Good day fine folks! I am so thrilled to announce that I finally made a Patreon! I'll be posting all sorts of things, from early access videos, to downloads, art, polls, and songs from the cutting room floor. The first Behind the Scenes video is available for all, so please go have a look!
The Art:
An album of miniatures from the early 17th century, featuring the characters of the commedia dell’arte. (PRPH Books)
The Lyrics:
I see a red door
And I want it painted black
No colours anymore
I want them to turn black
I see the maidens fair
Dressed in their summer clothes
And I must bow my head
Until my darkness goeth
I see the lonely chapel
‘Tis all painted black
With flowers and my love
Both never to come back
The townsfolk cross themselves
And swiftly look away
Much like a newborn babe,
It doth happen every day
I look inside myself
And see my heart is black
I see my red door
I must have it painted black
Look now for no more day
Nor night, but that from hell,
Then all must as they may
In darkness learn to dwell
No more doth blue spread o’er my green and wretched sea
I could not e’er foretell this fate befalling thee
If I stare long enough
Into the setting sun
My love shall laugh with me
Before the morn doth come
I see a red door
And I want it painted black
No colours anymore
I want them to turn black
I see the maidens fair
Dressed in their summer clothes
And I must bow my head
Until my darkness goeth - Hudba
Too late to soothe the distraught widows of the Black Plague, but thankful to have it for our own generation
I thought this is about the 100 years war
They see me soothing, tryna catch me riding dirty...
It's about a lost girlfriend.
@@faizalf119 - With all the references to black? The nursey rhyme, "Ring around the rosie, pockets full of posies. Ashes, ashes, we all fall down." is thought by folklorist Jean Harrowven to reference the plague. Rosie = red skin wheals, posies = herbs carried as 'protection' from the disease, fall down = dead. (Not all folklorists agree, though.) With the Medieval connotation, the song certainly fits with the plague.
@@MossyMozart How about Rosie as in the England's Red Rose?
Bardcore is awesome and you are the best at making it
This
idk man have you checked out ye olde monkey rap?
Trust me: when the *bardcore* phenomenon exploded, I decided (using many keywords and the various names the genre had) to search for the *earliest examples* of the genre on CZcams, till I reached the very 1st years of the site.
The few pioneers were musicians playing real instruments just for fun, then there were those who made the microgenre a success and the newcomers, mostly making stupid MIDI instrumentals, and I rapidly got tired of bardcore, cos -in synthesis-
*Hildegard* is/was awesome, *Algard* The Bard was quite good, but most part of the rest sucked for my personal taste.
Agreed. Hell, I say, with the fools in Hollywood - indies are better by far and uncorrupted to boot!
I hate how everyone uses the word “core” at the end of everything😭
"No more doth blue spread o’er my green and wretched sea
I could not e’er foretell this fate befalling thee" is an absolutely incredible couplet, fantastic writing.
what does the second line exactly mean? im guessing tis something do that her partner brought life and tempestous joy in her otherwise depressing life?
"I couldn't forsee (predict) this outcome that is happening to you" is the literal translation @@ricomuru9486
@@ricomuru9486I think the plague got him 😔
@@ricomuru9486 the original is "no more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue, I could not forsee this thing happening to you"
😅😂 can I use do that to old Pink Floyd lyrics ?? I bet you'd sound just as awesome eh !💜☮️🫂🇨🇦
Yesssss! This starts out fantastic and then somehow gets more and more epic as it goes.
Ayyy le legend herself comment hier!
Thanks Whitney! It was hard to fit the whole choir in my studio, but we managed! 😉
@@Hildegardvonblingin I like this one but Holding Out For A Hero is my all time favourite! The Rolling Stones are heavy rock and you're more easy listening. Much more peaceful than the original; I like the choir part at the end - it sounds EPIC!
@@danielsellers8707 came back to listen to this masterpiece again i must say i totally agree i love things like that!!!
@WhitneyAvalon, as it goeth
There's a lot of medieval covers out there but yours are some of the only ones who don't sound like someone just took the lute sound on a synth and I truly adore them for it, ALSO THE CHOIR IN THIS ONE IS EPIC
apt
YESSSS
Choir giving Carmina Burana vibes
As I wrote under a comment, when the *bardcore* phenomenon exploded, I decided (using many keywords and the various names the genre had) to search for the *earliest examples* of the genre on CZcams, till I reached the very 1st years of the site.

@@norai.5826 Makes sense. Bardcore is different of course, but Filk was around decades previous in the SCA and ren faire circles. Because of the difficulty in organizing a complete band in such informal / low-budget environments, it's possible that the emergence of cheap synthesizers enabled Bardcore. And as with any amateur / hobbyist thing the early efforts will be less complex and lower production value. What's interesting is that, as you said, the genre has stalled a bit and there aren't many really high-quality creators.
To me the key difference between Hildegard and pretty much everyone else I encountered in genre is that she not only has lyrics in the Songs to begin with, but also adapts them to feel more natural within the Bardcore style.
I adore the recent reinvention of 60s music as bardcore on your channel. I’m biased my dad and I used to Listen to this stuff. He’s passed away now but he would have really gotten a kick out of this. ❤
So much 60s music translates well. And thank you, I hope he would have enjoyed it. 🙏
@@Hildegardvonblingin I’m sure he would have. He loved pumped up kicks.
I just sent this to my dad because I have vivid recollections of listening to this with him when I was toddler in the 80s. For what its worth, my dad enjoyed it. I wish you could have had the same experience.
@@WizWiteKnight Thank you. It's almost three years now and I still think “I should send this to Dad” whenever something like this pops up on my feed. It's bittersweet for sure.
@@HildegardvonblinginJust out of curiosity, which song have you found to be the opposite of this? The one that was most difficult to translate into the bardcore style?
It's nice that bardcore is still alive in '23. Hildegard is the best since anno domini 1135...
"I've seen her live in the Kingdom of Heavens Jerusalem 1139"
In its prime me finx
This is why you don't skip the bards college in Skyrim
😮 👏👏👏👏👏❣️
Indeed.
Skyrim mid as hell
@@nerevar8823 k
Dnd also
It would be so awesome if some medieval fantasy film use these songs.
This has to happen!!!!!
As they're doing a sailing-to-a-distant-shore montage, with the end the arrival!
Would be dope to see Sir John Wick Movie
I now feel like all the church choirs completely squandered their potential.
Right? Imagine this with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir!!!
As an avid medievalist that adores the original song (and has a penchant for black always), I could not have asked for more. My cup runneth o'er.
INCREDIBLE!!! THE CHANTING!!! Also this makes me want a sympathy for the devil cover
YES!! Sympathy for the Devil, for sure!!
Seems like it would be a challenge to reframe the concept of that particular song to something that's both understandable to the common people of the era and also wouldn't get the singer burned at a stake. And then reworking the references to modern history. . .I could hardly imagine it, but then I'm not much of a medievalist. If anyone could do it it's got to be the Lady Hildegard.
@@TehAmelie Hildegard rewrote Orinoco Flow to only reference ports that were known to medieval Europe. She could do it, no doubt.
@@elias.tOoo, make it like an enemy king!
@@TehAmelieI sort of like the idea of a song that would get her burned at the stake. Give me Heretic Von Blingen!
The Return of the Queen
Also this song from the perspective of a Medieval widow completely changes everything. Amazing work.
The Choir at the end hits really hard.
I would really love to hear "Bad Moon Rising" in hour style.
YES! I love that song!
Huzzah, this has purged the phlegm and black bile from my soul, furious choler and vibrant blood resound!
Inspired nod to O Fortuna. You are goooood.
Imagine a bard dropping this banger in 1466
"Posted 8 seconds ago" and I've never been more thankful for missing hours of sleep, it's a delight to hear your voice
I think you mean posted 1000 years and 8 seconds ago?
@@iododendron3416 Indeed! Time traveling makes it difficult to keep track of time
@@nalataamethyst2258 You're welcome. I knew this will have come in handy.
It’s always a joyous day when you release a new song! Love it. ❤️ Excited about the Patreon too.
This song is awesome. The chanting! THE CHANTING!!! ❤
I think this this is the only Bardcore artist that actually uses vocabulary and phrasing that a medieval person might use; which only enhances every song. Keep up the great work Frau von Blingen.
Technically Bardcore utilizes much later English than Medieval English to get the "Ye olde time" feel across. Which is fine. Considering Medieval English was essentially an entirely different language linguistically than what we understand today, and you would be completely incapable of understanding it if you heard it.
@@thisdude9363 well, not completely, it's Chaucer's English, so linguistically, much of its syntax and vocabulary is the same, or near to, with the main obstacle being the differences (and variance) in spelling-- and the still-common pronunciation of the silent E, when it's metrically advantageous. It's not that hard to figure out the meanings, after going over the written text a few times. Its poetry is still very similar to that of modern English, with its end-rhymes, its meter composed of feet of a set length of unstressed syllables, and (frequently) it is even in pentameter. Much better and more recognizable to the Modern ear than Beowulf, which is written in a front-rhyming four-beat Germanic schema that has more in common with Norse sagas than anything we would recognize as English verse.The main problem, actually, would be the writing of it-- it's not that hard to write like Shakespeare, who is the codifying author of Modern English, altho it's also very easy to miss the mark and sound like you don't know what you're doing, as with any unfamiliar English dialect. Writing in Middle English takes actually knowing the language in something other than a passive capacity.
Ho-ly SHIT. This one is ON ANOTHER LEVEL even compared to your typical work. The sense of epicness and scale (like with the initial drop then the outro) SERIOUSLY takes this up a notch and gives me goosebumps like crazy. If you ever have a Greatest Hits album this either needs to be the first or the last song on that track list! I am BEGGING CZcams, oh holy algorithm, to make this viral.
I already know this is gonna be a banger
Edit: listened to the song and this is a certified 1660s hood classic 🔥🔥
Verily it doth scorch
@googiegress7459 Yours is one of the best comments on here!
Danke Schwester Hildegard! Der Herr sei Ihnen gnädig und schütze Sie auf allen Wegen!
So sei es!
A sentance seen today and also in 1500. Delightful
Alright this is probably one of the best medieval comments as it's in German XD
Möge der HErr Ihro Heiligkeit gnädig seyn, unnd möge ER Ihnen auff allen Wegen beystehn
My German is super rusty, but I managed to chew through that one, and I laughed when it dawned on me what you just did!
My mom is a diehard fan of The Rolling Stones and she loves this remake! She loves how you still fit the beat with different instruments and really liked the choir!
The spinster secretly sneaked out of her bedroom in the middle of the night, just wrapped in her shift and a warm cloak. Quietly she lead her palfrey out of the stables, not bothering with saddling the animal. Clinging to the horse in an non-ladylike fashion, she rushed over to the "Merry Abbess Tavern" to pledge her support to the lady with the most angelic voice.
One of my favorite songs + content creators, awesome!
This is hauntingly beautiful, captures the song perfectly in your style, while keeping its drive behind it.
When the world needed her most...
Thank you 💖
My parents village is obligated to have all woodwork painted red to match the medieval church at its center. Now they can have a tune to go with it.
Beautiful execution as always.
Hildegard von Blingin is now officially the vampire heiress to the house of Rolling Stones.
Another excellent cover! This is one of my favorite songs, so I was so happy when I saw the notification. 💜👍🏻
Oh I've been waiting for this one. Thank you so much, Hildegard!
That choral finish was just SUBLIME. It has made my day every time you've dropped a new song. Thou art a fantastical maiden, Hildegard.
I’ve said this was queen Victoria's anthem for years
Such deep and kinda sad lyrics that are usually obscured by the rock style is elevated here, well done
Love the part with the chor. Fits very well to the song.
very Carl Orff ;)
Thank you for the glimpse into a universe in which Westworld got a medieval season. :)
The best part is how this is actually pretty fitting for a time riddled with black plague.
I'm getting goosebumps listening to this. Bravo!
POV: Thine beloved hath returned from battle on his shield.
This gift was already giving, but then you get to the choir climax and it gives even more!
The choir part! Oh my lord! This is an AMAZING cover of an amazing song! As usual, such thought has been put into this. Absolutely amazing!
You didn’t need to go this hard with this one but you did. Absolute Queen
In the midst of the night, this cover cometh forth as the darkest, blackest of it all; most haunting and most beautiful, and none shall compare! Rejoice, for this is surely a marvel and a miracle! And the choir gave me goosebumps :p
Also, congrats on Patreon! This is the kind of work I absolutely want to support.
Another banger from our queen 😩
ALSO I LOOOOOVE the choir at the end it hits SO HARD
@mitchellmaxwell5068 - Like the chorus from "Excalibur" when Arthur rode through the country and all the plants returned to life.
The undisputed Queen of Bardcore. Simply beautiful.
The Orchestral sent me to another planet
Awesome rendition!!
I like how you barely had to change these lyrics from the original in the beginning! But then your particular craft really comes out in the last couple verses!
The choral piece at the end was amazing. I want like a whole song version as just an epic choral piece. 🖤💀
Finally. This is the cover we all needed.
All hail hildegard 🤩🥰 another slay
I didn't expect to find out today morning Hildegard releasing new song. THIS song! I even didn't know I needed that. Beautiful. Thank you.
hildegard, you're a gift to humanity, probably would have ended the middle ages 300 years earlier and singlehandedly ended the plague
It would take a director with any level of common sense to play this track over any dramatic medieval battle scene. Great cover!
I love this, I'd also love to hear her cover of Running Up That Hill, that would be awesome too!
Yes I think the lyrics would medievalise, but it probably wouldn't be QUITE as good as Holding Out For A Hero...
I was not ready for the final-showdown-between-good-and-evil bit at the end.
Makes me think of a grieving queen who’s been widowed refuses to heal
Literally based a DnD character off this song. This is perfect.
(Would legitimately listen to a 1 hour version of that instrumental)
When your Warlock multiclasses into Bard...
I wasn't even aware how much I needed this in my life. Thanks!
This is amazing! I love how the original melody just fits with this format so well, and your voice and wordsmithing is as glorious as ever! I love how you so gently alter the lyrics into a form that doesn't cost the song its meaning but still sends you back to medieval times!
💯%
Your adaptations are so clever, your voice is so beautiful and you are such a talented singer. Like with Weird Al, there are many examples where I like your version even better than the original. Thanks for doing what you do and sharing it with us! Du bist echt Spitze! ♥
I was listening to this while starting a dark urge playthrough in Baldurs gate 3 and OMG THIS IS SO PERFECT
Wow. Love it. ❤
This legitimately one of my favorite songs of all time. This might just be my new favorite cover of it. The reworked lyrics were fantastic, and the humming at the end of the song being done as a choir was fantastic. The way it built up was genuinely amazing. My jaw legitimately dropped and I just could not stop smiling. Fantastic job, and now I have to start my fifth listen.
Thank you very much, noble lady, for another impressive performance ! 🥰
Oh snap just got out of surgery and this drops!
Speedy recovery to you!
This is a beautiful piece of art!
I could not close my mouth whilst listening, simply because of how amazing this is
By my troth, this ballad is is mead for the soul, thy gentle song turns the muses green with envy
I've been listening to and loving this song for decades and it's only just now that I realize it's a song about sorrowful loss instead of just edginess.
PRAISE THE LORD. A NEW VIDEO
The fad may be mostly over, but I still crave bardcore. Another great rendition, Hildegard, well done!
Nay, ne'er shall bardcore die, for that is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons fads may return...
@@KeithFraser82
Hail, fellow Lovecraftian.
Wait Bardcore is considered a fad? I thought it was just a genre focused on medieval instruments?
It'll circle back around every century or two.
Now that it's a certified genre covers Wellsville be made. Maybe with even greater quality as the people who stick around will have more passion to do good
This is just simply amazing!!! Well done as always Lady Hildegard
This is not just bardcore. I wish we could travel back in time to watch the birth of headbanging with this.
The whole song is soo good, but the ending with the choir is exceptional!
YES NEW BLINGIN!
Absolutely EPIC! Thank you!
Elves in Lord of the Rings: Nope, fuck this place, we are out
Elves in Warhammer Fantasy:
this is elves in the Silmarillion in the First Age
Fantastic! Enjoying the lyrics!
Amazing. You did it again. This is beautiful!
Hurt and this song have greatly helped my inner vampire to process their feelings
You have the most incredible talent for covering songs that I hold so dear that I wouldn't trust anyone else with them. Gorgeous!
OMG the chanting at the end! Spectacular!
When the world needeth her, she return-ed.
Incredible work again Von Blingin
You've earned my patronage for sure!
The epic orchestral section at the end was a sudden but very welcome surprise.
Whenever Hildegard uploads a new video, you can be sure it’s blingin’!
Is the choir at the end singing in Latin? Makes it even more eerie and funereal. Excellent, as always.
I think so. My Latin isn’t spectacular, and the choral part is hard for me to hear clearly, but it sounds to me like the first word of the choral part is “volo” (“I want”) and the last word of the line is “āter” (matte black, coal-black, gloomy, dark, dismal; the opposite of “niger,” which is a glossy, shiny black). I wouldn’t bet money on my transcription, but I do hear lots of Latin suffixes in the choral part. However, I can’t make out all the words. Maybe she’ll be kind enough to provide the lyrics to that § sometime in the future. Be well!
This is in my opinion better than the original
This version is Epic; the way it sounds like it was written for an acoustic backing is awesome.
I really hope this is featured in a plague documentary. Besides being totally appropriate, that ending has a cinematic epicness to it. Well done m'lady!
YESSS!! This song in a plague documentary would be EPIC!!
This is just the kind of music pick me up I needed today! So happy you shared!!!!!!!
There are several great bardcore channels around CZcams, but you are consistently the best, imo.
Oh my god? Actually good bardcore? Finally!
This is easily my favorite cover of this song. It's so damn good!
Edit: So... Sympathy for the Devil?
Ooh that’d be so good to see! I bet it’d be tricky (fun though) to transpose the modern historical references with medieval ones though. If anyone can do it, Hildegard can
Haunting and fantastic.
It's perfect for the season, and it's a cover that I daresay surpasses the original.
So so good
one of my favorite songs. Didn't think anyone could do it justice but you nailed it. well done ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, my favourite Stones song, made even more epic! The chanting at the end is just awesome
I'm going to have to build an entire DND campaign around this and Hurt. Just damn.
New banger dropped!
I am SO excited for this one to hit Spotify
Babe wake up, Hildegard von Blingin' dropped a new track.
Now *THIS* is the kind of music i want to listen to
