#HP 43: Witch Fever on Christianity, misogyny, religious trauma, and making of “The Garden”

Dela

In this episode of The Hardest Part, Witch Fever break down the songwriting process and music production process behind “The Garden,” a song shaped by religious trauma, feminist rebellion, and the emotional tension of leaving the church behind. We talk about how the band nearly abandoned the song after feeling the chorus sounded “too Jesus-y,” triggering memories of Christian worship music and charismatic church environments.

The band explains how growing up in a strict religious setting influenced the lyrics, which reinterpret the story of Eve as something empowering rather than shameful. We also chat about collaborative songwriting, instinctive vocal melody writing, and how producer Chris Ryan helped the band hear the full potential of the track during the recording process. LIsten to the full episode and hear the song at the end.
