Add THIS Song From The Witcher to Your Breakup Playlist

Every series has some trademark that it develops over the years. For example,
Game of Thrones has one of the best CGI. Similarly, The Witcher also developed a
trademark in just two seasons, i.e., Jaskier’s songs. From memes
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-check-these-best-hand-picked-the-witcher-memes-flooding-the-internet-after-the-new-season/]
to your playlist, Jaskier’s songs are trending everywhere.

Jaskier (Joey Batey) is a bard, so people expect songs from him, but Joey
surpassed our expectations in season one. Of course, back then, it was the Toss
A Coin To Your Witcher that hooked us. But, today we discuss a very special song
that you might relate to if you ever had a breakup.


BURN BUTCHER BURN – BREAKUP SONG OF THE YEAR

Geralt
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-i-wanted-to-know-more-about-geralt-says-henry-cavill-on-his-intrigue-about-the-character-in-the-witcher/]
is the subject of Jaskier’s song, who felt betrayed by the witcher. When the two
parted ways at the end of season one, things ended on a bitter note. Mostly
because Geralt irrationally blamed Jaskier for all his troubles and wished for
the bard to leave his side. Like every composer, Jaskier also fuelled his rage
into a song.



Jaskier doesn’t hold back in this song when he attacks Geralt where it hurts the
most. Geralt got the nickname, ‘Butcher of Blaviken’ when he tried to solve a
conflict in Blaviken but ended up killing Renfri and her mercenaries. Geralt had
to leave the town with a stain, not of blood but pride.

DOES JASKIER ACTUALLY SING THE WITCHER SONG?

Joseph Trapanese is the composer for the second season of The Witcher
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher/]. But Joey sings the song, which
gives it an authentic vibe. Joey doesn’t just lip-sync, he put in the extra
effort by working on the songs with Joseph.

In an interview, when speaking about the song Joey said
[https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a38567772/the-witcher-joey-batey-jaskier-new-song-season-2/],

“I wanted to bring in something that was characterful, and was perhaps
emotionally impactful, and that was driving some more of this narrative and the
characterization of the characters.”


WHY IS THE WITCHER SONG SO CATCHY?

Season one’s hit can be credited to the fusion of the pop and folk genres.
However, in season two, it was a conscious effort by Joseph and Joey to make the
songs a little less pop. Different instruments and relatable lyrics might have
done the work this time. Whatever it is, fans should hope that the same magic
continues for the upcoming seasons
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-when-will-season-3-of-the-witcher-come-out-netflix-release-date-cast-synopsis-and-more/].

Even though Jaskier and Geralt were not a couple, they had their moments. ‘Burn
Butcher Burn’ beautifully describes their relationship, and if it reminds you of
someone, you can add it to your playlist.
