Somebody made a cover of Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush in Early Middle English.

@Gargron It doesn't sound bad :ablobdj:​

I somehow like the vibe.

@Gargron I saw that a few days ago, but despite my love for Kate Bush, my favorite remains Smells Like Teen Spirits in Latin.

Haven't seen too many middle/old English renditions, bravo! I usually bump into this kind of stuff...

Excellent bardcore stuff on the net ;)

@Gargron Does this unresponsive YouTube card only happen to me or also to others?

@Gargron

Superb. It's actually the first time I've listened properly to that song, apart from hearing snippets as background noise.

@Gargron That's amazing! I just wish they'd used a typeface for the EME that was a bit easier to read. The words aren't in the screen long enough for my brain to decipher every letter.

@Gargron very interesting, sounds like a completely different language with some German sounds thrown in, fascinating!

@Gargron More people need to know about this.

@gargron It's not quite Hildegard von Blingen but it's not bad.

@Gargron This is what the internet was invented for 😂

I hope Kate sees this.

@Gargron

somehow this is exactly what I wanted to hear on this beautiful, quiet (except for the cats purring) Sunday morning.

Also fascinating because one of my current #books is "The World Horde: Daily Life in Old English" by Hana Videen.

@Gargron Sounds pretty much like a song by Ásgeir.

John Mastodon

@Gargron the literal translation of the word "bullet" from that song would be quite interesting!

@Gargron @OldAintDead that is beautiful! And what a lot of work went into it. Love it!
