some relation to tiny Latvian country, where indie is becoming increasingly popular. It is great that she came to play gig there on 31st of Dec 2011.

[@fastestfashion]

Is there any doubt that this was the best song of 2011?

[@nekodelrey7987]

This song just makes me place a curse on anyone. 🖤

[@forrest2320]

absouletly amazing such an incredible sound you guys have true chemistry and magic in your music thank you

[@Mangticore1023]

The lady in black riding the horse radiates power and confidence. rowrr.

[@midobecker1]

People talk about Depeche Mode and Crystal Castle as if they've been ripped off by Austra. Funny shit, this is pure new wave from the 80's.

[@matematicaseconomiayfinanz3294]

My favorite son of all time 🖤, is my Dream to see this band in Mexico some day :D

Einfach schöne Musik und super Video. Es gibt noch Gutes auf der Welt! Kunst die Sinn macht. Und kein Bild was für 2 Millionen Euro bei einer Auktion verkauft wird während Menschen auf der Welt verhungern.

[@crushthyflowerss]

When I listen to this, I think "witch pop".

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

lmao! i don't know if i can take this song seriously anymore

[@crushthyflowerss]

+sleepingsunrise why?

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

+Sofia M because in my mind "witch pop" looks much more silly than this. think along the lines of that Hocus Pocus movie.

[@hexwolfi]

Isn't there actually a genre of music like this called "witchhouse"?

[@crushthyflowerss]

Yeah, there is. But I don't think Austra is considered as "witchhouse"? I don't know, really!

[@MrBIGJ369]

Great song. Fantastic vocals and it has a very gritty 80's synth feel. Awesome. Will pick up the CD.

came from the sims 3 dark wave station! def an otherworldly song 🔮

[@ByTheLightOfABurningDonkey]

"I command post, and nobody shows" I love that so much. Everyone has their own interpretation but for me it channels being the one in the front finally, the leader, the one to make the decisions, and no one shows, cares, sticks to the plans made.
