I don’t mind people adding emotion to their folk song renditions but it kind of breaks the mood if it seems like you’re experiencing the emotion NOW. think less I Dreamed A Dream more sad ghost telling you their story vibes please

#this is about every rendition of Sally Gardens #also everyone is like nooooo we can’t resolve the chorus on the “leaves grow on the trees/grass grows on the weir line yet #because that’s not the end of the chorus #but I think that moment would be more impactful if you let it resolve and let it hang #like maybe the narrator willlearn to take life easy #and then when the “but I was young and foolish kicks in and adds more tension you’re like damn they didn’t make it #also the version I learned was take life easily not take life easy and I think that line sounds so much better with three syllables #because you can let the chords descend on ea-si-ly #and then they go up in a trio so it mirrors it #as the grass ^ grows oh^n the ^ wire #that’s where it would go up #it feels so obvious to me #if only I knew any actual chords
