Haunting yet hopeful, together Dean and Bradley create luring melodies and lyrics that touch on the universal and the fleeting; those shared experiences that while they’re happening might seem trivial, but go on to become waypoints in the memory of a life well lived. It might be the sudden realization that, when it comes to love, forever isn't all that long. We’re are all on the same ride to the undeniable end, yet with someone by our side we just might be able to go gently into that good night.
Sonically, they approach each song as if writing for the screen. A swirl of melodies and harmonies bring you along on their journey, the sounds they craft at once giving rise to a myriad of mental imagery
Under Your Spell
The Sweeplings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trade your light in for the dark, give me your heart
Just a little taste, it'll have me swept away
Follow you into the cold, just let go
Taking me over, and into the dark
Got me under your spell, under your spell
Taking me over, and into the dark
Never have I felt so strange,
don't worry darlin' that will fade
Somethings got a hold on me,
let it be
Taking me over, and into the dark
Got me under your spell, under your spell
Taking me over, and into the dark
Got me under your spell, under your spell
Spinning in a daze, looking for where I fell
I've been hiding things, secrets I cannot tell
Losing myself
Taking me over, and into the dark
Got me under your spell, under your spell
Taking me under (Close your eyes little darlin')
And into the dark (Keep your lips sealed tight)
Got me under your spell, under your spell
(Close your eyes little darlin')
Taking me under (Close your eyes little darlin')
And into the dark (Keep your lips sealed tight)
Got me under your spell, under your spell
The Sweeplings' song "Under Your Spell" portrays a person who has fallen deeply in love with someone who has a darker side, and how it seems like magic that's impossible to resist. The lyrics are poetic and suggestive, emphasizing on the surrender of oneself to the beloved. The first verse suggests that the singer wants to experience the power and the thrill of the darkness the beloved possesses, by giving up their own light and giving away their heart. The second verse tries to reassure the singer that it’s not wrong to feel strange, and that the hold that the beloved has on them is a good thing. The chorus emphasizes how the singer is transfixed by the beloved's charm, equally excited and scared in the dark. The final verse implies that there are secrets they both keep, but the singer is willing to lose themselves in the experience, no matter the cost.
The song overall portrays an intense and captivating feeling of being "under someone's spell," and the lyrics and tone are reminiscent of a love that can be dangerous and intense, with the singer giving themselves up to the darker side of love. The music style suggests a weightless, dreamlike reality that fits perfectly with the subject matter. It's a beautifully composed song that can easily be interpreted to match many different relationships, experiences, or emotions.

Come with me my dear, let me show you how it feels
Join me in trying something new, and I will give you an experience you've never felt before
Trade your light in for the dark, give me your heart
Let go of your inhibitions and let me into the deepest parts of your soul
Just a little taste, it'll have me swept away
Even the slightest hint of you overwhelms my senses and pulls me in
Follow you into the cold, just let go
I am willing to follow you anywhere, even into dark and uncomfortable places, if you allow me to
Taking me over, and into the dark
You have complete control over my emotions, and I am willing to go wherever you lead me
Got me under your spell, under your spell
You have me completely enchanted and unable to resist your influence
Never have I felt so strange, don't worry darlin' that will fade
Your hold over me is unfamiliar, but I am willing to surrender to it and know that it will eventually become familiar
Somethings got a hold on me, let it be
There is a force that has taken hold of me, but I am willing to let it be and see where it leads
Spinning in a daze, looking for where I fell
My head is spinning and I feel disoriented, trying to make sense of how I fell under your spell
I've been hiding things, secrets I cannot tell
There are aspects of myself that I have kept hidden, secrets that I cannot reveal even to you
Losing myself
My identity and sense of self are getting lost as I become more and more wrapped up in your spell
Taking me under (Close your eyes little darlin')
You are pulling me further under your spell, and I do not resist
And into the dark (Keep your lips sealed tight)
You are leading me into the unknown, and I trust you enough to keep any doubts to myself
Got me under your spell, under your spell
You have me completely under your control and there is nothing I can do to resist
