  • @tank7456
    @tank7456 4 ปีที่แล้ว +262

    People saying he can’t be a vampire because he was in the sun.. the thing is that lore didn’t come around until centuries after the “vampire” or general sanguinarian humanoid legends and folk lore were beginning to appear in society... originally it was believed that vampires can go into the sun but because they are night hunters they stayed indoors during the day for more of a resting up for the hunt sort of reason... although some older legends to say that vampiristic beings had a sensitivity to the sun similar to an allergy causing a rash or burns very quickly they still would not die, and with modern inventions such as sunscreen a “vampire” would probably be able to stay in the sun for long periods with minimal effect

    • @TiggerIsMyCat

      Yeah. The whole 'vampires burning to dust in sunlight' thing was invented by the filmmakers for Nosferatu, both to add to the moralism, and to try and skirt the copyright infringement they knew they were doing (they were adapting Dracula without having obtained the rights, so they did a few things to change the story to try and get around that but Stoker's widow still sued and they lost big time. But the point is that Dracula was merely weakened by the sun, not killed)

      The interesting thing, Rob, is that there's a similar instrument like that 9 string guitar here in Brazil. It's called a "Viola Caipira" (it translates something among the lines as "Countryside Viola"), and it has a similar string set: 10 strings, but in 5 pairs. It is deeply used in folk, brazilian countryside (caipira) music, but it's a popular instrument in some genres and music in Brazil

Could you please record a full version of it if you ever get the chance, sometimes it feels like musicians can just happen across these wonderful things; like you're just tuning into something out in the universe that's already there. But that's just my simple assumption, or my inability to respect the thousands of hours of practice I haven't seen or witnessed.

    The song that they start playing at 11:20 is an arrangement of La Canarie by Michael Praetorius. Very nicely done!!! Also when Blackbird starts at 13:44, that was beautiful.
    This was very insightful, thank you. :)
