@@jettdevera8260 It's just a really clever way of comparing swans migrating when environmental conditions get bad to leaving a relationship when its no longer healthy
Oh, I didn't realise just how sweet and sad this song was until now. The original is such a bop that you just dance to it. This version made me go back and actually listen to the lyrics.
“With no portent how could I divine, that our love would wither on the vine” is a masterpiece in and of itself, hildy von blingin you are a treasure thank you for this song 💜
It amazes me that these covers which would be amusing as a joke--given the seeming absurdity of modern pop sung in this style--manage to be so much more, usually more lovely than the originals. Jolly well done.
You continue to be the only person doing this kind of thing that I find not only enjoyable but completely enchanting. Most medieval style or "bardcore" covers feel like gimmicks, but the immense depth of knowledge, talent and effort you put into every song and video are so immediately clear. I look forward to this song joining the ranks of all your others that play in my head on repeat. ❤️
Agreed. Her education in medieval art, culture, language, and music is **sooo** much more present in her productions than in any others. Blingen's a true gem.
in the original the chorus gives a very futuristic and dreamy feel but like this it has a completely different effect and it's magical i just can't describe it
My neighbour's will love that I won't be playing the same 4 bardcore songs on constant repeat any longer, but hate that I now will be play the same 5 bardcore songs on repeat over and over. 😍 😄
@@cyberbard He doesn't have to ask, though. "Does Al get permission to do his parodies? Al does get permission from the original writers of the songs that he parodies. While the law supports his ability to parody without permission, he feels it’s important to maintain the relationships that he’s built with artists and writers over the years. Plus, Al wants to make sure that he gets his songwriter credit (as writer of new lyrics) as well as his rightful share of the royalties."
The density of the orchestration made me want to list the instruments I'm hearing: hurdy gurdy with trompette, viola da gamba consort (bass and treble at least), harp, autoharp, frame drum, zills/tambourine, recorders. I hear another plucked string instrument that might be the gambas, another harp, or a lute. A bell tree. Then there's another plucked string instrument at 2:46 that I can't place... it sounds a bit like a clavichord or it's the autoharp. It's gorgeous orchestration that obviously took a lot of careful attention. I love how they use the hurdy gurdy's trompette for the rise into the final chorus at 3:01; it's the perfect marriage between renaissance frottola and EDM.
I'm so glad you keep making these. Bardcore has become such an essential part of the music that I listen to (I love acoustic everything) and there are so few covers of popular songs in an acoustic format. Out of all of them, yours are my favorites. I hope you'll keep making more of these for many years to come.
Thank you, that’s so encouraging to hear! Sometimes I worry that it was just a fad, but I genuinely love making these and appreciate that people are still here to listen!
@@Hildegardvonblingin The only thing that limits how much bardcore I listen to is the selection. Every time you and other creators add to the selection, I get to listen to it longer and more often. All things being equal, I would listen to bardcore as often as say, 80s pop or easy listening rock music.
@@dragonwithamonocle I totally get you. I get a lot of my desire for this sort of music met by listening to Faun or Loreena Mckennitt. But 80s pop is fire so I would never want to narrow the scope either! I’ve been tempted before to do an 80s flip of an actual medieval song just to mix it up.
With each song, I simply cannot comprehend how your voice can be so powerful, clear, and pure. There's nothing there that can mask any mistakes or roughness, and yet you just kill it. It's as much as a testament to your recording and mixing ability as it is to your singing talent. I'll let you in on a secret: For most of these songs, I'm listening to the original version for the first time just so I can hear your cover. The quality of these is unreal. Stunning.
Lady Von Blinging should cross the great sea in the year of our Lord 2022 and tour the courts of europe. I for one would pay three chickens and a cow to attend such event.
Only but three chickens and a cow? What scandal! That’s nary a feast for a bard as great as Lady von Blingin’. My family would gladly pay two cows and a horse for as as mirthful a lady such as Lady von Blingin’, to attend the courts of the high Queen of Denmark. We pray for thy graceful attendance, my Lady.
Tis high praise indeed but forsyth she has not the letter nor the blessing of the high king for such a sojourn and therefore must politely decline such forward insinuations
This is the first song in a long time that managed to give me goosebumps. Your voice is truely amazing. And the translation of "I made you think that I would always stay" to "'T was my folly in that month of May When I vowed to thee that I would stay" is pure gold.
0:55 the emoting is truly excellent musicianship; adds feeling without pulling you out of the rich melody. And the choice of St Maurice is brilliant. More layers to your work than an ogre. Truly the Sibyl of the Rhyme.
I've never even heard the original of this song.... but OMG this is like literally sooo beautiful 😭 I can't even your voice tho this is why you guys do this music it's so absolutely beautiful
Aaaand it only gets better with a second listen. (Pardon my numerous comments milady, but I hope you consider them more a token of my enthusiasm than an annoyance)
HOW do you keep getting better? when you started, the songs were interesting and entertaining. THIS is legitimatly a chart-worthy song. amazing. i need this on spotify edit: listened to it for the third time now. I *REALLY* need this on spotify
I can so see all these guys in the medieval period, fighters, duellers, lovers, poets, love requited and unrequited, emotions never change, throughout the ages.....
Aside from the beautiful style of music, the artworks in your thumbnails are getting more exquisite in every upload. *Keep the good quality content coming, Blingin'!*
I remember finding your first one or two songs with my dad a year ago, and this has been something that we could bond over, thank you so much for this gift! Your voice is absolutely beautiful and every song is stunning and well complimented with amazing instrumentals little illustrations that are always so interesting to look at! I like to think of a story with them while the song plays. Please keep up the magnificent work! ❤
Same exact thing with my dad and I… we would listen to each song when they were released. No joke, I would run into the other room screaming: “Hildegard posted!!!!”
i can be going through the toughest times in my life, and then the universe blesses this to cross my path once more, praise be to hildegard von blingin
Your voice has such a melodic purity to it, elevated by the playful composition and instrumentation. Along with clever lyrical changes, it's an absolute delight. I've also listened to each song you've uploaded, and it's clear you're honing your craft further every time. I dare say Lady Hildegard von Bingen would be proud!
I was afraid Bardcore had run its course, but there you are, breathing fresh life into it with your clear voice and smart lyrics. Thank you Lady Hildegard 🙏
The fluttery poetics of the new lyrics almost make it hurt more. Just a more grandiose emotional impact rather than the raw take of the original. Kudos.

I generally prefer original bardcore works, but these covers are a glaring exception
Agreed. Her education in medieval art, culture, language, and music is **sooo** much more present in her productions than in any others. Blingen's a true gem.
Harmonizing with wind instruments is the best kind of harmonizing.
You’re 100% correct
Your covers are always so good, they bring me back to a time when I didn’t even exist
Imagine a concert with people dressed up like this… I’d go
I’d be so down for that
I'll bring my bonnet
Me too, I'd clean my ankles
*I'm in!*
They typically call them Ren Faires
in the original the chorus gives a very futuristic and dreamy feel but like this it has a completely different effect and it's magical i just can't describe it
I agree the original were more fun and sad at the same time while Hildegard version sing like a tragic poetry between a knight and a maiden.
