Voodoo by LVCRFT

“Voodoo” is LVCRFT’s swampy, horn-driven love spell of a song from the 2019 debut album This Is Halloween Volume 1. It’s about falling under someone’s voodoo and knowing there’s no remedy that can save you.

Listen on Apple Music or Spotify.

What it sounds like

A midtempo 86 BPM song that pulls from rhythm and blues, rock and roll, shock rock and dark cabaret, with horns, synth, bass, drums and percussion under a male lead vocal from DejaVudu. Bright and playful, with a call-and-response “voodoo” hook that keeps coming back.

What it’s about

Being hexed by love. The spell was cast the moment they met, and now the devil has the singer saying things they don’t want to say and doing things they don’t want to do. They sold their soul for a lock of gold under a bad sign, and the voodoo has them chained down to the bones.

Voodoo lyrics

You knew I’d fall for your Voodoo
All in my mind ‘cause that’s just what you do
You got that black magic
Right at your fingertips
I don’t know what it is
But you got me acting crazy
Oh once that spell was cast
I never stood a chance
I know I got it bad
Ain’t no remedy that’s gonna save me

Oh oh the devil got me saying things I don’t wanna say
The devil got me doing things I don’t wanna do
I’m trying make it make sense but I can’t escape
Cause I know that devil is you baby

You knew I’d fall for your Voodoo
All in my mind ’cause that’s just what you do
Putting words in my mouth
And I never meant to
But somehow I did, now I’m like this
must be your Voodoo

I sold my soul
For a lock of gold
Under a bad sign
Riding On a dusty road
I wish I’d known
Down in my bones
That your voodoo
Chained me and won’t let me go

Oh oh the devil got me saying things I don’t wanna say
The devil got me doing things I don’t wanna do
I’m trying make it make sense but I can’t escape
Cause I know that devil is you baby

You knew I’d fall for you Voodoo
All in my mind ’cause that’s just what you do
Putting words in my mouth
And I never meant to
But somehow I did, now I’m like this
must be your Voodoo

(voodoo)
Darling must be your Voodoo
(voodoo)
Girl it must be your Voodoo
(voodoo)
Girl it must be your Voodoo
(voodoo)
Girl it must be your Voodoo
(voodoo)

Oh lord don’t let me down
Cause this Voodoo oh it won’t let me out
Oh oh it got a hold on me hold on me won’t let go
Yes it got a hold on me hold on me won’t let go
This Voodoo this voodoo is down in my soul
