Sarah Sanderson, eat your heart out!!!! Beautiful, lyrical, enchanting. You'd steal adults as well as the children with this rendition ❤👏

Hauntingly beautiful, you definitely did the song justice. And the illumination art is perfect.

[@rejoyce318]

Re the art - especially Kathy Nijimy - the expression is perfect!

[@SFforlife]

Not sure if this would be the voice of a witch or an angel… truly bewitching and beautiful.

[@talosheeg]

Just as beautiful as ever, my fair lady. I thank thee for blessing mine ears.

Have literally been waiting years for someone to do a serious interpretation of the song in this style. As enchanting as hoped.

[@monotropa_uniflora]

Oh my god, the combination I always wanted but never thought of!

[@guntotingmonk]

One, I love this rendition. Two, I was actually able to use it in a D&D campaign. Our party was trying to really creep out the people in our caravan, and my bard sang this particular rendition of this song. It was especially fun because my bard plays the dulcimer, and unless I'm much mistaken that's the main instrument in the backing track in this piece. 😁

[@Hildegardvonblingin]

Yes it is! That’s incredible, I love to hear how these songs get used. :)

[@SoutaCherry]

“No man, woman, or child, even those with the greatest will power, could defy the enchantress’s voice. Only yield as she whisked them away, disappearing into an abyss taken in the form of trees.”

[@droidgeist]

Have you ever done any official soundtracks? You are so freaking talented - I find it baffling that movies and video games aren't banging down your door to perform for them.

[@Hildegardvonblingin]

Thank you! I did get to work on a few projects this past year. A song for a game called Inkulinati, and the soundtrack for an audio book by Whitney Avalon. :)

I came here to listen to a new song. Now my guard is down and I’m very curious about this garden of magic. Surely a voice this pure cannot betray…. Into the garden, y’all!

[@yvonneburns2786]

Garden of magic is death's realm, she's telling the kiddos she's going to kill them..

[@lurategh]

You have no idea how hyped I was to see this. I've always thought the original was legitimately haunting and eerie with its guise of innocence while actually being sinister. As always, you did it such justice!

[@DiegoAlvarezBeltran1993.]

That little lilt to those certain notes is just hypnotic, its just so... I can't describe it but it's just... So enchanting. 😊

[@Schacal6666]

I thought of Erutan. One of her best covers

[@BonaparteBardithion]

I've heard at least one other cover that definitely took stylistic inspiration from hers. Easily one of the best versions in general.

[@jasonweldon7059]

Wow. Now I finally understand what made the children follow her unto death. She was offering them release.

[@whitestar7641]

I remember first hearing this full song on a rainy October day 4 years ago as I was waiting for one of my classes to begin. This song has, ever since, been one of my favourites to listen to on a cool autumn day. I especially like the full version as it paints the witch in a different light, where we got the evil, soul stealing version in Hocus Pocus; in this full version she sounds more like a Mother Witch. She genuinely cares about the children and what they are suffering, trying to comfort them but not excusing how bad life can be, just saying “for life must be this way”, helping the children by saying sometimes bad things have to happen. The witch in the full version is such a stark change from the Sanderson Sisters, and I truly love it. You did this song justice and truly made it an enchanting version to listen to.

[@BonaparteBardithion]

The lyrics do still entreat the children to come with the singer. In that way it's similar to Yeats' "The Stolen Child". Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild With a faery, hand in hand, For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.

[@janetwebb2701]

Absolutely how I imagined it should be . Haunting and beautiful.

[@KarlaMB]

[@IllyMooncat]

As a mother, this brought tears to my eyes. Hauntingly beautiful. Invokes so many feelings (many of them spooky). Well done as ever, m’lady!

[@rafaeldeoliveiracruz7895]

[@BrandonsYouTube]

If... Or when... they remake the original Hocus Pocus, you have my vote to play Sarah. Brilliant. 10/10 would have followed that voice as a child to my death lol

[@rachelw1076]

It would make a great stage musical!

[@peabody66]

Whoever they choose to play Sarah not only needs to have singing chops, they must also have the acting chops too in oder to pull off Sarah's dim-whitted personally.

[@LadyPapaMayodora]

That was actually bone chilling . I could actually see children walking into their doom to this music

[@Tryunderstandingsarcasm]

This song resonated something to me - it took me all day and a few listens to place it - this is much like the song in Anastacia, "Once Upon a December" Love both songs!

[@Shifterwizard]

If you sang this song in the middle ages, they'd accuse you of selling your soul to the Devil for such an enchanting singing voice. That or you'd successfully lure countless children to their doom. Or both. Probably both.

[@m.jewell9107]

After listening to this a few times, I had to go re-watch the movie. The movie version was so short and hard to hear! THIS version is much more satisfying!!

[@Ansixilus]

Not only did you do an (as always) excellently ephemeral job of making beautiful music, but you restored the original lyrics! I've always been incensed that most covers say "garden of shadows", especially those who come from witchy-type artists.

[@johngleeman8347]

I always liked to substitute "magic" with "madness" myself. Great cover!

[@Silverritter]

Truely beautiful!

[@RinaOvcharenko]

Now, imagine this song from a POV of a peasant mother who can't feed all of her children through the cold winter, because the harvest was bad this year, and she has to lure some of them into the forest to leave them to die...
