Her voice is beautiful and she actually has a grasp of music theory, and her lyrics actually make sense. Everyone seems to think that medieval people communicated with a bunch of garbled nonsense where they just tried to express everything in the most complex way possible.

Every single changed line is better in the original 15th century English. Every. Single One. Not that Gotye's 2011 remake isn't a great song in its own right, but modern English just doesn't have the same flow. * "enamoured with a certain kind of sadness" vs. "addicted to..." * "we could not make amends" vs. "we could not make sense" * "would not find thee pining for" vs. "wouldn't catch you hung up on" ...to pick just a few.

Original version: "Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over" Medieval version: "I lament the many times that thou impugned my honour." They sounded so much more classy back then!
It probably sounded like how we feel about our language now. I mean if you speak to someone in say French or something it sounds more romantic. To a French it would sound pretty normal
Okay, do not take any offense but as someone who is studying the language, I feel like speaking French sounds more like gargling and swallowing letters only to spit out every other syllable than anything remotely romantic. 🤣 French people, please confirm.

This isn't exactly medival though. When you get to 15th century, which is century when Early Modern English was spoken. It is where the modern era begins.
For me it was "I need no longer write them, though." Back then a lot of people only kept in touch via letters. Once you got more than 20-30 miles apart it was a huge effort to see one another. To stop wasn't just "I'm done with you", it's straight-up "You're dead to me". And the tone being what it is in that line, there's an added "...and I'm perfectly happy with you being dead."
@@eh5320 To send a wagon for thy minstrel was originally "have your friends collect your records" so they are picking up their music source (minstrel) but sent someone else to get them (the wagon) rather than come themselves
Okay guys, here's the plan. If we ever get trapped in medieval times, and we're looking for other time travellers to help us get back, we start singing this.
Btw "ye" is just "the/thee". There used to be a letter known as "þ" in Old English and other old languages which was pronounced with the "th" sound. Sadly, since the printing presses that were commonly used in the old days used mainly the German alphabet, they either wrote "the/thee" or shortened it to "ye" in order to save ink as a result. Sorry for this random tangent, but I haven't slept in 2 days and thought I'd share this knowledge. Oh and þ is still used in Icelandic for some reason.
Radio no, that’s a common misconception, you and ye were very much words in middle and old English. You and ye was originally the plural form of thou and thee, and also the term you would use to formally address people of higher rank than you socially, such as your boss, parents, priests, or the king. This is a trait in many languages such as French, Arabic, Hindustani etc. Meaning that the original commenter is not wrong in their use of ye, it’s completely fine. This slowly withered away in modern English possibly due to various contending hypotheses, but it survives in a distinct form in northern England. Nowadays we can say either yous or you lot in Britain or y’all in America, this repluralisation is also a trait in some other languages, such as most East Indo Aryan languages like Bengali and Assamese and currently occurring in Dutch and eastern Hindi dialects. Now, you’re not wrong about the letter thorn, which was used interchangeably with the letter ð to represent “th” voiced or not. But since thorn survived longer than ð, and since it orthographically looked like the letter y, it was often replaced with it, as English was very far of from being standardized. And so the world “the” was written “ye” our of both laziness to keep consistency as well as to be economic with ink use on printers, which is why pretty much the only example of this is on store signs, take for example “ye old tavern”. This ye, was never pronounced as ye, the other, proper ye, was. Sorry for wasting your time, have a nice day.
lyrics: Now and then I think of when we were together Eros surely hit the apple of mine eye I believed thou wert right for me But felt so lonely in thy company But that was love and ‘tis an ache I still remember One becomes enamoured with a certain kind of sadness This resignation to the end, ever the end When we found we could not make amends Thou declared we would e’er be friends But I concede that I was fain to be parted Was there cause to cast me off? Act as though it never happened and that we were nothing In sooth I do not need thy love But thou makest me a stranger and it feels so rough Hadst thou need to stoop so low? To send a wagon for thy minstrel and refuse my letters I need no longer write them though Now thou art somebody whom I used to know Now thou art somebody whom I used to know Now thou art somebody whom I used to know I lament the many times that thou impugned my honour But maintained it was ever something I had done No more shall I live that way Uncertain what thy words bewray Thou said that if I were to go I would not find thee pining for somebody that I used to know Was there cause to cast me off? Act as though it never happened and that we were nothing In sooth I do not need thy love But thou makest me a stranger and it feels so rough Hadst thou need to stoop so low? To send a wagon for thy minstrel and refuse my letters I need no longer write them though Now thou art somebody whom I used to know Somebody, I used to know, (Somebody, ) Now thou art somebody whom I used to know (whom i used to know,) Somebody, I used to know, (Somebody,) Now thou art somebody whom I used to know (whom I used to know,)

"To send a wagon for thy minstrel and refuse my letters" feels like its got more feeling than the original verse.
Ikr? Poor minstrel treated like an object.
Lol
That line got me too.
For me it was "I need no longer write them, though." Back then a lot of people only kept in touch via letters. Once you got more than 20-30 miles apart it was a huge effort to see one another. To stop wasn't just "I'm done with you", it's straight-up "You're dead to me". And the tone being what it is in that line, there's an added "...and I'm perfectly happy with you being dead."
I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see how that line would be translated and it did not disappoint
This is unironically beautiful in a tearjerking way.
The line "send a wagon for thy minstrel and refuse my letters" got me. Genius.

@@eh5320 To send a wagon for thy minstrel was originally "have your friends collect your records" so they are picking up their music source (minstrel) but sent someone else to get them (the wagon) rather than come themselves

Btw "ye" is just "the/thee". There used to be a letter known as "þ" in Old English and other old languages which was pronounced with the "th" sound. Sadly, since the printing presses that were commonly used in the old days used mainly the German alphabet, they either wrote "the/thee" or shortened it to "ye" in order to save ink as a result. Sorry for this random tangent, but I haven't slept in 2 days and thought I'd share this knowledge. Oh and þ is still used in Icelandic for some reason.
@@ranpo_edogawa so is thou
Radio no, that’s a common misconception, you and ye were very much words in middle and old English. You and ye was originally the plural form of thou and thee, and also the term you would use to formally address people of higher rank than you socially, such as your boss, parents, priests, or the king. This is a trait in many languages such as French, Arabic, Hindustani etc.
Meaning that the original commenter is not wrong in their use of ye, it’s completely fine.
This slowly withered away in modern English possibly due to various contending hypotheses, but it survives in a distinct form in northern England. Nowadays we can say either yous or you lot in Britain or y’all in America, this repluralisation is also a trait in some other languages, such as most East Indo Aryan languages like Bengali and Assamese and currently occurring in Dutch and eastern Hindi dialects.
Now, you’re not wrong about the letter thorn, which was used interchangeably with the letter ð to represent “th” voiced or not. But since thorn survived longer than ð, and since it orthographically looked like the letter y, it was often replaced with it, as English was very far of from being standardized. And so the world “the” was written “ye” our of both laziness to keep consistency as well as to be economic with ink use on printers, which is why pretty much the only example of this is on store signs, take for example “ye old tavern”. This ye, was never pronounced as ye, the other, proper ye, was.
Sorry for wasting your time, have a nice day.

Medieval covers are one of those things you never knew you needed.
lyrics:
Now and then I think of when we were together
Eros surely hit the apple of mine eye
I believed thou wert right for me
But felt so lonely in thy company
But that was love and ‘tis an ache I still remember
One becomes enamoured with a certain kind of sadness
This resignation to the end, ever the end
When we found we could not make amends
Thou declared we would e’er be friends
But I concede that I was fain to be parted
Was there cause to cast me off?
Act as though it never happened and that we were nothing
In sooth I do not need thy love
But thou makest me a stranger and it feels so rough
Hadst thou need to stoop so low?
To send a wagon for thy minstrel and refuse my letters
I need no longer write them though
Now thou art somebody whom I used to know
Now thou art somebody whom I used to know
Now thou art somebody whom I used to know
I lament the many times that thou impugned my honour
But maintained it was ever something I had done
No more shall I live that way
Uncertain what thy words bewray
Thou said that if I were to go
I would not find thee pining for somebody that I used to know
Was there cause to cast me off?
Act as though it never happened and that we were nothing
In sooth I do not need thy love
But thou makest me a stranger and it feels so rough
Hadst thou need to stoop so low?
To send a wagon for thy minstrel and refuse my letters
I need no longer write them though
Now thou art somebody whom I used to know
Somebody, I used to know,
(Somebody, ) Now thou art somebody whom I used to know (whom i used to know,)
Somebody, I used to know,
(Somebody,) Now thou art somebody whom I used to know (whom I used to know,)

What is the meaning of mistral in this context? Thank you :)
Louise Defontaine The French origin means servants!
“Minstrel” in this context means someone hired to play music. The original lyric is about retrieving a record collection, if I remember correctly.
I love stuff like this and orchestral pop songs- who’s to say they didn’t rock and jam in their own way before recordings?
