MOUTHMUSIC - can we bring it back?

[@torquevonthorne948]

Singing Patty makes me happy

[@adamgardner2244]

Agreed

[@JonGreen_UK]

“Bloomin’” is a (mostly) Southern English thing, a more mild and more polite substitution for “bloody”, which would come across as more aggressive. “I forgot to turn the headlights off, and now the bloomin’ car won’t start!”

[@jellycube898]

Ohhh I usually hear it said as “blu-ming”

[@JonGreen_UK]

@@jellycube898 There are regional variations all over the place. Blimmin', blummin', blooming (with the "ing" pronounced), and more. I grew up in the SW London suburbs, then did my degree in London's East End, so bloomin' or blooming are the versions I'm most familiar with.

[@stansson3579]

Thank you Patty hearing your voice and seeing your smile that puts the sun to shame makes any kind of day better. Lucky is the person who hears your voice first thing in the morning and the last at night. You truly have a gift that can make a person light on their feet while humming or singing your songs. The same can be said at night, while relaxing, having a nap before bedtime. I am not the first, nor will I be the last to tell you " you are beautiful", you can be in a " T " shirt and jeans and look stunning, slip into a gown and heels the world will stop when you you walk into a room. Thank you for continuing to share your beauty and music not only with me but also the world,endless hugs from Alberta Canada.

[@fryzerburn]

American here. The word "blooming" will more likely than not evoke the image of either a flower opening up or the Blooming Onion appetizer from Outback Steakhouse a national chain restaurant here in the states.

[@Broaster07]

Or bloomers XD

[@jasonbattenfield1]

No doubt... Blooming onions are awesome

[@Yahyahyahyahyahhalftone]

Texan, remember the Alamo, and blooming can mean... like the process by which a flower bud opens, or any thing which develops is near reaching a certain level of grandeur or importance, ie the verb "to bloom" synonymous with "blossum" or "flower" from Germanic "bleume". I think she should call it whatever is comfortable to her 😉

[@alastairhutton6156]

As an Australian we denounce Outback steakhouse and any association it claims to have with Australia, it's people, accent or culture

[@davidianschultz8640]

Blooming doesn't actually mean anything negative to the British, bloody is a word used in place of a swear word. Replacing the word with bloody makes it more tame. If anything your fear of offending is just incredibly German.

[@donepearce]

Blooming is an archaic word. It isn't really a swear word, just a rather charming was of adding emphasis. Back in Victorian times people used it as a slightly more emphatic version of very. And it could be either positive or negative depending on the context. If you want to hear it used, watch Mary Poppins. Dick Van Dyke uses it in his role of chimney sweep. And of course his accent will crack you up.

[@Wynterburne]

Blooming's more used for when you want to swear but there are children around

[@Broaster07]

Just a near swear word. An intensifier, Like Bloody is really By Our Lady, so an oath

[@sparkcrushervcm]

Gilbert is bloomin' hilarious in this video!

[@AOWarwick]

It is amusing how serious you both are when creative, happiness inspires and new songs blossom - no not bloomin', not bloomin at all, just Pattyosis!

[@neeashisarutobi5955]

Blooming days come, as an album name/ song name seems perfect, when I heard the name It felt like spring has come or is coming. Love your music patty.

[@87Erdbeerschnute]

Mesmerizing sound, Patty!!❤

[@Smoth48]

I really need to hear this full song now... That's beautiful

[@markjeppe9132]

Im sooo blown away by this song! I can imagine that Patty singing legendary Women of Ireland would sound heavenly

[@leonardharris1350]

Here in England the word blooming can be either its true literal meaning or a swear word. It depends on the context in which it is used. For example if you say 'It was a blooming awful day' then it is clearly a swear word. On the other hand if you say 'This Spring was blooming beautiful' then it means blooming flowers even if the word flowers is not expressed.

[@leonardharris1350]

Thank you Patty. Love your singing!

[@ParlonsAstronomie]

Only english can turn a such poetic term like blooming into a swear word

[@leonardharris1350]

Yes, I have often wondered how that happened.

[@Dan-TheOracle]

@@ParlonsAstronomie its not a swear at all, its a polite replacement for "bloody" which also isnt a swear.... its simply one of our poetic uses of our native language. go look up our cockney rhyming slang for other examples.

[@DragonShadowRBLX9581]

this was so damn great! cant wait for the album's release! good job patty! thanks for this musical journey!

[@RogueKarma]

Bloomin' in Texas is typically related to Bloomin' Onions from Outback Steakhouse and gardening. And you let yeast bloom before adding it to a dough mixture for breads.

[@user-kc7sz2qh5f]

Thanks for the interesting video - What you do is IMPORTANT We wish channel Patty Gurdy prosperity and wealth.

[@michaelnorman4476]

Here in the United States, it just means flowers opening up. Unless we’re trying to be silly and say it with a British accent, then we’re copying it as more of an expletive. But that’s really really rare and probably only used by those of us that watch a lot of BBC.

[@ncoutdooradventures6148]

Absolutely love, love, LOVE, anything you do! You're in touch with what we want! Sword earrings,, HA! Patty Nerdy Gurdy!

[@RebelScum312]

[@Smurfomancer]

As a Canadian who was raised on a fair amount of British media, I'm definitely familiar with " bloomin' ", but it's really quite a mild oath, as they go.

[@kennethdixson9561]

Hello my young Patty! It's obviously you all are having too much fun! To me, you are a Celtic Goddess! Ever think of touring with the Celtic Women? Just a thought. Everything Celtic speaks to me and I love your Gurdy. Always thought that it spoke to me because I was told I was Irish. Did my genetics, apparently half of me is Scottish and Welsh. Rest is British Isles I guess. Lol Love seeing your process. That's more fun than a recording studio in the 80s when time is money. Love ya Patty. Peace. Stay safe. God Speed. 🍻❤️🤘

[@jameshitchens9045]

I am am American of Germani heritage and absolutely love your musik. Can not wait for your new album.

[@drumset09]

Alaskan here I would not have caught it, the Bloomin language.

[@uglytv3417]

This is going to be a really great song. As an American in North Carolina, bloomin' is definitely a British thing and invokes that. Also bloomin' onions at Outback Steakhouse. And to a lesser extent, spring. The change you made was a good one but also this song is going to be awesome either way.

[@nw2394]

Blooming, or more commonly with the g dropped, is a mild curse word in British English. However in the context of a title of a song etc., we would likely assume the flowery meaning

[@gennarogelmini]

Great performance also in studio Patty, like! See you soon!

[@coolnegative]

Patty and Lindsay Sterling is the collab I've dreamed of since I first found Patty. SOMEBODY PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!

[@willreviews5413]

¡¡This will be folking spectacular!!👍🏻

[@UncleJoeLITE]

Just missed it - almost 0300 in Australia. Very gurdy in the morning here! _Yeah, blooming folk would sound a bit weird in Commonwealth English. =)_

[@tarmaque]

I have a friend in Gympie who has a bad habit of getting drunk and calling me late on a Friday night, which means here in the states I get the call at about 4:00 in the morning on Saturday. I have a hard enough time understanding his bogan accent when he isn't drunk and I'm fully awake.

[@JanHavel]

This made me remember Celtic Women (if I remember right) - those nicely sounding "I dont understand a sh..." songs with celtic theme were always my favourite :)

[@wyattoneable]

In the States it is used as you said, flowers "blooming".

[@wimvancraen9173]

[@thereturnoffrancesblogg]

American - def blooming onion. The best! Absolutely positive connotation!

[@canuckotter]

Canadian here, and while we're vaguely aware of its usage in England, for us "blooming" just refers to, like, flowers and stuff.

[@Broaster07]

Maybe it was my English lit degree, and too much BritBox, but my mind goes to "bloomin idjit" as well as Spring. Blooming is blossoming and a pretty word.

[@iDEATH]

This kind of exemplifies the idea of the human voice as an instrument. That's one of the reasons I really like music in languages I don't speak (which is almost all of them...I still manage a bit of French in addition to English, but I'm so out of practice). Very interesting stuff. ps, Patty is so pretty, as usual, she's almost painful to look at in her radiance.

[@mikebean5878]

I have no idea what's about to happen, I'm digging it......

[@StixDarKlor]

As a Brit I’d see Bloomin’ Days Come as a portent for Spring, not swearing or cussing. It’s a great name for an album, go with it 🙂🤘🏼

[@TheRealInscrutable]

American here, but I grew up in the "norf". Blooming was milder than bloody when I was a kid, but now it is just something a flower does.

[@johnowen9402]

BRIGHTER DAYS 🤩 sounds good 👌🏼 loving the clip looking forward to hearing this song 😍 . You would have gotten away with the word blooming 🌻🌹🌷 🤩. It's used in both statements , but probably not as much today , as there's stronger words used 😬 🫣

Have you come across Martin Swan, he had a band called "Mouth Music" in the 1980's and has focused a lot on Scottish/Celtic folk music. Your vocal here reminded me of some of his work.

[@apparition668]

At least on the West Coast of America, "Bloomin'" has no negative connotations and would most likely evoke springtime feelings... though I've personally used "bloomin'" as a substitute for "bloody" of "folkin'" =)

[@fredericrike5974]

Stop! This isn't serious art! You can't be having this much fun and it be art, I don't care what my three and four year old nieces tell me! Now we know why you get up- you can't really wait to make what ever happen- thank you every day!

Canadian here, "bloomin" is a Brit thing for us. When I was in England I was told "bloody" is worse than "damn" and you say "bloomin" to avoid saying "bloody." In Canada "bloody" isn't a bad word at all.

[@efi3825]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but what did you think of Norway and Estonia in this year's Eurovision? Because they both brought instruments similar to the hurdy gurdy, and I think both of them were FOLKIN' great. Especially Norway. (spoiler) Estonia's live audition was very shaky, but still, I am sad that they both got a low score.

In the southern united states I've heard and used "blooming" in the negative, such as saying "blooming idiot"

[@robjanaway181]

Brit here - blooming as a swear word really archaic and pretty mild. But then I tend to F bomb all the time anyway ….in a folk lyric context it would only ever be taken in the floral blooming sense

[@derekborow4121]

In the US it doesn't mean anything bad. Well I should say, at least in California it doesn't mean anything bad. But the USA is going crazy right now, so idk about that in the Midwest or east coast. California might as well be its own, country separate from the rest of the USA.

[@mikebean5878]

I think "Blooming" is used like the Brits use it here in the US.

[@vulpine137]

American here, and late to the party. Besides flowers, only other common related word I can think of is 'bloomers', aka underwear. Which may have been offensive in 19th century, but today you'll probably just get a weird look or confusion. I'll remember it for those moments where 'bloody heck' is still a tad too edgy for folks. ;)

Blooming in the US refers to flowers, not a negative

"Bloomin" does mean damn, it's true but it's not used very much these days (people are more likely to say folkin' instead). Blooming is more likely to refer to plants, such as "the mushrooms in my kitchen are blooming, I really need to do the washing up"

I wonder if "blooming" had any play in James Joyce's naming of Leopold Bloom in "Ulysses". He was a cuckold, so maybe there's something to it.

New York here. Blooming Onion

[@EndoScorpion]

Something like "bloomin' heck" would be a politer way of saying "bloody hell". Similar to how you substituted "Folkin' hell" the word blooming has it's original meaning but can be used in other ways depending on the context. As far as "Blooming Days Come", it doesn't really make sense, so yeah the context could be construed. "Brighter Days Come" is clearer and makes much more sense.
