I’ve had those stunning first encounters with people that captured my imaginary heart. The kind where I’ve put blinders on because I want so badly for the person to be who I want them to be. But enough of those experiences have me in the same place as THE BEDROOM WITCH on her new video for the single “Wait a Week.” This sparkling, slow, synth-pop track embodies that longing, the empty space in our minds that we fill with fantasies, and the eerie emotions that creep around in the back of our minds. It’s off her record A Place of Hurt out via Psychic Eye and Ratskin Records — get it here. Right now, sink into the sultry synthwave sounds of THE BEDROOM WITCH “Wait a Week”…
“Wait a Week” is about romanticizing pain and having grace for emotionally unavailable lovers. As much as you might know better, you end up bargaining with time itself to extend your delusions. But it’s also about finally learning your lessons, and admitting when the window for love has run out of time. For me, once I don’t care, I don’t care.
