about

Serene: "Tracks like this were the kind of collaborations I was aiming for when I started the Phantom Groups, going back and forth, adding things along the way in late 2016. I didn't post it till the following June. I loved Field Tripp, included them on our first Onus comp, and was really glad when he sent this track that wasn't working for him and let me window dress it. I didn't add any words beyond 'What do we know of the ways of magic? What business have we in the ways of magic? " and the melody is just what Dan wrote. I think I added the vocals and bass as well as a few minor chords over the bridge. I wanted this to sound like a weird acid-filed summer night. As part of The Discretions saga, this is where Hymie. Jay, Fred and Calvin lost all sense."

lyrics

Ancient Magic
written By Dan Tripp

Long time ago, before we came here, ancient kings was hanging out
Conjuring things in hidden caves that smell like magic
So long ago, waiting for signs in the southern skies at night
We had a good time interpreting dreams
Coz everyone's king and love is light

But I can't help wondering how I'm gonna quit my day job

Turn the light on! This is getting out of our hands!
Turn the light on! This is getting out of our hands!

So are we right and can we change our ordinary lives, we're finding out
We'll live like kings in ancient caves that smell like magic

What do we know of the ways of magic?
What business have we in the ways of magic?

Turn the light on! This is getting out of our hands!
Turn the light on! This is getting out of our hands!
