Konstantin has assembled his strongest pieces of three years of work on one album: here they shine with the melancholy and the gloom of those, who have gained peace and hope as they have left the eternal dance around a golden calf named progress: Take this hand now / there is no time to waste / the first gets the land / where we need to build our home / Quiet people build the hardest gold. .
The art of Konstantin concentrates in his ability to elude classification, to forge Get Well Soon anew with every single song. Glinting through are memories of sad ballads of Leonard Cohen; broken groans of Tom Waits; the laissez faire of the lost of Nick Cave, and the weightlessness of Thom Yorke.
On stage, Get Well Soon develops into an even more intensive experience: up to eight musicians are playing (guitar, bass, drums, piano, trumpets, banjo, violin..) and the intimacy of the album gains a terrific momentum.Those who come to a concert with heavy hearts and oppressed souls, go home with regained strength and confidence. It is as if another house has fallen onto the bad Witch of the East: Wake up, sleepy head! All your fear has left! Konstantin's music has seen a lot of life, his songs are young but wise - carried along by generations, to finally arrive in the eye of the storm: It's not a secret that I'm king without a land / I'm a captain without sea / So let me pretend / To find my home again. All we've got is ourselves - and one another. We're home. Get Well Soon
Witches! Witches! Rest Now In The Fire
Get Well Soon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because of your magic spell
It may seem hard, but it's just fair enough
Cos Satan's your best friend
No need to run no more
The Inquisition's at your door
It may seem hard, but it's just fair enough
You danced naked around the fire
The mob has brought you here
The mob has brought you here
They want your soul
The song "Witches! Witches! Rest Now In The Fire" by Get Well Soon is a lamentation of the time period during which witches were prosecuted and burnt alive in the medieval era. The song uses vivid and poetic lyrics, which have a strong element of dark humor, to describe the unfairness and cruelty of the persecution of witches. The first verse talks about how witches are hated for their magical powers and people want them to suffer in hell. The second verse talks about how the devil is a friend of the witches, so accusing them of being under his influence is pointless. The bridge section is dedicated to the Inquisition, the organization responsible for the witch hunts, which has now caught the witch and is knocking on her door. The chorus is repeated twice, and it describes how the people blame the witches and want them to pay with their souls for their sins. Overall the song speaks of the deep-seated fear and extreme prejudice that characterized the way witches were treated in medieval times.

They wish to punish you severely for practicing magic
Because of your magic spell
Due to the use of your magical abilities
It may seem hard, but it's just fair enough
The consequences are appropriate, though they may appear harsh
Cos Satan's your best friend
Your alignment with evil has led to this outcome

the video is great, the song is simply outstanding. Usually I dislike strings arrangements, but this is nothing less than perfect.

This reminds me so much of Qotsa's Burn the Witch. I really like both! Lullabies to Paralyze is the best album ever!

First time I heard this song was in "Hobo With A Shotgun"...and it keeps getting better with every listen and new version I find. The original piece is by Michael Holm from "Mark of the Devil".

Bellissima canzone! La parte cantata ha un che dei primi radiohead, mentre l'orchestrazione è molto alla baustelle... Davvero bella!
