Well, if you haven't checked out her "Dust in the Wind" collaboration with Algal the Bard (on his channel) that's linked at the end of "House of the Rising Sun", definitely do that. I wouldn't consider myself an expert, but the "Bardcore" channel has quite a few playlists of period songs done in an instrumental 'bardcore' style, which seems like the popular approach. I have yet to run across anybody who does the 'full monty' (by which I mean, including vocals) as well as Hildegard does.

Her version of ā€œCreepā€ is actually my least favorite, because I feel she really needed to do more with the lyrics. ā€œWeirdoā€ makes no sense in an old-fashioned sense, as ā€œweirdā€ means ā€œfateā€, often ā€œultimate fateā€ as in ā€œyour deathā€, but also in the sense of ā€œprophetā€ or ā€œfortune tellerā€. I am creep, I amā€¦ fated to die? I am a reader of entrails? I amā€¦ what? I donā€™t get it. These donā€™t mesh at all with the song.

Thatā€™s not to say I donā€™t like her music. I do! Iā€™m a huge fan! My favorite is actually ā€œPumped Up Kicksā€ for doing exactly what I said ā€œCreepā€ doesnā€™t do and translating a school shooter into a Welsh archer defending against an English invasion forceā€¦ ā€œI doth gaze upon the fyrd and I maketh a planā€ where ā€œfyrdā€ is an Anglo-Saxon army. Itā€™s brilliant.
