This is a very candid A cappella voices snippet of Agatha's All Along Coven song. his is just a short version of one of the verses just using A Capella voices and a Tibetan bowl. It as filmed this October so a pretty recent recording of myself. Just for fun! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/IsW-8NKnEl8

Lyrics

Down, Down, Down the Road
Down the Witches' Road
Down, Down, Down the Road
Down the Witches' Road
Circle sewn with fate
Unlock thy hidden gate

"The Ballad of the Witches' Road" is a song featured in the Disney+ series Agatha All Along which was released in 2024 and it is a spin off Wanda Vision series which premiered back in 2021. Just like Agatha All Along main theme back then, this new song is such an ear worm and has gone viral. I could not help myself to do a little snippet this Autumn. Written by Oscar-winning songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez the song is featured many times all through the miniseries, each time with a new style or vibe and unlocking clues for the miniseries plot as it progresses.

Agatha Harkness is a complex character in both Marvel Comics and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) that Morally grey she is a powerful witch sorceress and she made her first appearance in the comics back in 1970. But her recent portrayal by actress Kathryn Hahn in both Wanda Vision shows a manipulative villain that is somehow relatable and fun and has become a fan favorite for many. Now I am not that great fan of Marvel MCU and comics but I like witchy things and imagery, and I enjoy the old school "practical effects" approach and pagan tone :) In fact in the series, and also in the song, the archetype of the triple goddess: Maiden, Mother and Crone is mentioned, which represents the 3 stages of a woman's life.

Though (no spoilers) the Witches Road is not what we expect at the end of the series. In fact I corded my own snippet before that ending was disclosed'. So just made my cover for fun and to show you Autumn (which is now fading away into winter) in my corner of the world.

That was a fun show and a bit different to the usual Marvel stuff. It got pretty dark as it went on. The music was fun and you are the perfect person to perform it.

Well, I like the song even without the context of the series because as you know I love folklore and witchy imagery and it is just an earworm. I am trying to rekindle my Spotify now and so working behind the scenes remastering and finishinf official songs but as that takes time and I am still dealing with limited energy,I want to do more imperfect candid fun things

as always, very pretty! i love these a capella versions

I am trying to list all my own songs on Spotify right now, and finish many new ones, nut as that takes time I want to do uncomplicated things. This is my place some weeks ago

I love this show, and you covered the song really nicely! I had completely forgotten about this song, but now it's back in my head, so I'll be singing it until the evening! 😂
