1) Witch is a psychedelic rock / zamrock band formed in 1971 in Kitwe, Zambia. This five-piece electric band plays a strong electric African underground style. Tons of wah wah-fuzz guitar in every track, African style beats and vocals and all original songs.
2) Witch is a group born in 2005 from a marriage of apparently contradictory influences. J Mascis, renown as the vocalist, songwriter and guitarist of Dinosaur Jr. (and Heavy Blanket, Upsidedown Cross) and his long time friend Dave Sweetapple (Sweet Apple, Cobra Verde) were interested in forming a hard rock band. They found willing and able conspirators in Kyle Thomas (King Tuff) and Asa Irons, both also members of New England avant-folk outfit Feathers. This line-up mounts a mighty sonic tumult that harkens back to classic heavy metal sound of early 1970s outfits while still sounding modern in it's assault (and without falling into the ubiquitous "Stoner Rock" pigeonhole). Instead of clinging to his forte, the electric guitar, J Mascis instead plays his first instrument, the drums. Witch's trademark sound (particularly in their early work) shows obvious Black Sabbath influence and moments of Black Flag has also been noted for their sophomore effort, Paralyzed.
3) Witch is a duo formed in 1980 by S. Joplin Babashoff and The Bird (later joined by guitarist Gloonis Botnik to create a trio). Over the past 26 years, Witch has recorded and released over 15 albums.
4) Witch was an American heavy metal band formed in 1983 in Los Angeles, CA. They released the cult classic EP "The Hex Is On" in 1984. Members included Punky Peru (drums, vocals), Ronny Too (guitar, vocals), Peter Wabitt (lead vocals) and Jim Warmon (bass, vocals).
5) Witch is a Japanese female singer / songwriter. Circle: Sound CYCLONE.

Witch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
just a sad man
I had no future no
until one day
Yeah I met a man
I took his hand
He was an old man
and he had a long beard
blinded eyes beheld me
he took one look
in his crystal ball
he saw it all
He said boy what I saw
was a strange sight
I did not recognize
for you are I
and I am you
and we are both fools
The song Seer by Witch is a hauntingly beautiful piece that speaks to the idea of self-discovery and the mysticism that surrounds it. The lyrics speak of a man who is broken, without hope or future, until he meets an old man who takes him under his wing. This relationship becomes the catalyst for the man's life-changing journey. The imagery is rich and vivid, describing the old man's hair and long beard, as well as his blinded eyes that saw more than anyone else could.
The old man takes the singer to a place of mystical power, where the crystal ball reveals to him a strange sight, something he couldn't recognize at first. It's a moment of deep spiritual revelation, as the old man tells him that they are one and the same, both fools who have been searching for meaning and purpose in their lives. The message of the song is one of finding oneself through an internal journey of self-discovery, through a connection with something greater than oneself.

I was always just a man
I have always been an ordinary person
just a sad man
who has always been unhappy
I had no future no
with no hope for the future
until one day
until a fateful day
Yeah I met a man
when I met an individual
I took his hand
I shook hands with him
He was an old man
who was an elderly person
his hair was white
with white hair
and he had a long beard
sporting a lengthy beard
blinded eyes beheld me
his eyes could not see, but he focused on me
he took one look
he glared at me once
in his crystal ball
and then, gazed at his crystal ball
he saw it all
he foresaw everything
He said boy what I saw
He then spoke, 'Boy, what I saw was'
was a strange sight
a bizarre vision
I did not recognize
which I failed to comprehend
for you are I
because you and I are the same
and I am you
you and I share the same identity
and we are both fools
and we are both foolish
