Me when I listen to Hozier

[duhmemo]

Dance, Dance wherever you may be

I am the lord of the dance, said he

and I’ll lead you all

Wherever you may be

and I’ll lead you all in the dance, said he

The Selkie Maiden and the Sidh

Dúlamán na farraige, be’fhear a bhí in Éirinn

It is the first artwork of a new serie based on each version of the traditional Irish song “Dúlaman“ that I heard so far... :-)

This one is kinda the continuity that precedent artwork and is inspired by Clannad’s cover [link]

note: “each sidh“ can be translate by “water fairy“

Character What-ifs themes

While writing about my characters or working on chapters for RFR, sometimes I like listening to fitting music for them.

For Eightenate/the Earthenkind/the looming fjords leading into the Kingdom of Caldera from the sea:

Rán, Norse Goddess of the Sea ~Something I just learn today!

I like how this song starts out so innocent with a building tension. The rise and fall of the music (I don't know how to describe it, but you'll know listening to it) sounds like waves rising and crashing.

For Gwenny/his lover back in the abbey in Longormore/their love and eventual heartbreak:

Also, info on Suil A Run's lyrics ~interesting read!

First version by Celtic Woman - energetic, urgent, upbeat - perhaps a happier time

Second version By The University of Birmingham Brass Band - mourning, loss, a hint of determination, quietness

Some little hints on Gwenny's backstory (wip) lol

Wild Mountain Thyme - Ella Roberts

Saying this as an Irish person since the new Hozier album just came out and there are lyrics in Irish; it’s Irish or Gaeilge (pronounced “gwhale-ga” or “gale-ga” depending on region), not Gaelic or Celtic or any other name people come up with.

It’s just a normal language that people speak in their everyday life. We learn it in school in the republic. People like myself are bilingual in Irish and English. It’s not a “fairy aesthetic cottage core leprechaun” language.

Please respect it. Our language is a touchy subject seen as how England tried to erase it by forcing English on us and severely punishing those who spoke Irish.

At the same time that does NOT mean it is a dead language. Our (in the republic) road and safety signs are in both Irish and English, same with legal documents. Our politicians speak it, and we are trying to preserve the language!

Anyways enjoy the album!

Irish-uwufication is so fucking weird anyway but like people act like Hozier - who writes primarily blues songs about politics, books and music he finds interesting, and having sex with hot women he picks up in bars - is just a nature man is so weird. Like you have Americans saying he is a bog man, he only writes acoustic songs about chaste love and nature. He lives in the woods and doesn’t interact with society at all. He is made of trees and fairies because that’s what Ireland is.

For those that didn't know I like to sing...

I just know a One Direction reunion would fix about 99% of the issues in my life.
