SEVEN DAYS SINCE I LAST SAW MY LOVE

- There are dozens of ancient Egyptian songs and hymns for which we have the words, but not the music. Unfortunately, the ancient Egyptians did not have a formal system of notation so we can only guess at what the melodies for the songs might have been. We do know, however, quite a lot about the instruments they had because many of them have survived, while others can be seen illustrated on the walls of tombs and temples.
I built the harp you see in this video several years ago, made a couple of videos with it, and then moved on to other things. I recently decided to dust it off and play it again. It is what is called an “arched harp”, known to the ancient Egyptians as a “djedjet”. Unlike modern harps, these instruments were C-shaped, and did not have a front supporting pillar.
The words of the song in this video are taken from the seventh song of a set of love songs written on papyrus scrolls in the Egyptian language of the New Kingdom about 3,500 years ago. The scrolls are part of the Chester Beatty collection, and are currently housed in the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin.
The temple you see at the beginning of the video is that of the goddess Hathor in Dendera, Egypt. Hathor was one of the most popular and widely worshipped deities of ancient Egypt. She had the facial features of a cow and the body of a woman. She was recognized as the goddess of love, beauty, fertility and music, as well as the protector of women.

Me: "I haven't felt true peace in years, still gotta go to work tomorrow."
Ancient Egyptian: "I haven't seen my love in 7 days, I need to call the doctor."

After 3300 years, I still have the same feelings.
True love doesn’t have a happy ending because it has no ending at all.
As a Sumerophile,his connection to the ancient languages and cultures really resonates with me.I love his vocalizations,and interpretation ofw this song!
never fails to speak to the inspiration, and excellent music to read about Sumerians, Akkadians and such, isn’t it? Gets you in the mood.
Agreed
This artist is a cultural blessing in so many🎉 senses! I coulnd't convey in mere words how much I cherish his work as a whole❤❤❤
fellow Soomer.
@@wessaie What is the very best source to learn Sumerian, Akkadian and Hititian ??? Thx . ..
My son is having terrible teething pains, and your beautiful music helps soothe him to sleep. Thank Mr. Pringle!
That's a little human on the right path, right there. Thanks for nourishing the soul of that child.
thank you for being an awesome parent
The ancients call to the new generations
This song is so real, it’s crazy that the feeling and ideas of what love are and can be to someone has held true all throughout history. Truly beautiful music.
That's what's so fascinating to me about history. The people in all periods of history no matter how ancient, were just people and felt the same as you and I with mostly the same problems, desires, ambitions, fears and hopes.
Voice like an angel and "oh I just threw this harp together, this ole thing, no problem I can just build it myself".
Seven days from your love can feel like an eternity, just as true today as it was three thousand years ago, or three thousand years from now.
I love how endearingly melodramatic the lyrics are. So many things have changed in the millennia since this was written, but love remains a universal constant
@@ilbiancofiore You're not wrong...
If we could just all dedicate to admire peaceful art like this in the whole world. Thanks Peter... one of my all time fav channels out there.
on first glance I thought that yer pp was Aragorn from Lord of Rings ::D
Imagine hearing this banger played by every harper everyday when you go to the market in ancient Egypt.
I will never cease to be in awe of what Peter Pringle can do. Each note a breath of the past, alive once more in song.
All of our ancestors live through you. You're eternal. A true master. I would imagine after hearing stories of him soothing people with music, like Pythagoras. It's humbling to hear you. Thank you. So, I DNA tested and clan Pringle came up. You were the first thing I thought of. Just. Wow.
Arsh,, marshallah, my eyes welled with tears ! ,, i do not know this language, this instrument, this song - but my heart does😢
That was beautiful... who knew a song could bring someone to tears thousands of years later?
After a long day of stress and work, finding out you uploaded a new song really made my day better. Thank you Peter Pringle. All the best from Peru!
babe wake up, peter pringle uploaded another ancient Egyptian song
back at it again with the bronze age ballads, thank you mr. pringle
Praiseworthy ❤ 🔥 6-AM cold morning playing this warmed my heart full of ancient memories. Thank you ❤
I feel grateful to listen to this piece of art. Thank you, Mr. Pringle.
It has been 47 years since I last laid eyes on my beloved. We were students in Paris and she stirred within me all the beauty, inspiration and pain of which you sing. Thank you for allowing me to recapture those feelings for a few moments.
Sending this to my girlfriend after our first week apart, and longest time away from each other
absolutely gorgeous, bittersweet, heartbreaking. your interpretation sounds so sorrowful. like the writer's love has passed away and they're seven days into mourning, clinging to denial, bargaining with the gods to see their precious person once again. fantastic work, no one does it like you 💙
Love songs never really changed. Amazing.
Magnificent as always good sir! You honor history by your dedication and example.
Ah, Peter ❤ finally a follow up to this amazing first Egyptian love song you recorded years ago, that has been my absolute favorite since the first time I had the pleasure of hearing it.
Thank you oh, so much for another masterpiece.
I have lost count to the number of times I've listened to the Egyptian Love Song. It speaks to the depths of my soul.
@@HJKelley47 same here, dear. Peter created magic with giving a voice to those ancient lyrics.
I’m working on my car and had to stop and just listen. This is so beautiful. So human. Pringle is a bridge between us and the ancients.
This man is a treasure for the Humanity, let's support him always.
It's always a good day when Peter Pringle uploads. Thank you for the beautiful music!
Crazy how he can just make instruments like these
Haunting sounds from the ancient times. I love Peter P. He is to me the most interesting and exciting musician on youtube.
Such heartfelt song of love and longing played in stunning ancient chamber that is mesmerizing. 💖
Your ancient egyptian works are amazing! Please make more!
Igniting radically deep parts of the soul once again 🙏🙏🙏🔥 so beautiful thankyou Peter!! This one really touched me 🤗🌞

I have a very deep appreciation for all you've done on this channel.
this kind of work is amazing.
ANOTHER GREAT INSTRUMENT..ANOTHER GREAT MELODY...PETER THANK YOU FOR THIS JOURNEY..
Is it legal for a man to be this talented?
THE GOD-KING HAS BESTOWED UPON US ANOTHER HIT
Outstanding work!
Absolutely breathtaking 💖
Hey Peter Pringle, I think you are one of the coolest people alive. I love your work, your passion with different cultures, the way you “relive” those long gone ancient cultures. And I’m deeply inspired by you. I actually started to learn and imitate ancient arts, or at least artifacts in my own way. Ancient Mesopotamian, Indian, Chinese, Eqyptian… there are so many cultures that are somewhat lost in time, but I learned from you that one can experience and ‘taste’ those cultures via art. I just wanted to say thank you, and keep going. I have great respect for you.
Every time I share I see tears of joy. Peter touches the deepest parts of our souls. Gratitude❤
Beautiful!❤
I would do anything to see you live perform some of your interpretations, they are true works of art
ANYTHING?
beautiful! please make more of these! and wonderful instrument!
another banger by the bard of bards
Thank you for sharing this in your own way. Charles
So beautiful………..
Beautiful ❤
I felt that so deeply
It was awesome. Thank you, master.
its so dope that you're still making videos, I've enjoyed every one and this is no exception! beautiful rendition as always
It's always an event with this man uploads a new song.
Why would the ancient Egyptian decide to play his harp to his love in a dark damp tomb? xD
Great performance!
This is so spiritual beyond the mind body and soul
You have opened up my world for one of the oldest folk music of all time
With love from Aotearoa New Zealand
I shall hunt out your heavenly music one vinyl Kind regards Trasea🕊🌊⛰🌞🥰
Now this is a lovely piece! I love listening to ancient egyptian themed music, so this is perfect!
nanni been pretty silent since this dropped
The legend is back to bless our ears once more. Yesssss.
How much we have in common with those that lived thousands of years before us. Thank you!
Казалось бы, так мало нот, а так много наслаждения! Браво, Питер!
Another great piece song beautifully, and performed wonderfully. Thank you Mr. Pringle.
Homie was in his feelings
Your music always cheers my soul, thank you Mr Pringle ❤
more Peter Pringle to be grateful for!
That final tone.
Its great to see the common thread run so deep. And better to be connected to it by one who shares its bond.
Thank you so much for one more precious performance, sir. Your work is priceless❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Peter for all of your hits. :) thank you
Wow
Damn youtube not giving me an alert for this video and stream when it came out! I only discover this gem now :( :(
We are blessed once more, thanks Peter!
😎😇oh Merciiiiiii 🙏🕊💛Mafnifique interprétation 🎼🎵🎶
Finally another video.
Beautiful Thank you 🙏💜💜💜👌
PETER THE GREAT BARD HAS BESTOWED UNTO US ANOTHER GIFT
Hauntingly gorgeous as always. I was so excited to see a new upload from you :)
So beautiful. Thank You!
Great Song and Sing ❤ Great Job 🎇 Thank You 🎉
Magnificent voice
I hope they got to spend time in the afterlife together.
Beautiful, as always. I really like the melodies you made for it. Still, I wonder what the original sounded like.
This is Excellent. Make more sir.
Thank you
Whenever Peter Pringle lays down a new track
IT'S THE RETURN OF THE KING
Damn I feel this
Thank you Mr Pringle 🥰
Woah talk about a Thanksgiving gift. Thank you!
Just a silly pensive thought. Art is the way we try to keep ahead of knowledge, even though it's a hopeless struggle for knowledge. I went into Physics to find out "how" and still know nothing about why, so why not sing ancient songs. Thanks for so much Peter.
Imagine the Mesopotamia posting made possible by this lovely man!
This is so good
That is one CRAZY lookin’ harp 👀
Wake up babe new Bronze Age lore dropped
As a side note,thank you mr. Pringle for being one of the very few reliable time machines!
muito lindo e bem interpretado
Amazing!
A TRUE LOVE SONG!❤️
