The Wizard

To go along with sparrowonthewing, I watched an interview where Natasha sort of explained that it's about the sort of sexual tension and desire between two people and how the wizard is the force that comes and spurs (would-be) lovers into action. I really love the way she ran with that idea, the imagery is so beautiful... I like the sort of ritualistic idea of drinking his blood, becoming a follower of desire. Natasha's head must be such an interesting place, no? :]

honestly, when i listen to the words of this song, and considering how bfl writes, i get the feeling this song is actually about a tribe, or group, where a "wizard" almost sort of takes control of the group. the first few lines of the song sound extremely sexual, and it seems to me that the wizard sort of takes advantage of the women, but they don't really fight back because "he will be our leader."

it really just reminds me of jungle tribes, where this does happen a lot. older men in the group, usually the "mystics" have multiple sexual relations with a lot of the younger women in the tribe, but they're allowed to do so because the mystic claims that he'll be able to predict their futures or that sleeping with him will mean they will have a prosperous life.

that's just what i get out of the song.

I love how her lyrics are always so imaginative, it's like she just writes down her dreams and fantasies.

I can just imagine living in a forest when i listen to this song, i completely agree with 'keereerar's comment.

I think this song is about orgasming. It is her way of describing the way that an orgasm and sexual pleasure enters the nighttime activities of the lovers like a spirit being summoned. It's talking about the way that the lovers offer themselve into the control of this personification of sexual pleasure and their own desires are blended into his final aim of feeling them "shake and shooting"

I love the way that she interprets real experiences in sexuality and in relationships in a way that makes them mystical and beautiful.

i really really like this song! it's so haunting. and pretty. it floats and dances and makes you feel all magical. what i got from it was just magic and electricity, something with power that's hidden behind that sweet voice. i was quite freaked out by the "drink his blood and he's our leader" part, and um im still confused by it. one angle i got was that, there's this girl in trouble, she's fighting and being beaten, so she calls for help and a wizard comes and saves her. but. because of this she has to um...become a follower or something? swear allegiance haha? some ritual like drinking his blood. then she's let inside his head or world of magic, and it's filled with songs and slow arrows and burning and they become connected and fight together.

hum. i dont like putting a set story or set of events in an ambiguous song, this is just a fancy of mine. but. i definitely dont like connecting it to harry potter, all i have to do is imagine daniel radclyffe and cringe...

this song is beautiful, heartbreaking, sexy

this song is beautiful, heartbreaking, sexy

im not sure what the song means but i really like it

Natasha's voice is unbelievably good in this song.

replying to spacecadetto, I think that this song is so beautifully put. The way she portrays desire as a physical being just makes the song so much more amazing.

and after reading spacecadetto's comment, the song just totally comes into place.

idk what else to say, the song is awesome. i muchly appreciate her amazing writing ability.
