Another banger bardcore cover from the_miracle_aligner “freebird” in Middle English

[bebethsas]

Mr. Gaiman, sir, you didn't know about the subsection on YT dedicated to making old-timey covers of things? (the Old-English cover of Royals by Lorde from the same channel as above is also really good)

also, it's about DAMN TIME the Stranger Things fandom (not just the Hellcheer fandom, but the ENTIRE fandom at large) finally discovered this cover!! There's only 2 or so ST comments in the comments section (I'm one of them!)

also foundtherightwords is writing a Medieval AU for Hellcheer week too? #I'm ruined

(lmao, don't get me wrong, I'm still gonna write my thing and do my best to make it Damn Good, but still. Eep.)

also also if anyone has questions about Medieval fashion (Europe, ~1000s - 1400 C.E.), ESPECIALLY female fashion, hmo, I went down a rabbithole recently, and don't mind sharing the knowledge with y'all lke a Mama bird.

Like Bardcore is a thing and nobody was going to tell me about it?

Davechella Week Four: George Hodgson

What better day to inflict these particular musical stylings upon the world! I did not expect this one to have the funky polka vibes it's ended up with but I'm long past overthinking these playlists now - I'm just having fun with it! :)

Failure - Laura Marling He used to be the life and soul of everyone around/ You'd never catch him looking up I'd never see him down/ But oh la la/ He couldn't raise a smile/ No not for a while/ And he's a failure now. ... People push right pass me shouting their disclaims/ A preacher pushes me aside and asks to wash my sins I said no la la/ If he made me in his image then he's a failure too/ I used to need a couple people keep my head down/ Now I need a whole lot more to keep me on the ground./ But oh la la/ I gave up something and I gave it up for nothing and I'm a failure now.

House of the Rising Sun (In Old French) - The_Miracle_Aligner (Lyrics in English but come one, Hodge would absolutely delight in listening to it in 'Old French', right?!) Oh, mother, tell your children/ Not to do what I have done/ To spend your lives in sin and misery/ In the house of the rising sun/ ... There is a house in New Orleans/ They call the Rising Sun/ And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy/ Dear God, I know I was one/ Dear God, I know I was the one

The Man Who Sold the World - David Bowie I laughed and shook his hand/ And made my way back home/ I searched for form and land/ For years and years I roamed/ I gazed a gazeless stare/ At all the millions here/ I must have died alone/ A long, long time ago Who knows? Not me/ We never lost control/ You're face to face/ With the man who sold the world

Tom Thumb - Bitter Ruin I'm waving in the wind a flag of white, but I'm not scared/ See, this whole scenario can only to me serve/ Become a bounty hunter, justifying laws/ I break by bringing bodies back to bounds/ And I know I'll be burnt/ But I can stand a flame or two/ To catch you And I know what you're running from/ And I know what you're running from/ And I know what you're running from/ And I know what you're running from

Come Along - Cosmo Sheldrake We'll dance and sing 'til sundown/ And feast with abandon/ We'll sleep when the morning comes/ And we'll rise by the sound of the birdsongs Come with me catch a rare type specimen/ Cuddle up with a hesitant skeleton/ We'll break our fast with friends/ Once we're fed we shall disappear rapidly/ Many moons to the west of here and happily/ Our journey never ends Shut your ears when sirens sing/ Tie armbands to your feet/ Listen up and you won't go wrong again/ Float along on a verse-less song and then/ Get to where the two ends meet

Exploitation - The Silent Comedy The pressure, it's risin'/ To let the shadows in/ The face of your father/ It's in the darkness/ You'll fake it, you'll fight it/ You'll scrape and scrub your skin/ The stain and the fire/ Your fate's decided So pick a spot on the wall/ Stare at it with all the strength you've got/ And if the lighting's right/ Seein' shapes so you won't think at all in the dark/ Wide awake when all those men have gone/ You cry for mother's god/ Swear at him/ Say I've had enough!

Icarus - Jason Webley I wake up every morning/ To the sound of motors roaring/ They are drowning out the voices in my head/ At night while I am sleeping/ I can hear the angels speaking But I can't recall a single thing they said I see their lips move clearly/ I feel their presence near me/ But each word they try to tell me just slips through the cracks/ I push, I strain, I wrestle with my brain/ And then a voice from somewhere whisper to relax

What the Water Gave Me - Mishkin Fitzgerald I dared to heal and soon/ I soon forgot to feel, the lights were on/ But everything was gone, the beast, he screams/ He begs upon his knees for me to run I run into his arms I had to let him out/ Just once it was enough to take the doubt/ And turn it into truth, the beast was free/ So guilty I will plea/ His hands among the stars/ Each one will come to pass The damage caused was great/ My love has turned to hate, I beg for death/ But sleep will never come, I curse the sun/ The beast and I are one

Rivolta Silenziosa - Humanwine They sling our marrow like it's fodder/ Mortaring morticious brothers/ We'll never get out of this place alive/ If these walls, these walls keep closing in Into practiced chains of blather/ Bubbling a thick blood lather/ Washboard ribs and broken cribs/ These walls, these walls keep closing in

Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division You cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed/ There's a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold/ Just that something so good, just can't function no more Then love, love will tear us apart again Love, love will tear us apart again Then love, love will tear it apart again Love, love will tear it apart again

@nerdypagan1 hey so your ask disappeared :( I saved it as draft on the computer and switched to my phone but now it's gone

I speak 0 Hungarian, but I know this by heart!

15- song that's a cover

You're gonna have to trust me here

25- song by a dead artist

Published after he died too - MJ was a perfectionist

the_miracle_aligner - All Star cover in Classical Latin (BARDCORE\Medieval Style) Original by Smash Mouth

[nerdyonlineramblings]

prima verba "All Star" in latinā, traducta ā mē:

Aliquis mihi "mundum" inquit "mē necābit"

nōn novus Aristotlē sum

c*m digitīs duōbus,

stulta ea stābat

"l" summā capute faciens

(gna say this in english cuz i want my meaning to be absolutely clear: i know the_miracle_aligner on yt did the same thing, but this translation is entirely my own work; and will continue to be if i translate more.)

[hartshorn-and-isinglass]

Hercle, Tu Es Victor, I Et Accipe Palmam

...God dammit.

[tarantula-hawk-wasp]

the_miracle_aligner bringing yet another absolute banger into existence. All Star in Classical Latin

Thanks @sunnylolli and @historia-vitae-magistras for the tag!

Last song: LOL Running Up That Hill, Middle English cover by the_miracle_aligner. I'm not going to explain myself, it's a banger

Current obsession: Baking bread and thinking about drawing. I have just picked up bread baking as a skill and can make some cracking rosemary focaccia. I am also constantly, guiltily thinking about how I've not drawn anything in a long long time

Last film: ... I don't actually know? Jesus... I honestly can't remember, I don't watch films much! I remember watching the new Spider Man some months ago but I swear I've watched something more recently

Currently reading: I'm trying to clear my very large backlog (book buying and book reading are two vastly different hobbies), so I'm reading both 'Park Lane' by Frances Osborne that I've been dragging about unread with me for god knows how many years, and 'End of the Day' by Claire North, who is my favourite authors of all time

Currently watching: Spooky lake month/ haunted hydrology on Tiktok, and bingeing Taskmaster. I highly recommend both

I'm going to tag @atticusfinchthelegend @balladofthewhitehorse, @fizzycherrycola, @stirringwinds, and @a-luran to do if they so fancy
