** LYRICS **
[HILDEGARD] Whither have the worthy gone, oh, where is fair Gawain?
Where is gallant Galahad to take the bridle rein?
[WHITNEY] Is there not a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and I dream of what I need
[H] I need a hero
I shall hold out for a hero 'til the end of the night
I pray he be hale,
Wingèd of heel
And newly return’d from the fight
[W] I need a hero
I shall hold out for a hero 'til the morning light
He must be assur’d
E’er true to his word
With a wit that will thrill and excite
Thrill and excite
Erelong at the witching hour within my reverie
Somewhere just beyond the veil someone reacheth out for me
[H] Racing on a courser and clad in gleaming mail
I shall answer none but he who bringeth me the grail
[W] Aaah, I need a hero
I shall hold out for a hero 'til the end of the night
Could I but afford
My very own sword
I would not require his might
[H] I need a hero
I shall hold out for a hero 'til the morning light
By god was he blessed
E’er true to his quest
A man of whom Chaucer will write
[W] Up where the dragons glide near heaven above
Out on a storm-tossed odyssey
Verily doth a saintly champion ride toward me
[H] Through the wind, and the chill, and the rain
The plague, and the flood
I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood
[BOTH] I need a hero
I shall hold out for a hero ‘til the end of the night
I pray he be hale,
Wingèd of heel
And newly return’d from the fight
I need a hero
I shall hold out for a hero ‘til the morning light
A knight, not a pawn
A true paragon
With armor and eyes shining bright
I need a hero
** THANKS FOR WATCHING! :) **

@@Sam-lb8xs In some interpretations that I have seen (and I am not sure whether this is correct or not) the dragon in medieval frescas (especially the one slain by saints) symbolyses female sexuality and sex drive, and how it should be slain for the betterment of the godly christian world, lol. So, the singers flying away on the dragon could symbolise them taking control over their own sexuality, if you chose to believe the above interpretation.

She's gonna wait a while, answering to none. Actually finding the Grail ends in two ways, Arthurian-legend-wise: - getting fireballed into many weeks of recovery from your crippling wounds, should you prove unworthy - getting ascended straight into Heaven, body and Grail and all, otherwise So, bottom line... for this to happen to you, you have to be in Heaven already, which in her case has "dead" as a prerequisite!

I thank ye; all that would pay pilgrimage to my prayer, and lend to them the nudge of your own attention. You have lent your power to this endeavor, and this victory is yours as much as mine. Prithee tell: have ye latch'd upon my words for the cadence of days lost, or the sentiment which I anticipated to fade into anonymity? Would ye have peaked such interest if I had said "commenting for the algorithm", as I nearly did indeed write? I feel as an imposter: I know not how words would be spoken so long ago- the difference between "hast" vs "have", "shall" vs "shalt", and many more elude me. Tis fun, and of much humor, to speak in such a manner, but does it not get tiresome to ye? I eagerly await your answers.

My issue with bardcore is most of it is surface level... "Let's just take a pop song and redo it with instruments" It doesn't sound like medieval music, it just sounds like a pop song done with weird instruments like "hey guys I redid the amogus theme with a kazoo". Music from this era was supposed to last and tell a story... But bardcore for the most part might as well be redoing songs like WAP or some shit ruining the feel Much of the genre is quite awful to listen to ngl...

@@elgatochurro And that's why I only listen to Hildegard's covers: she puts effort in making the covers feel authentic by modifying the lyrics to fit into medieval times both in orthography (like changing "you" with "thou") and in contents (like changing "dress" with "surcoat" in "Summertime Sadness")

My lords, my ladies, and everybody else here not sitting on a cushion! Today... today, you find yourselves equals. For you are all equally blessed. For I have the pride, the privilege, nay, the pleasure of introducing to you to a knight, sired by knights. A knight who can trace his lineage back beyond Charlemagne. I first met him atop a mountain near Jerusalem, praying to God, asking his forgiveness for the Saracen blood spilt by his sword. Next, he amazed me still further in Italy when he saved a fatherless beauty from the would-be ravishing of her dreadful Turkish uncle. In Greece he spent a year in silence just to better understand the sound of a whisper. And so without further gilding the lily and with no more ado, I give to you, the seeker of serenity, the protector of Italian virginity, the enforcer of our Lord God, the one, the only, Sir Ulllrrrich von Lichtenstein!

It's brilliant how, rather than going all-out on every line, the choice to subdue some of the lines is brilliant. It allows the lyrics so much room to breath, rather than belting them all together. There's a place for that, even in this song, which is exactly what happens with the line 'Up where the dragons glide near heaven above', but at that point, the song has more than earned the heroics.
