Artist commentary:

Witch's Cadence: (booklet commentary)

This was the 3^nd earliest song I made for the album that still actually made it on. I even almost cut this one. I really wanted to swap out the soundfont guitars for a real accoustic but I can’t do finger style. . . Oh well. This song is about the intermission jack. Hence the title, “Nomad of Nothing” (alliteration baby!!). The song starts with what I imagine is jack taking a deep breath before playing this tune on a guitar while whistling along. Of course “Ballad of Jack Noir” makes an appearance again, (I’m telling you I simply cannot resist). But also because I feel that a ballad is fit for a wanderer. I really like the sort of call and response between the two whistles. Of course the song ends with a little reprise of the midnight crew motif. I tried adding a lead guitar part to this song but decided to cut it as it was just making the whole thing messier than it needed to be. Overall, a decent song I think.
