This is an awesome medieval version of creep and where I got the lyrics from

This is where I got the very handsome gentlemanās photos from! They are a a company that does videos and photos, and also sells garb.
Ayoooo, Hildegard Von Blingin is my girl (not like in an IRL sense I just love her covers), she sings with the voice of an angel. Recently did a totally haunting version of āHurtā and sheās got some others thatāll bring you to your knees.
Omg yes! I just discovered her and I think I listen to half of her bardcore covers already.
I love her voice and I love how she changes the lyrics but only just enough. I also love how her versions are different just like how every covers a little different. Her hurt was apparently about an immortal king.?
I absolutely love her Jolene to pieces.
So I am utterly new to this genre of music. Is there any bardcore that you can recommend?
Well, if you havenāt checked out her āDust in the Windā collaboration with Algal the Bard (on his channel) thatās linked at the end of āHouse of the Rising Sunā, definitely do that. I wouldnāt consider myself an expert, but the āBardcoreā channel has quite a few playlists of period songs done in an instrumental ābardcoreā style, which seems like the popular approach. I have yet to run across anybody who does the āfull montyā (by which I mean, including vocals) as well as Hildegard does.
Her version of āCreepā is actually my least favorite, because I feel she really needed to do more with the lyrics. āWeirdoā makes no sense in an old-fashioned sense, as āweirdā means āfateā, often āultimate fateā as in āyour deathā, but also in the sense of āprophetā or āfortune tellerā. I am creep, I amā¦ fated to die? I am a reader of entrails? I amā¦ what? I donāt get it. These donāt mesh at all with the song.
Thatās not to say I donāt like her music. I do! Iām a huge fan! My favorite is actually āPumped Up Kicksā for doing exactly what I said āCreepā doesnāt do and translating a school shooter into a Welsh archer defending against an English invasion forceā¦ āI doth gaze upon the fyrd and I maketh a planā where āfyrdā is an Anglo-Saxon army. Itās brilliant.
