    Most bardcore channels just use a loot, skin drums and flutes to cover songs but then don't change the melody or the tone of the song to make it truly sound medieval. But you changed the song for the better, you made melodic and harmonic changes that would be more accurate to/present in medieval pieces, AND changed the lyrics to Olde English. ABSOLUTELY Brava!

  • @bugbear2357
    @bugbear2357 Рік тому +556

    if anyone was wondering, the Latin is
    we praise you*, we adore you
    we bless you, we glorify you
    I have faith** in you because you alone are holy, Amen
    Have mercy on me***
    (some notes below)
    *Gloria in Excelsis Deo, a Christian hymn, contains the lyrics "laudamus te, benedicimus te, adoramus te, glorificamus te". Gloria is used in several rites and masses
    **credo literally means 'I believe', originally it was specifically a religious type of belief, but eventually became belief in any set of principals. within the context of the song I thought the best way to convey the religious belief in translation would be "have faith in"
    ***Miserere is the Latin name of Psalm 51, and Miserere Mei, Deus is a musical setting for said psalm. interestingly enough, there's a lot of parallels between the (modern) english lyrics of Take Me to Church and the text of this psalm

    idk why youtube recommended it now instead of earlier but it's truly beautiful. I think one of the key elements of Take Me To Church to me is that in my home city there's a church that was bombed during the blitz and remains that way to this day, and sometimes they have performances there. Take Me To Church is one of the songs I could imagine being played there and this cover exemplifies that

(For those scratching their heads at me, ecstatic medieval worship included sexual interactions with the powers being honored. It's in the writings, unquestionably.) BRAVO. BRAVISSIMO.

    this, has so much feeling in it, it's beautiful.
    i feel like a sinner, worshipping my mistress just as she demands, she makes me need church to heal the sins she brings out of me yet at the same time, she is my church. she IS what makes me pure and whole. she is a whirlwind of lust and love and nothing else matters, but her.
    the original didn't give me that feeling, even though the words implied that's how i should be feeling. you took that song and you brought out the feeling the original artist couldn't.
    i admire, your story telling prowess. i agree with Hilde (though I'm no where near you two) it's clear to me that you know your stuff.

    This is... probably the greatest and most creative Bardcore cover of a modern song ive heard, i especially love the latin parts, as it gives it a more church-based vibe which goes along greatly with this song

    • @morrigansraven
      @morrigansraven 7 місяців тому +1

      Of course the Latin is perfect - no offence to the wonderful woman who put it all together and sang it beautifully - because it's part of Gloria in excelcis Deo; a prayer/hymn that has been around since the 4th century; easily looked up and repurposed; all one needs do is get the pronunciation right.

    This is absolutely fabulous, and sounds like it came out of Blasphemous the game! The Latin lines just sent me. Very well done!
    It also is a good example of how translation is always an interpretation -- both the original and this are (mostly) in English, and are technically saying the same thing, but the connotations of this version is very different. The speaker in this version is still a devout Catholic.

      @@EliseRothMusic Have you tweeted this cover to Hozier? He's very receptive for covers and I know for a fact he'd be interested since his early career involved him singing old Irish songs and classical pieces. Anúna was the name of one of the groups he was involved in.
      Not the same, but he does appreciate older sounding music.
