Liner Notes
Why This Song First
Every child who grew up in the nineties heard it once and never quite forgot it: a sweet, terrible song that called children away from their beds and into the woods. It was always meant to be the first. A lullaby that is really a lure is the most honest thing a masked singer can offer — come closer, there is nothing to fear, do not look behind the mask.
The arrangement began as a single guitar part played in an empty church at three in the morning. The reverb you hear is the room. The choir is one voice, sung forty times. When the distortion arrives in the final minute, it is the sound of the spell breaking — or taking hold.
“I didn’t want to cover it. I wanted to haunt it.”— Briarghast
