Summertime Sadness, by Lana Del Rey (Bardcore/Medieval Style)
Good day fine people! I present a eulogy for a rather unpleasant summer, and wish you all a happier autumn!
In other news, I will likely be holding off on pursuing Spotify until I have enough songs to just upload a proper album. Rest assured I will announce it the moment I do. Also, I'd love to share another fun interview I did a little while back for those of you who are interested: bit.ly/3lMJqTv

Lyrics:
Kiss me once before thou goest
Summertide sorrow
I have loved thee the most
And shall love thee to my barrow
I don my red surcoat tonight
Dancing in the dark in the pale moonlight
Like Godiva, hair loose down to the thigh
Pattens off, I feel so alive
Oh, by God! I feel it in the air
Cathedral bells above a-ringing like a prayer
How my heart’s afire! I feel it everywhere
Naught can daunt me anymore
Kiss me once before thou goest
Summertide sorrow
I have loved thee the most
And shall love thee to my barrow
‘Tis but summertide,
Summertide sorrow
Summertide, summertide sorrow
‘Tis but summertide, summertide sorrow
Oh, oh, oh
I feel the wind with every stride
Riding nearly swift as the arrow flies
With my vagabond by my heavenly side
I know if I go, I shall die happy tonight
Oh, by God! I feel it in the air
Cathedral bells above a-ringing like a prayer
How my heart’s afire! I feel it everywhere
Naught can daunt me anymore
Kiss me once before thou goest
Summertide sorrow
I have loved thee the most
And shall love thee to my barrow
‘Tis the summertide,
Summertide sorrow
Summertide, summertide sorrow
‘Tis the summertide, summertide sorrow
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
I shall miss thee forever
Like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky
Later is better than never
E’en if thou art gone, I shall yet ride, ride, ride
‘Tis but summertide,
Summertide sorrow
Summertide, summertide sorrow
‘Tis but summertide, summertide sorrow
Oh, oh, oh
Kiss me once before thou goest
Summertide sorrow
I have loved thee the most
And shall love thee to my barrow
‘Tis but summertide,
Summertide sorrow
Summertide, summertide sorrow
‘Tis but summertide, summertide sorrow
Oh, oh, oh

[@daisukie]

True

[@chameleonsoul18]

Ok but why does “Cathedral bells above, a-ringing like a prayer” hit better than the original lyrics.

[@davestevens6283]

Because wedding bells fit the theme.

[@alexs5814]

my thoughts exactly!

[@ShonaMcCarthy]

It's a very grand love song, and so church bells and prayer fit in well with some of the religious references in the original. That, and the woman making these covers seems to understand lyrical poetry in as much as she understands music.

[@zes3813]

[@anna-mariemeyer2164]

Your voice, performing, creativity and wit are amazing. These lyrics you came up with are every bit worth of your voice and absolutely perfect for the medieval style. Thanks for sharing your exceptional and good humored talent here!🤩

[@ithemba]

I bow down to the musical skill involved in making these. Other bardcore artists basically just play the original arrangement with ye olden times instruments, but these here are rearranged in such a way that my jaw literally drops at least once every song. The harmonies, the slightly changed scales to make them more period appropriate, the changed metric to fit the olde english. That's serious composition work. Brilliant.

My best friend and I love your content. It’s calming and relaxing. But my best friend is deaf. So I have to sign the lyrics to her while her hand is on the speaker. This is her favourite song because the flow of the lyrics matches nicely with the music. She loves how I sign along so easily and get into the music myself while still signing it to her, Signing these songs for her and even listening to them on my own makes my day even better. Thank you so much for this content. Update: my best friend got the implant and heard this song for the first time and she bawled.

Out of all the bardcore I've listen, this channel is for me both the most beautifull and worked on. Really good work on the instrumentation, word choice, melodic adaptation, rythm that each time both respect the original music AND some medieval convention (obviously not all, that would be impossible, but to be honnest that degree of success is already beyond what I would have expected to be feasible). I feel most bardcore tend to do one or the other too much, this is the perfect balance (at least for me) that gets both world. And lets not forget the beautifull voice and perfect singing to fit with all of that. A real dream to listen too.

As someone who used to work at the Texas Renaissance Festival: THIS SHOULD BE PLAYING ON BLAST EVERYWHERE ON THE FAIRGROUNDS, HOLY CRAP! I'm not kidding, this is truly beautiful, from the adjustment of the lyrics to the rearrangement of the melody to the very plucking of the strings (I'm assuming that's a classical guitar, or a harp? I'm not very good at music despite my classes 😅). This was lovely, and now I need to go listen to your other works!

[@rdiddyspace1708]

Bro my thoughts exactly. I try go to Texas renfest every year. we need to get Hildegard von Blingin a stage there and start a bardcore music fest and I'll be one of the groupies in the first row! cool that you worked there i hear it's a demanding place to work. so many visitors every year.

[@BoredomBee]

@@rdiddyspace1708 _Very_ demanding, with long days, rude people, and not a great pay per hour. I actually greatly preferred working at another, smaller ren faire because every shop was mom-'n'-pop instead of commercial, and all the patrons(customers) were super into it with their own costumes, rather than just being tourists in shorts and sandals. But I am glad that I worked both!

I tried to find hildegard von blingen on spotify and learned that hildegard von bingen was a real person who composed a lot and invented the first lingua ignota (way before Tolkien!) Thanks for making me learn some history

[@no3namesalike]

Weirdly, some of the original Hildegard von Bingen's music went through a big revival in the 1990s (at least in classical and New Age circles) and a bunch of recordings of her music were made. Some albums are a little lame (excessive synthesizer and new age flute breaks) but the more straightforward renditions are awesome and were how I fulfilled my bardcore needs before bardcore existed. Off the top of my head, I'd recommend "Feather on the Breath of God" as a good place to start listening to von Bingen's work. You might also want to check out Maedival Babes' early albums, if you like the medival vibes.

[@felicitygee381]

I have a few of those Hildegard Von Bingen 90's albums but without synth (shudder), very useful for relaxing too or going to sleep to. I originally found this channel coz I thought someone had done some more recordings, stayed coz it is still awesome.

I find them all so sincere and eccentric. Into the bargain, i take much pleasure learning newfangled words such as weirdo. One of my greatest merriments is listening thy tówunderlic ballads whilst embroidering, and the sunbeams dauncen on my face and i dream of the possessor of my heart, Lord Narcisse.
