Witch's Cadence: (booklet commentary)

When I first asked Nights if I could do a solo album, she told me that it sounded like a good idea, but that I should probably think of a theme for the whole album. (:0 I didn’t think about that...) So, then I had to come up with a theme! (Obviously...)

This song started sometime after that, I had been pacing around a lot trying to think of a theme for what my album would be, until at some point something struck me and I had the urge to make a song for Zachery Lumen, considering he seemed like a very intriguing character, but he has little to no music for him! (None at all at the time of making this track I’m pretty sure) When I started off, I had “Here We Are” from Undertale and Ray Mikey’s “Hallowed Halls” from Volume Five stuck in my head, so I wanted to make a very groovy and kind of mysteriously villainous theme (This is why it has those 8-bit noise percussion, haha).

I think I also had another song on my mind, but I can’t remember for the life of me what it was... Oh well. Over time while working on this, I realized that it might be more interesting to make it more of a song for the general theme of “actions done backed by questionable morals”, and then BAM, it hit me, my album’s theme should just be that! I decided to use the main motif from this as a main theme throughout as many of the tracks as I could (though I kind of ended up forgetting about it a lot, and it only ended up in four other tracks. Whoopsies...)
