Lyrics:
Languid rain am I
The skies refuse to cry
Cremation taketh its piece of thy supply
The night is dressed like noon
A sailor spoke too soon
I had rather be a dog and bay the moon
Aurochs number few
My thyme is choked with rue
A secret garden that I never knew
My shield doth weigh a ton
The archer is on the run
No man can stand alone behind the sun
It has been so long since I found a friend
Waiting for another black summer to end
It has been so long and one cannot know when
Waiting for another black summer to end
Crack the flaming whip
Sailing on a sinking ship
Riding on a headless horse to make the trip
It has been so long since I found a friend
Waiting for another black summer to end
It has been so long and one cannot know when
Waiting for another black summer to end
I’ve been waiting, waiting
Waiting for another black summer to end
Waiting, I’ve been waiting
Waiting for another black summer to end
Waiting, waiting
Waiting for another black summer to end

"I'd rather be a dog and bay the moon" is a great replaced line.

[@blazeelvirafirehoof7844]

@@nlald I was at home, consuming pottage of mutton and cabbage when I heard the black summer dropp'd, I bowed my head and praised the lord for such a blessing.

[@josiahzabel8596]

Bad idea - the song is ABOUT wildfires

[@MemoristCed]

So beautiful, and the lyrics well chosen. "My thyme is choked with rue" hits extra-hard if you're only listening.

[@ruthfeiertag]

That was s stand-out line for me, too. If Ib were the embroidering type, I ‘d make s pillow out of it.

[@annalisasteinnes]

"Waiting for another black summer to end" would be especially relatable during the plague.

[@TheKrispyfort]

"Black Summer" strikes differently upon Australian ears with eyes that have beheld flames invading the land

[@Hildegardvonblingin]

Absolutely. And honestly smoke every summer has become a regular sight where I live too now. I hope we all have a safe fire season. 🙏

I believe this whole song was inspired by the California wildfires a few years back.

I like how esoteric RHCP are, that half of the lyrics didn't need to be transcribed 😂

Love the Red Hot Chilli Pepper plant in the artwork 😅

[@Hildegardvonblingin]

Thank you for noticing 🌶

[@kinpandun2464]

​@@Hildegardvonblingin- So sly! I didn't notice until they pointed it out! Is the artwork Hungarian? As they are known for their peppers, it wpuld be quite droll.

My only complaint is we don't get songs more often. But the wait is ALWAYS worth it!

[@Lurklen]

As my sky is choked with darkest smoke, and bitter ash it coats my throat, and flames dance wild and heedless, leaving trees defiled and seedless, I endure my Black Summer finding succor through her mummer, and submitting to romance in the hope I might perchance escape the funeral bells I hear ringin', as I flee the sere of my face stingin' lead back into the past by the soulful singin' Of our blessed Saint Hildegard von Blingin'. Thanks for the wonderful music, from smoky BC.

brilliant as always "my thyme is choked with rue, a secret garden, that i never knew" so many interpretations. always a pleasure to see a new work

[@pattheplanter]

That is a very convincing mediæval-style drawing of a chili plant. I was trying to work out what other plant it could be that looked so like a chili but was from before the introduction of plants from the Americas for an embarrassingly long time before it clicked about the band.

[@ljdasilva3139]

I haven’t heard the original, but this was amazing!

[@Lance_Drake]

New Von Blingin' Song, AND it's a cover of a song from my favorite band? Never have I clicked a video so fast.

[@terrifyingai]

we can assume this was penned in the late 15th century, when chili peppers start to appear in Spanish written records. the term "Black Summer" may refer to the intensification of cold summers in northern Europe that occured between ~1430 to 1455 - decades before the introduction of chili peppers, but something that may have lingered in cultural memory.

[@akamesama]

Sounds like the song is referring to the black plague

[@DGordillo123]

Absolutely incredible adaptation of the lyrics, my favourite change is the aurochs for platypus, not only because obviously Australia was unknown to medieval Europeans but also because the aurochs disappeared from central Europe by the XII century until they finally and sadly went extinct in Eastern Europe the XVII century, so by the time of the song they would have certainly "number few"! I'm absolutely fascinated with the attention to detail! Also, more RHCP would be incredible! Desecration Smile is the one that first comes to mind for bardcore.

[@Hildegardvonblingin]

Thanks so much for noticing! I definitely had to research this one because I wasn’t sure what to do with it. 🙃
