My best friend and I love your content. It’s calming and relaxing. But my best friend is deaf. So I have to sign the lyrics to her while her hand is on the speaker. This is her favourite song because the flow of the lyrics matches nicely with the music. She loves how I sign along so easily and get into the music myself while still signing it to her, Signing these songs for her and even listening to them on my own makes my day even better. Thank you so much for this content. Update: my best friend got the implant and heard this song for the first time and she bawled.

I' faith, yon madrigals be of finer quality than the originals, most especially for the angellic voices therein. Pray issue a Compacted Discus of your minstrel-work, for I employ archaic devices, as well as archaic language.
I might be missing it but did no one see the "Like Godiva" verse? That is some historical weight to this verse. Well play Hildegard. Well played. Also... all you're songs are amazing.
I cried hearing this. The original already has a special place in my heart and is one of the most important songs in my life. I might have enjoyed this more. Thank you.
As a music major and music history enthusiast, your arrangements are absolutely breathtaking! You even sing in the style!! ❤ It makes my heart so happy! Keep doing what you're doing, and thank you for your contributions! Your versions bring out a whole other beauty of the songs you cover. Amazing! I'm also a huge fan of puns, so your stage name and coining of the term "Bardcore" brings me so much joy, even on top of your work.
Out of all the bardcore I've listen, this channel is for me both the most beautifull and worked on. Really good work on the instrumentation, word choice, melodic adaptation, rythm that each time both respect the original music AND some medieval convention (obviously not all, that would be impossible, but to be honnest that degree of success is already beyond what I would have expected to be feasible). I feel most bardcore tend to do one or the other too much, this is the perfect balance (at least for me) that gets both world. And lets not forget the beautifull voice and perfect singing to fit with all of that. A real dream to listen too.
Hildegard, thou hast returned upon the world's most dire need! May thine music reach the courts of many a noble and the hovels of the peasants so they may rejoice in thine Bardish talents
This song causes me heavy sadness, an echo of once was and never will be in my life. “I shall miss thee forever. Like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky”
Fun fact: Wool of the King (1470-1548), better known by her Castilian given name Lana del Rey, was an English noblewoman who married an Aragonese prince in search of better life. Her melodies are reminiscent of the tragedies that occurred in that time. Summertide sorrow, her most classic, was written in memoriam of those who died for the liberation of the southern part of the Iberian peninsula. Other important melodies composed by her grace were: Cherrie, Jugglegames, and Juvenile And Winsome.
Juvenile and Winsome. I just had the 1920s hit, Stay Young and Beautiful, stream across my mind. Imagine that as bardcore. Jesterage, not jazzage. Yes I probably need my meds...
Truly, I shall be susceptible to intermittent bouts of maniacal laughter throughout my day of travail as a 'most necessary laborer.' All in thanks indeed to your cheeky commentary.
She also composed lesser known melodies such as Cerulean Tunic, Intoxicated By The Seashore and Ardor For Life (composed in association with certain bard often dubbed as The Sabbath).
Me, eagerly awaiting the glorious day that Hildegard von Blingin makes a Patreon so we can finally repay her for the musical gifts she brings to this tepid world 👀 this is *angelic*
No other bardcore cover artist holds a candle to Hildegard von blingin'. I mean, the Voice the Lyrics they're all just so good and add so much to it. Way better than the bardcore instrumental covers you see on youtube. Hildegard will always be my absolute favourite bardcore singer
i was so hoping to see someone contradict you in the answers. just to have the chance of, maybe, discovering a good bardcore singer, you know? ahh, dang it
I wish thou wouldst make these available also through the minstrels Deezer and Spotify, for the time I may spend with Minstrel CZcams hath been limited by my beloveth family.
This is a really beautiful --and heartbreaking--version. I like the contrast between the original and this "parody" (so genuinely good I hate to call it that). Not only with changing the lyrics and the style to fit the proper time period, but the contrasts between the Lana del Rey's smoky deep contralto and Hildegard von Blingin' crystal clear soprano.
As someone who used to work at the Texas Renaissance Festival: THIS SHOULD BE PLAYING ON BLAST EVERYWHERE ON THE FAIRGROUNDS, HOLY CRAP! I'm not kidding, this is truly beautiful, from the adjustment of the lyrics to the rearrangement of the melody to the very plucking of the strings (I'm assuming that's a classical guitar, or a harp? I'm not very good at music despite my classes 😅). This was lovely, and now I need to go listen to your other works!
Bro my thoughts exactly. I try go to Texas renfest every year. we need to get Hildegard von Blingin a stage there and start a bardcore music fest and I'll be one of the groupies in the first row! cool that you worked there i hear it's a demanding place to work. so many visitors every year.
@@rdiddyspace1708 _Very_ demanding, with long days, rude people, and not a great pay per hour. I actually greatly preferred working at another, smaller ren faire because every shop was mom-'n'-pop instead of commercial, and all the patrons(customers) were super into it with their own costumes, rather than just being tourists in shorts and sandals.

These deities to whom I owe your existence, and your brilliant work, I thank. And I thank you, for being amazing!
That is so sweet of you to say! Thank you!
I' faith, yon madrigals be of finer quality than the originals, most especially for the angellic voices therein. Pray issue a Compacted Discus of your minstrel-work, for I employ archaic devices, as well as archaic language.
Indeed. The archaic devices do yet impart a more pleasing timbre.
Why would a Rodanian learn such an archaic form of galactic basic?
@@Christian-rn1ur I refer you to the scroll: "A LONG TIME AGO, in a galaxy far, far away." 😉
Addendum: Also, "What is thy bidding, my master?"
Thanks Beedo Sookcool. You made my day.
Han shootist thee first!
I absolutely adore these arrangements and your voice! Can't wait for the next one!
Thank you so very much!
@@Hildegardvonblingin No thank YOU for posting these.
I can't wait either haha. This page needs more music
I’m sure they take a long time. They are so well done, she has to put a lot into them.
Yeah, it’s Beautiful

This music: Exists
Everyone: It is evolving, just backwards.
kinda like that meme " when anti-vax people hear there's a return of an old diseases: 'oh fuck yeah spread it' "
I wouldn’t even be mad if Bardcore became the new trend in music. I’ll take this over modern rap, pop, hip-hop and the rest of that crap any day.
but in a good way
Is no one going to start the argument that evolution, like distance, only travels forward? No？
@@l.v.9995 But forwards can look like it's backwards at different angles (to anyone who wants to argue)
‘With my vagabond by my heavenly side’ instead of ‘got my bad baby by my heavenly’ it’s amazing
Summertide hath ended yet my sadness remaineth 🙈
May thy rest in the greatest, everlasting peace. Brethren from near and far shall come to chant the prayer of "F" for thee.

Sameth.😩
lmao look who's here 🤣
The feel when you spend all spring wooing the baron and in summer he joins the Crusade.
Friend: "Are you crying at bardcore music again?"
Me, sniffling: "No! Shut up, you're crying!"
I unironically like this version better than the original
Well, I dont know why but I always like the medieval versions better
Check the synthwave version, second best next to this version
This is a close second to the original version, both are so much better than the shitty remix that was popular on the radio. Did Lana so dirty😭
Sophia P
Yeah
Agreed.
Just threw my dressing gown over my shoulders and started dancing a pavane, this is a whole bop
I might be missing it but did no one see the "Like Godiva" verse? That is some historical weight to this verse. Well play Hildegard. Well played. Also... all you're songs are amazing.
I cried hearing this. The original already has a special place in my heart and is one of the most important songs in my life. I might have enjoyed this more.
Thank you.
Me too... dealing with some seasonal blues myself and this just did more than only words ever could
Jessica Jayne Yup. Sometimes a song can make you feel and express your emotions better than your own words. Especially when they’re this beautiful.
Yeah, this is amazing

I feel your heartbreak
Sending hearts 💕💕💕💕
* sad medieval twerking intensifies *
You actually made me laugh out loud. Thank you
Lmao, thankyouu for making me laugh
Please put “made 127 people cackle while on the toilet” on your resume
*The Inquisition wants to know your location.*
keep your ankles covered and dance on!!
As a music major and music history enthusiast, your arrangements are absolutely breathtaking! You even sing in the style!! ❤ It makes my heart so happy! Keep doing what you're doing, and thank you for your contributions! Your versions bring out a whole other beauty of the songs you cover. Amazing!
I'm also a huge fan of puns, so your stage name and coining of the term "Bardcore" brings me so much joy, even on top of your work.
Out of all the bardcore I've listen, this channel is for me both the most beautifull and worked on. Really good work on the instrumentation, word choice, melodic adaptation, rythm that each time both respect the original music AND some medieval convention (obviously not all, that would be impossible, but to be honnest that degree of success is already beyond what I would have expected to be feasible).
I feel most bardcore tend to do one or the other too much, this is the perfect balance (at least for me) that gets both world.
And lets not forget the beautifull voice and perfect singing to fit with all of that. A real dream to listen too.
Yea Verily! I wholeheartedly agree with thy profession o' respect and admiration
It’s perfection! It’s the only bardcore channel I sub to and you’ve articulated all of the reasons so well.
Totally agree!
You said it!
Hildegard, thou hast returned upon the world's most dire need! May thine music reach the courts of many a noble and the hovels of the peasants so they may rejoice in thine Bardish talents
This song causes me heavy sadness, an echo of once was and never will be in my life.
“I shall miss thee forever. Like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky”
You already know my thoughts, every cover better than the last one! Amazing, and the things you do with the lyrics is just brilliant ♥️
Thank you so much, as always!
Celtic Revival / Adfywiad Celtaidd I SECOND THIS

This actually hits harder than the original, I nearly cried.
2:51 mark is my limit
Actually I did cry, well at least dropped some tears. Such a wonderful voice.
I came for the meme.
Stayed for the thorough Medieval rendition.
All I can think of is a heartbroken peasant woman.
Peasant?You mean a Queen!
Fun fact: Wool of the King (1470-1548), better known by her Castilian given name Lana del Rey, was an English noblewoman who married an Aragonese prince in search of better life. Her melodies are reminiscent of the tragedies that occurred in that time. Summertide sorrow, her most classic, was written in memoriam of those who died for the liberation of the southern part of the Iberian peninsula. Other important melodies composed by her grace were: Cherrie, Jugglegames, and Juvenile And Winsome.
Juvenile and Winsome. I just had the 1920s hit, Stay Young and Beautiful, stream across my mind. Imagine that as bardcore. Jesterage, not jazzage.
Yes I probably need my meds...
Truly, I shall be susceptible to intermittent bouts of maniacal laughter throughout my day of travail as a 'most necessary laborer.' All in thanks indeed to your cheeky commentary.
Her Jaunt is also a classic
Does not she belong to the King? It sayeth in her name, verily.
She also composed lesser known melodies such as Cerulean Tunic, Intoxicated By The Seashore and Ardor For Life (composed in association with certain bard often dubbed as The Sabbath).
I love it how this started as a meme and now has become a legitimate and well appreciated genre of music.
This has got to be my favorite of your covers, it’s so beautiful.
Thank you, that means a lot to me!
Me, eagerly awaiting the glorious day that Hildegard von Blingin makes a Patreon so we can finally repay her for the musical gifts she brings to this tepid world 👀
this is *angelic*
truths solely
summer ending in medieval times was really sadness because you weren't sure if you were surviving the winter
No other bardcore cover artist holds a candle to Hildegard von blingin'. I mean, the Voice the Lyrics they're all just so good and add so much to it. Way better than the bardcore instrumental covers you see on youtube. Hildegard will always be my absolute favourite bardcore singer
i was so hoping to see someone contradict you in the answers. just to have the chance of, maybe, discovering a good bardcore singer, you know?
ahh, dang it
@@log9357 good news, I have a recommendation for you. Her name is Hildegard von blingin' 😂
@@taylorbreckenridge6390 😂😂
well i mean you're not wrong,,,
Yessssssshhhh
Yess! Bardcore versions with lyrics seem to be quite rare, sadly...
You were featured on a podcast (The World) episode about Bardcore recently!!
Love your vocals on this song :)
Oh thanks for the heads up!
You were featured on Australian radio too.
I saw her on tik tok
Himi koi ,link
Linnéa should come up if you google “the world NPR bardcore”!
I don't know if I can handle just one cover... I need more
“Carry in Wayward Son” by Kansas would be an excellent song for this style!
Was just thinking that myself...
Oh that'd be amazing! Please madam Hildegard, listen to our prayers!
Yas!
Fellas...Dust in The Wind.
Yes. I need this in my life
Welp, I hath failed thou month of no simp september. 😔
And when I needed her most I returned
I love how they kept the lyric, "Like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky" because it's just already so poetic HAHA
I wish thou wouldst make these available also through the minstrels Deezer and Spotify, for the time I may spend with Minstrel CZcams hath been limited by my beloveth family.
Here here!
😂 true
Agreed. I wish they were on spotify
You can dowload them into an mp3 then import them into Spotify.
You can use Musi which I feel is better than spotify with only a few cons
Friend: What kind of music do you like to listen to?
Me: ... It’s complicated.
Post-Plauge Medieval Revivalism
Lana Del Rey does write most of her songs like she writing a poem, so she is kind of the perfect artist for Bardcore,.
Bardcore on trending...
My kind of people are showing up more and more
😭😭😭😭
IKR
Exactly my thought !
since yesterday its my new favorite music genre lol !
The first note of "bells" in "cathedral bells" almost brought me to tears.
Always cool when meme songs are so well executed they actually become good tracks on their own
me to a friend: DUDE HILDEGARD VON BLINGIN UPLOADED.
this is sincerely my best sentence of the day
This is a really beautiful --and heartbreaking--version. I like the contrast between the original and this "parody" (so genuinely good I hate to call it that). Not only with changing the lyrics and the style to fit the proper time period, but the contrasts between the Lana del Rey's smoky deep contralto and Hildegard von Blingin' crystal clear soprano.
Honestly. Your voice sounds like that of an angel. It's a rare and beautiful thing, thank you for sharing it with us.
I swear, Hildegard improves everything she touches.
As someone who used to work at the Texas Renaissance Festival: THIS SHOULD BE PLAYING ON BLAST EVERYWHERE ON THE FAIRGROUNDS, HOLY CRAP! I'm not kidding, this is truly beautiful, from the adjustment of the lyrics to the rearrangement of the melody to the very plucking of the strings (I'm assuming that's a classical guitar, or a harp? I'm not very good at music despite my classes 😅). This was lovely, and now I need to go listen to your other works!
Bro my thoughts exactly. I try go to Texas renfest every year. we need to get Hildegard von Blingin a stage there and start a bardcore music fest and I'll be one of the groupies in the first row! cool that you worked there i hear it's a demanding place to work. so many visitors every year.
@@rdiddyspace1708 _Very_ demanding, with long days, rude people, and not a great pay per hour. I actually greatly preferred working at another, smaller ren faire because every shop was mom-'n'-pop instead of commercial, and all the patrons(customers) were super into it with their own costumes, rather than just being tourists in shorts and sandals. But I am glad that I worked both!
A FELLOW RENFAIR-PERSON!!!!!!! MY MOM AND I USED TO WORK THE CIRCUITS AND STILL WORK FAIRES OCCASIONALLY!!!! I AGREE
The next time someone asks me if something is wrong I'm going to hit with "Tis but summertide sorrow, my dude."
