I can not consider that that rattling track from the Netflix Witcher sequence solely took 10 minutes to put in writing. When Toss A Coin To Your Witcher was thrust upon us by Jaskier simply earlier than Christmas, I used to be not ready for the way catchy the rattling factor could be. And neither had been the Netflix present’s creators, apparently, as the thought for the track got here to co-executive producer Jenny Klein whereas she was serious about Geralt within the automotive.
“I was in my car and I was just feeling bad for Geralt not getting paid and that’s when I started to sing to myself, ‘Toss a coin to your Witcher.’ I pulled over and fumbled with my voice memo to record the lines and then I rushed home instead of going to the errand I was supposed to be running,” she instructed Entertainment Weekly.
“And I just wrote out the lyrics in like 10 minutes. It just spurted out. It was really fun. I knew I was going to be doing it but the times when I sat down like, okay, I’ve got to write this, of course it comes when you least expect it.”
Obviously, creating your entire factor wasn’t fairly so simple as a fast 10 minute writing session. The track was written again in 2018, and ended up with a number of completely different variations: from the traditionally correct tune we hear from Jaskier, to extra trendy rocky variations, and we have now composers Sonya Belousova and Giona Ostinelli to thank for placing all of them collectively.
Toss A Coin To Your Witcher actually has accomplished the rounds at this level. It’s been modded into The Witcher 1, Matt performed at unsuspecting gamers in Mordhau via a lute, and I even messed round to get it working on the Overwatch piano in a customized deathmatch.
No one had a clue that the track they’d made would turn out to be such a success, and Klein was over the moon when she was first despatched a video of followers singing alongside to it.
“All these people from all over the world were singing the song. They had made a video where they were all singing it separately but it became tiled so that all their voices were singing together and it totally blew me away,” she stated.
The Witcher sequence is on the market to observe on Netflix proper now, and it’s been confirmed that the second season is likely on the way next year. I’m wondering if Jaskier could have extra meme-able tunes to play us in that one.
