    Big shoutout to the wickedly talented Leonie Aonzo for the sick BG artwork. So yeah, AI art is nice and all, but like every new technology out there, I just jumped right into it without really knowing how it worked, upon learning more, I was just depressed about what it meant and how it was going to affect the real artist out there (many of whom I am good friends with). So I decided to stop and instead rely on real artists instead. Big thanks to King Solomon who reached out to me with an email and enlightened me more on this topic. It was a fun run but no more AI-generated art from me now. Check out this video if you wanna know more : • The End of Art: An Arg...
    Here's are the lyrics courtesy of Memoramissa:
    eō sōlam viam,
    eam tālem ūnicam sciō.
    nesciō quōrsum it,
    sed hīc habitō et sōlus eō.
    eō vacuam viam
    simul gradiuntur frāctae spēs*
    est urbī quiēs,
    sum hīc ūnicus et sōlus eō.
    sōlus eō, sōlus eō, sōlus eō, sōlus eō.
    mea umbra est ūnica res juxtā iēns,
    res palp'tāns ūnica 'st meu' cor infirmum,
    quibusque volō fārī: "invenīte
    mē!", sed sōlus eō.
    eō līneam,
    abs quā mea mens dīvīsa est.
    fīnis līneam marginis,
    in quā solus eō.
    lege inter versūs,
    quod est laudāns, quod pēdīcāns est.
    vītae signa temptā, sīc mē vīv're sciēs.
    solus eō.
    sōlus eō, sōlus eō, sōlus eō, sōlus eō.
    eō vacuam viam, simul gradiuntur frāctae spēs.
    est urbī quiēs,
    et sum ūnicus et sōlus eō.
    mea umbra est ūnica res juxtā iēns,
    res palp'tāns ūnica 'st meu' cor infirmum,
    quibusque volō fārī: "invenīte

      @nostalji93 Рік тому +44

      @@bunderlemu7802 Iam curious about this. I agree with you that there is certainly a lot of modern bias the way we learn and use latin. There would be quite the difference of how people from different regions spoke latin. Not to mention latin changing over time. But I feel also that certain languages are more suited to be accurate while others tend to be more metaphorarical and are often associated with nuances not decribing reality accurately. This can be due to the nature of the language: E.g. mute swans aren't mute. English natives: Why not name them silent swans? Or due to the way people use a language: E.g. People interact online mostly in English so terms in video games are used by "gamer" and the English words are associated with certain actions.

    • @Fuma._.
      @Fuma._. Рік тому +64

      I may be wrong but maybe it's due to the musicality of romance lenguages, i'm a bit biased being italian speaking and to me latin resembles poetry and familiar sounds, but i feel like english is harsher, it's sounds, how you say things and how the sounds mix togheter it just doesnt have the same flow of italian spanish romanian etc. I find this even in the other lenguage/dialect that i'm mother tongue in, Lumbàrt, it has harsher sounds coming from germanic lenguages for example the ü and the c that's pronounced as a k, but a the same time folk song made for that dialect sound weird when sung in italian, but that's maybe just a "broken habit" situation so it sounds weird but it isn't.

      ​@@nostalji93 to be fair "fucked up" is a fairly new concept as far as phrases go. I am reading it more as "read between the lines of what is goo, and what is bothersome and tedious" because to be pedantic is to be overly tedious about minute details to the point of being annoying or bothersome or boring to others. it works, and its not even a really big stretch, its just an issue of intended meaning vs direct translation. Which becomes a little more difficult when the language in question has no native speakers left and thus no translations for fairly modern words and phrases that exist in other languages.

Only two are acceptable is "unica 'st", which is fine, and "meu' cor" and even that's like Plautus level shit (equivalent of using "thou" or "thy"), it doesn't fit.

It is not a biological stepping stone, it is merely a series of events that charactsrize the transition between adulthood and childhood. The concept of teens was used in the early 20th century, (prior to it being coined) to enlarge the labor force. It was later coined as a form of adoloscence following the western cultural revelations in the late 1950s through the 1970s.

    Also, if it helps your future efforts, there are elision rules for poetry in Latin, and I think song lyrics could totally count. It’s basically a system for contractions. A common one is that if you have “est” (or any form of “sum” that starts with a vowel, really) following a word that ends with a vowel, you can skip pronouncing the first vowel in the verb. So, for example, “umbra est” could be “umbra ‘st” if that would help you fit the syllable count that the song needs better. No worries if that doesn’t help, but I thought I’d mention it just in case it does. :)
    Once again, amazing job!

    I'm at a loss of words. This is perfect! I mean, I do not know Latin but, damn if it is not flowing like a smooth river. Refrain sounds perfectly!

    NGL this is straight god tier, and I have no idea how to even begin to take in how I need an entire album of this

    Very catchy interpretation of the song. My late aunt (she died last year at 91) won the Latin prize in high school for 4 years running. She did crossword puzzles in Latin until she was in her late 80s. When I went to high school Latin wasn't offered anymore (big mistake). Now, I find I'm interested in learning the language. I appreciate your time and effort here to make Latin accessible to people like me----your energy piqued my interest in learning Latin. I hope that you continue to do more of these songs in Latin. You rock here!

    I got goosebumps like crazy at the fist "solus eo". Don't know why but it's amazing !
