that's quite a rabbit hole I've fallen into....

Me too! What is Love? and Creep among my favorites, that lead female vocalist is really something.

That would have been even more of a treat to have appeared unexpectedly during a folk music concert by these people.

Thank you!

That was me - I don't know how I got myself signed out.

[conuly]

One mystery solved!

Bardcore is so fun!

[conuly]

Especially when we have lyrics instead of just instrumental covers. Although some of the all-instrumentals are fun.

I was ignorant of the existence of bardcore till a few weeks ago, when I attended the virtual General Conference on Medievalism and listened to a paper analyzing the phenomenon. This is a worthy contribution to the genre.

Everything she does is.

lol Cool.

Thank you for this.

Bardcore seems a cool way for ‘Orinoco’ to flow! B^D

I’ve not yet listened to this, and purposefully so. I don’t much care for this song, or maybe just Enya, as it seems to pluck at my own annoyance strings.

Instead, I have searched for ‘bardcore’ to queue up similar songs! B^D

I do like Enya, though I take your point on Orinoco Flow in particular - there's a reason I never listen to that one of hers - but I took the chance here because I have thus far loved everything by Hildigard von Blingin, and even though this one is sung by her brother I was not wrong. You might risk it - if you don't like it after the first few chords, listen to something else by her.

Thank you for this. I far prefer the bardcore version. My playlists will be greatly enhanced.

Reader, I laughed.

I love how they changed the lyrics to places Medieval Europe would be more familiar with.

Thumbs-up from this SCAdian, although I wish the animation was a bit more visually exciting.

Sweet stars, but I want to throw money at Hildegard von Blingin' on iTunes or Bandcamp!
