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

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.

Apparentely barrows are English burial mounds. So it means I will love you even past the grave. I can easily imagine Lady Hildegard becoming a beautiful spectre as she sings about her love even though both of them are dead.

I was making a pun, grave meaning serious but also being roughly a synonym of barrow

[@damocles7406]

It would seem our lady von Blingin' has been effected by the coming of the riders and the sounding of the seven trumpets. Bringing a great sadness upon her. However even now she provides us with performances to rival even the masters of old and for this. I am eternally grateful. A good morrow to all.

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.

A Love that Heals and Conquers all. A Simple Secret in this Life that is often over looked is how Blessed and Noble Faithfulness to one's True Love is. Many waters cannot quench True Love. True Love's Kiss is life giving. The most powerful medicine of all is to be Truly Seen, Heard, Valued and Known. Friendship is the Seed of True Love which doth grow slowly and when Nurtured in Righteoumess will Blossom into the Glorious Fruit Bearing Union . To be so Blessed one must cultivate a Pure Heart and seek Divine guidance. As our Creator hath set this Noble, Wholesome desire for True Love in our Hearts. I pray that thee will be overflowing with Lovingkindness and tender mercies and thou True Heart's Desire may be fulfilled in due season. I send thee greetings from an Isle in the State of Washington, USA, Mademoiselle Jeanne of In Loving Hands Counseling and ASMR.

We have been riding north ever since, far away from our titles and responsibilities, to live in a small town near the coast until we pass from this mortal realm. The future is unsure and every hour I fear I shall hear the king's horses rampaging through this forest at our heels, yet never before has my heart been so full of bliss. I pray our future be one of joy, and that love's light wings carry us to that beautiful destiny.

what an incredible voice you have Hildegard :) crystal clear and so much control

[@yagmuryaprak5449]

Dearest Lady Hildegard, I hope thou will not find my adressing impudent, for, by dint of thy swégcræft, i feel aboundingly close to thee. I pray thou shall encounter this letter that i express how precious thy dréamcræft is to my heart. My mother believes thy ballads are unChristian, however i dispute. 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. I trust thou will keep my secret for our love must liven in the shadows. Pray say many kind words from me to all thy blessed household. May thou continue in health and good spirits. To most reverend lady, farewell.

Extremely rarely do KZbin comments make me smile, and yet, here we go, ending of the 3rd paragraph, amazing.

Love this so much! She's got a mesmerizing voice and the lyrics are even more heart-touching now! 💖

"Summertime Sadness." Beautiful. I recall when I had the minstrel sing it to me on repeat back in the day.

Don't even know the original song, and don't care. This one has been on a nearly daily repeat since hitting my favorites list.

[@brandoncampbell2070]

I can say with full confidence as a Lana Stan. I’m always skeptical of covers and remixes. But this. This is transcendent...it’s ethereal, it’s something no words can explain. Bravo.

[@ciarafinan3050]

Please do “Holding Out For A Hero” - I think the lyrics would be quite easy to adapt! Also, you are wonderful ❤️❤️❤️
