Anatomy of a song: How The Witcher earworm 'Toss a Coin to Your Witcher' was made
"Toss a coin to your Witcher! Oh valley of plenty, oh valley of plenty, ohhhh. Toss a coin to your Witcher, a friend of humanity!"fans: for months, those lyrics have been impossible to get out of your head . The Netflix series in December and there was a lot to unpack from the timeline-hopping, fantasy epic.'s grunts! Those meticulously choreographed action sequences! But really, all anyone can talk about is "Toss a Coin to Your Witcher.
Once it was decided Jaskier would sing this all-important song, it was time for inexperienced lyrics writer Klein to do just that. "I was not nervous. I was excited," she says with another laugh. "I enjoy writing in any form. I originally wanted to be a poet and lyrics are a form of poetry that become shaped musically. I knew it was a challenge and I was up for the challenge.
And there's one lyric that Klein is actually shocked made it into the final version of the song. "There’s a very silly pun in there, 'Cried the Witcher, he can’t be bleat,' referring to the goat man that they fight in the episode," she says. "I continue to be surprised that people got the joke and don’t hate me for it. It’s a song about an underpaid outsider and I feel like we can all bond over that and want to sing about it.
"We were obsessed while making it," Ostinelli adds. "We wrote many versions but as soon as we wrote this one it was stuck in our heads. We were really hoping for them to choose this one and they did."Once there was a clear choice, the duo got to work on the "lengthy process, about seven to eight months" of creating the sound for the song, according to Belousova. "We experimented a lot throughout this process," she adds.
That's why seeing all the fan covers of "Toss a Coin to Your Witcher" online has delighted Belousova and Ostinelli so much over the past few months. "We had so much fun creating other covers ourselves so seeing all the fans creating fantastic covers ranging from rock to folk choirs is so much fun," Ostinelli says. "They’re embracing the same fun we had in making it.
