"thy" is the singular form of "your", thats why they still used "your" in the chorus to pumped up kicks, because that "your" is plural.

[@hinonny8005]

@@pexalt8009 idk exactly, but thy and thine are originated from the saxon's language (kinda the original germanic tribe that emmigrated to England, bringing their language with them)... and the saxons are also the ancestors of the Germans and the german language. "Thine" sounds VERY MUCH like "dein", what would mean "yours" in "modern english"... idk really as I can only say what it sounds like for me as a german and not what english history exactly says... so don't judge me please, just giving my thoughts :p Have a great day! c:

[@benjamineer3045]

for years believed actually the opposite, namely that thy and thee were the pural versions and english actually abolished the polite address - many languages including french, spanish and geman by default address you in 2nd person plural out of politeness unless you know each other quite well -, whereas they made the polite address the only form availble

Thanks for including me! This was such a fun look at the genre, and I enjoyed your take on the holy grail of dubstep. Smart choice slowing it down! That’s one thing I’d advise to anyone interested in doing this: don’t be afraid to mess with the tempo, and also the key, while you’re at it.

Someone else commented below that "Oh mine Lord!" would have been a good idea as well.

[@morphman86]

The "trill" on the flute is a technique used a lot in Scandinavia around the middle ages. The trill always come on the last note of a bar and is used to break up an otherwise drawn-out note and makes the flute sort of add it's own percussive sound to it. This can be seen as the medieval equivalent of the modern rock music's double-pedal drums, which usually hit at the last section of a bar as well. And if you place it anywhere other than as the last note, it won't sound right at all. And will be rather difficult to play.

I love this meme,specially since the "medieval drawings" in the video covers have been a meme here in Brazil for quite a while. They take these weird drawings,and many of them were already memes in middle ages( like the knights fighting giant snails and being killed by rabbits) and make medieval versions of brazilian memes,all with the v replacing the u to make it latin-ish and using Medieval Portuguese and poetry-like phrases like a Portuguese Trobadour(BTW, most troubadours made their poetry in either Old Portuguese and Old Occitan,even the word itself has an Occitan Origin). It helps that Medieval Portuguese is almost just a weird dialect of Vulgar Latin(The Early Medieval Portuguese people still considered Old Portuguese to be Latin until the 9th Century) and despite that,it is still intelligible to a Brazilian(Not completely intelligible,it's kinda like a Cuban immigrant speaking European Portuguese), unlike medieval English to Modern English speakers. It makes the memes even more authentic and funny.

I'm a big fan of medieval music. Some of the fanfare music from that time really slaps. There's one that's called Lamento di Tristano - La Rotta that starts slow and then picks up and La Rotta is low key fire lol. Bach made medieval lute music that is really cool too. Sarabandes in G is a very pretty one. I really got into it after I played the Witcher games. I personally play and sing in my own setlists a song called Corpus Christi Carol which originated from medieval worship music, then was orchestrated by Benjamin Britten and made famous by various musicians, like Jeff Buckley for example. Love this trend!
