well, i don't really have anything particularly interesting to tell you...
just, i've completely failed in my attempt to become more modern music-oriented.
i like a lot of it, but i keep coming back to celtic music, i think i probably like it the best..
although it can depress me a lot of the time, since it's usually so miserable lol, but it also can make me feel like my life isn't so bad as i sometimes feel it is.
here's one song i've had stuck in my head lately, it's pretty long and freaking miserable;
ANNACHIE GORDON
"Harking is bonny, and there lives my love
My love lies on him and cannot remove...
It cannot remove for all that I have done, and I never will forget my love, Annachie
For Annachie Gordon he's bonny and he's bright, he'd entice any woman that e'er, e'er he saw
He'd entice any woman, and so he has done me
And I never will forget my love Annachie.."
Down came her father, he's standing at the door
Saying "Jeannie, you are trying the tricks of a whore
"You care nothing for a man who cares so very much for thee; you must marry Lord Sultan and leave Annachie."
"With Annachie Gordon, I beg for my bread, before I marry Sultan his gold to my head...
With gold to my head, and straight down to my knee,
And I'll die if I don't get my love Annachie
And you who are my parents, to church you may me bring, but unto Lord Sultan I'll never bear a son
To a son, or a daughter, I'll never bow my knee, and I'll die if I don't get my love Annachie."
Jeannie was married, and from church was brought home
And she and her maidens so merry should have been
When she and her maidens so merry should have been, she goes into her chamber and cries, all alone
"Come to bed, my Jeannie; my honey, and my sweet; to style you my mistress, it would be so sweet."
"Be it mistress or Jeannie, it's all the same to me, but in your bed, Lord Sultan, I never will lie."
And down came her father, he's spoken with reknown, saying "You who are her maidens, go loosen up her gowns!"
And she fell down to the floor, and straight down to her knee, saying "Father look, I'm dying, for my love Annachie."
The day that Jeannie married was the day that Jeannie died
And the day that young Annachie came home on the tide
And down came her maidens all wringing of their hands, saying "Oh it's been so long, you've been so long on the sands!
"So long on the sands, so long upon the flood, they have married your Jeannie... and now, she lies dead."
"You who are her maidens.. come take me by the hand,
"and lead me to the chamber where my love, she lies in.."
And he kissed her cold lips, till his heart it turned to stone, and he died in that chamber where his love, she lies in.
uplifting, eh? -_-'
