[perseruna]

went to see anya’s play yesterday on the opening night and i think it might’ve been my favorite theater experience yet, the story has so much heart and anya absolutely kills it she’s mesmerizing and thrives in this role <3

[alexanderpearce]

songs that should be as big as bohemian rhapsody:

the d'ampton worm song from the lair of the white worm (1988)

desperation understand destination isn't ending get the sword get the sword from island of death (1976)

cam ye o'er frae france (traditional)

Гей, соколи

You won't believe me what Google translate did to Ukrainian title of the 19th century song - "Гей, соколи" (it's very, very popular in Poland too as "Hej sokoły" - it's one of these things we share)

I won't even comment on other parts of the translation which is... er... but from now on I'm going to call this song "Gay Falcons", and I snorted tea through my nose at work.

Hej, sokoły

[vermutandherring]

'Lo, there, somewhere near black waters A young cossack mounts his horse. Sadly he parts with his girl, But even more sadly with Ukraine'. Hej Sokoły - Polish/Ukrainian folk song

As a result of today's russian massive attack, near 20 dead and 132 wounded are known. The number of victims continues to rise. It is hard to believe that this story has been going on for centuries...

Shuffle your favorite playlist and post the first five songs that come up. Then copy/paste this top ask your favorite mutuals. 💛

Tagged by @whimsyswastry , thank you so much!! Answering right on lest I forget. xD (also know that I'm singing The Night We Met now, for the joy of all my neighbours)

I do have a random playlist I collect all the songs I like to have a random shuffle playlist and avoid jumping from album to album... So yeah, my musical theme is genre inconsistency.

King - Florence + the Machine

The Three Hunters - Howard Shore

Гей, соколи/Hej, Sokoły - Eileen

Till Victory - Patti Smith

Angels - Within Temptation

THAT OTHER BAND: Yeah, you got into us for our gritty Victorian port town vibe, but we do 80s synth now, keep up

THE DREADNOUGHTS: You know what rocks? SHANTIES. And CIDER. And whirlwind Eastern European fiddles! And how the First World War was not a very nice time! And yeah, we're going a new direction, WE'RE LEANING INTO THE TRAAAAAAAD!!

Srsly if you want a solid shot of electricity, go and check out the Dreadnoughts – and it's Bandcamp Friday, so not only do they get more of the sale price but if they get 50 preorders on their new album they'll give us another song off it early!

(I have not been paid to say this, I just really really love them and wish to have more fans to fan with.)

(UPDATE: omg the Dreadnoughts tag is giving me so much dopamine right now, I should NOT have clicked on that so close to bedtime)

Concept: There's only one bed but it's the prairies in 1895 and Matthew has been treating Katya with an insane amount of respect not expecting anything while clearly crushing on her. And it's their first night in a real bed in a while. Matt's gonna get his shit rocked. That man's balls are going to be singing 🎵Hej Sokoły🎵 by dawn.

[council-of-beetroot]

Ej, what do you consider to be the best version of hej sokoły?

5 and 23 for the music asks!

5: A song that needs to be played LOUD - imma give you two, because i can, and because i answered this in a previous ask so i spit on the rules of that indefinite article.

first we have unleash the archers' "northwest passage" (Explorers, 2019), a cover of stan rogers' song.

and in the same vein of taking traditional(-esque) songs and making them rock out hard, we have the dreadnaughts' "hej sokoły (zal za ukraina)" (Green Willow, 2023), a cover of the polish and ukrainian folk song.

23: A song that you think everybody should listen to - beseech's "gimme gimme gimme (a man after midnight)" (Souls Highway, 2002), a gothic metal cover of ABBA's song, because, i mean, fuck:

but as a runner up: "story of my life" by astronautalis ft. p.o.s. (Pomegranate, 2008). that chorus is in my bones.
