Hail, and well met this dark November! I hope you are all keeping well.
This cover of Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game was created in collaboration with the wonderful Uilleann piper and whistle player Aaron Dolan, who is creating Irish music in Germany. It was a pleasure to work with him and have his pipes and whistles grace this channel. You can find lots of his work over on Tiktok or here on RUclips, so do check him out!

The Art:
'Hi leret der markis Arablen der kuninginnen den kristenden
loben'(folio 25r) from the Willehalm Codex' by Wolfram von Eschenbach, 1334. University Library Kassel, Germany.
The little decorative detail is from fol. 60r from Bodleian Library MS. Bodl. 264.
The Lyrics:
The world was on fire
And no one could save me but thee
‘Tis strange how desire hath a mockery made of me
I never dreamed I would meet someone such as thee
I never dreamed I would lose someone such as thee
No I don’t want to fall in love
No I don’t want to fall in love
With thee
What a wicked game to play, to make me feel this way
What a wicked thought to free, to let me dream of thee
What a wicked thing to say, thou hast not felt this way
What a wicked thought to free, to make me dream of thee
No I don’t want to fall in love
No I don’t want to fall in love
The world was on fire
And no one could save me but thee
‘Tis strange how desire hath a mockery made of me
I never dreamed I would love someone such as thee
I never dreamed I would lose someone such as thee
No I don’t want to fall in love
No I don’t want to fall in love
With thee - Видеоклипы
Love how reliable Hildy is. Doesn't matter what she covers, it's guaranteed to produce goosebumps.
So true! ❤
Talking about covers I wonder what a crusader version of ‘I’ve been everywhere man !’ Would be like .
Preach
@@philvanderlaan5942 Well, there's fewer places to go back now so....shorter.
I'm fucking crying this is so beautiful wtf
This has transcended from being a tongue-in-cheek meme to legitimate art. Soulful, beautiful, a joy.
Along those lines, we need to get Baroque Rick-Rolled
You gotta be careful making statements like that, or you're going to end up having an astronaut pop up with a gun to the back of your head.
Cuz it always has been, baby.
I thought the same thing, this is actually sooooo good.
@@confidential5897 Not Baroque, more medieval, but Algal the bard did "You have been bard rolled (never gonna give you up)"
@ential5897 OH SO MUCH, your genius frightens me but youre spot on
Your work is gorgeous and haunting as always, and Aaron’s pipes are a lovely addition!
Thank you Whitney! ♥️
How’s the Eeyore film going?
Every time Hildegard releases a new epic, I go back and listen to your collab with her. Still my all-time fave. 😁
It's for people like you and your work, that I often find new reasons to live.
❤
This song lends itself uncannily well to this style of cover. I could absolutely have imagined an early 2000's folkpop group having an original song like this.
Where can I find early 2000s folk pop?
@@keaganwheeler-mccann8565 Blackmore's Night
I’m not sure if it counts as folkpop but there was a band named Seven Nations that almost fits the criteria.
@@keaganwheeler-mccann8565I second this inquiry
Clannad? @@keaganwheeler-mccann8565
The singer’s voice is as clear and transparent as running water sparkling in the sunshine. Beautiful. What a gift.
❤❤❤
Beautiful
This is incredibly beautiful. I hope Chris Isaak gets to hear it. I genuinely think he would love it.
I was just thinking the same thing :)
This isn't a cover. This is a musical love letter to the original by Chris Isaak. Absolutely delicious!
Oh my GOD, the pipes, THE PIPES!!!!! This is the best thing to grace my ears in a long time.
Thank you! ❤ The pipes are callin’.
As always your lyric rewrites are so beautifully poetic! "What a wicked thought to free to make me dream of thee" is gorgeous!
Agreed!
@@emilyrauwerdink3451 can we summon him? guy has a twitter probably?
Love the Uilleann Pipes!!!!!!
This punched me in the heart. Thank you.
Lyrically played.
This honestly sounds like it coulve been a medieval song instead of just a medieval sounding cover. New fav unlocked.
I am honestly speechless. I came back to this channel after several years, having jokingly enjoyed Buskin Boots, only to discover a genuinely gorgeous and unique rendition of one of my favourite songs. Blessed art thou, Hildegard, and revered be thine work
Oh wow thank you for coming back! I’ve learned a lot since those first songs. 😅
@@HildegardvonblinginHolding Out For A Hero is my favourite!
@@Hildegardvonblingin the memes have turned into amazing art, and thats an amazing thing to witness. people are the worst and also the best
Just as haunting and somber as the original. The fact there's minimal lyric change speaks as well for what a timeless piece it is.
I wasn’t sold till I heard the pipes.
So, I was sold from the beginning 🤣
Some songs just _really_ lend themselves to this particular musical style, and this is definitely one of them. I love how this channel fills my Loreena McKennitt cravings.
Man, I was wondering how to describe this type of voice and you've gone and done it!
Yep. Thought of her too.
The pipes certainly gave this an amazing Celtic feel, love it.
I dunno what came over me but instant tears. Sobbing at some points. The original has always had a massive impact on my emotions and the uilleann pipes just kind of blew me away. Beautiful
Beautiful! You have the voice of an angel as always. I think the pipes are the perfect addition to this song, they sound so melancholy and yearning
I love every time one of her songs pops up in my notifications. Instantly makes my day SO much better
'Tis true.
Gawd, she has one of the most beautiful voices on YT. Someday, if she makes non-Bardcore songs, I'll be her biggest fan
Scuse me? What's wrong with being her biggest Bardcore fan? Pfft.
I strongly prefer this to the original. That main melody is just perfect for the pipes.
Queen Hildegard is always there for thee whenever we doth need her the most 🥀
And the congregation says amen
This is now the 2nd best version of this song. Every time I go back to the original, I find some new perfection I never noticed before. The same is true of von Blingin. This isn't satire, it's not a joke. It's a beautiful piece of art. Bravo.
Where does tenacious d's version sit lol
@@maccaronich Don't make me choose between mommy and daddies!
Ursine Vulpine and Annaca do an amazing cover of this song as well.
HIM made a great cover as well
I never knew I needed something so much until I heard this.
Perfect music for a heart weary soul to begin a long quest. When you sing the world stops to listen. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you so much for saying that, I appreciate you listening. 🙏
@@Hildegardvonblingin no, thank you. 😊 I've been listening to you work for a while, your voice and use of language, never fails to be amazing, beautiful and heartfelt.
OMG!!! THIS GIVES ME SO MANY CHILLS!!! THIS version sounds like it would play as a maiden sings as her warrior lover goes off to battle, and longing for his safe return🎉🎊
Wow, the uilleann pipes really suit this melody to a tee! That lilting pitch-bend is uncanny. Fantastic cover!
Your voice is the gentlest breeze passing through my body, carrying my soul into the embrace of a soothing sky
Gorgeous rendition, capturing the tragedy that is and was always the purpose of this song. Much appreciated.
well said
I love the original song and you really did a wonderful job on this!
Your stuff makes me wish I still played D&D so I could use your music as tavern or banquet ambiance.
This Medieval version of the song is so beautiful 😍 I simply love it. I'm daydreaming of how amazing would have been to play this song in a court, in front of the King and Queen...❤
I've listened to this song a number of times since it's been released. It makes me cry almost every time, and it makes me ache for things it feels I lost lifetimes ago when the icy winds swept over the mountains cold enough to make your lungs burn with every breath, but the fur from the hides wrapped round you were enough to keep you warm as you stood watch in the growing twilight for the one you loved.
Brilliant treatment of a brilliant song. It's such a great song - it's hard to make a bad version of it tbh, but as other commentors have mentioned the lyrical adaptations are excellent. Deeply haunting and understated, a quality the original poseeses - takes you to another world, another time, another feeling....
The intro alone is perfect. Love how it sounds like a Scottish hymn. Definitely need an instrumental version of this
I usually enjoy these songs but this one is... bigger. More haunting than the original - if at all possible. Not a parody; not an adaptation; deeply moving in its own right. Beautiful. Thank you.
Omg this is a song I didn't know I wanted covered, but I'm so glad it was. It makes perfect sense that it was chosen.
I never heard of Bardcore. After listening I find it so beautiful. You have such a beautiful voice. Together with the ancientish music it brings me to other older realms. I’m glad RUclips put you in my feed.
Go check out The Miracle Aligner too. ;)
I love your twist of this great song, singing thing is traditional English 🏴🎵🎶🎤
The voice.....the pipes......this has got to be amongst the most beautiful songs I've ever heard !
So hauntingly beautiful. It's like half remembering a heartbreak from a life a thousand years ago. I can almost see a maiden in the forest in the middle of the night singing this while casting a spell over a fire to save her heart from someone who's love is untrue.
Goosebumps are not enough for my skin to express the feelings by listening to this masterpiece. No, my skin has whole geese on it.
Ahaha best comment
Are you sure they aren't buboes?
@@PaulG.x oh shit they might be
Perfect Song choice and such a beautiful arrangement. Greetings from Bingen am Rhein, Germany
Forsooth. I have heard so many BAD covers of this song I had started to think it was impossible. I am thrilled to be wrong. This is amazing. Love it so much!
Isn’t it!! Just wonderful
Fair Lady Hildegard von Blingin, her voice, a celestial gift, weaves enchantment, captivating all who hear. Her dulcet tones, akin to dawn's lark, resonate, granting glimpses of divine harmony. With purity and resonance akin to nature's wonders, each note she crafts transcends mortal song. Her mastery evokes emotions profound, stirring joy and melancholy alike. In her performance, music's essence unfolds, resonating within existence itself. Lady Hildegard von Blingin, an unparalleled minstrel whose melodies ensnare the heart and elevate the spirit.
This is so funny cause I said yesterday: I wonder when Hildegard von Blinging will post again? And here is a new song!
This is one of my favourite songs and due to that I have listened to at least over 50+ covers of the song on various platforms trying to find the best other than the original. This is the ONLY one that I have ever liked, if not completely loved, and I’m so happy you made this. I really thought I would never find a similar if not better version of this song. This blows me away💕
I think this is the best version of this song. It feels like stepping into a dream and also like a funeral dirge both the joy and grief of love. Well done, Hildy
Dude... Duuuude. I love this work, I mean it's not even music anymore it's art. The pipes make me think of korn😂 and my childhood.😊
22 seconds in and I have chills, literally
The addition of uilleann pipes to this is just beautiful. I love it.
Well, Hildegard really nailed it with this song. I've listened to her songs since 2019 and I now have goosebumps again. Thanks to her, the art of bardcore is still alive.
This version sounds awesome.
(It reminds me of my first 💋 as a young lad. It was at the Easter fair in Limerick 🍀1185- At least it could have been)
I love the Uillean Pipes and the whistle in this, who would have known that Wicked Game could be played like this! 💖And the singer has a beautiful voice too!
Best ever cover of WG tbh.
🎉 Babe wake up. Von blingin just posted.
That’s a gorgeous version. Wow. Thanks for this masterpiece 😍😍
This one captures the angst in the song perfectly
Whenever I see a new post I click immediately. Doesn't matter what I am doing, I stop to listen. Have never been disappointed.
I didn't want to, but after hearing this song I am now fallen terribly in love. Wicked art thou indeed, devilish songstress! (Have to say I think this may be one of your most beautiful works, your voice is truly enchanting here, and you evoke just the right amount of the pain that comes with love. Thank you for sharing it.)
Utterly magical as always. A completely perfect voice.
I hope there is a music historian out there who can shed some light on whether these 'medieval covers' of modern songs would be appreciated in medieval times. Would they have been as enamoured and amazed as us? Wonderful, just wonderful.
Music has always been like magic, so I would hope so. But maybe they’d be suspicious of her sorcery 👀😂
Oh yah more music from Hildegard!
Sheer perfection! And the Uilleann pipes add that extra something to push it into downright special territory.
That voice!! OMG- always gives me goosebumps! Loved this song forever and absolutely love this arrangement! Thank you!!❤❤❤
Thank you so much for listening!
One of my favorite songs by Chris Isaak.
goosebumps and watery eyes. cant say the original ever made me feel this way.
bardcore hits different 🥲
Another transcendent melody by our Lady
Please never stop. You are an amazing artist! And you transport me back in time every time you sing! :)
Your voice is beautiful as always. This platform is enriched by your presence.
Back in December, just after Christmas, this song randomly got planted in my head, before I had heard this cover and a long time since hearing the original. Now I know it was Hildegaard von Blingin' calling to me with her mystical voice. So glad I finally answered.
Hearing this I kept expecting to hear the drums from the Mummers Dance in parts. These are always so well put together.
Memories of my childhood. Thank you for this ❤
Oh dang, the version by HIM is one of my favorite songs, didn't know it was a cover! I already like that one very much, so in another genre... it is beautiful!
Ursine Vulpine and Annaca do a phenomenal cover of this song as well.
I love this so much. Smacks of a million different forbidden romances of the old days.
Oh my! That opening few bars gave me goosebumps. Bravo you most excellent lady and minstrels 😚
Welp, it's my favorite written pop song. Let's go, tears.
Well, I didn't believe that anyone could ever cover this song in a way that would reach inside me as Mr Isaak's version does, but bugger me if this doesn't go and bloomin' well do it!
You've knocked it out of the park again, Hildy! Marvelous work, the instrumentals were magic and your voice the cherry on top, as always.
Edit: many cherries on top. Goosebumps. Shivers.
Stunning.
Perfect singing and Uillean pipes are sublime. Love this. Thank you ❤
Been replaying this several times since it came out. I am genuinely feeling a connection with your music, Sister.
Because of when this song came out, I was able to see Chris Isaack in his latest concert. Thank you !!!
My god this is so beautiful. I love the original, but this brings another mood to it, i think i’d listen to this more. Your voice clarity is so good with this song. 🥰
Doesn't matter if I've even heard the original--I'll always click on a Hildegard Von Blingin' video. I know this is going to go in my playlist as soon as it's posted to spotify.
Lovely singing and those pipes are amazing!
One of the few versions of this classic I've heard that does it justice.
My queen has released yet another banger. Adding that one to my playlist 😊
Out of all the sounds, music, voices, whatever heard today, this was by far the absolute best and most beautiful. It will be tomorrow as well; thank you 🥹
Such a GORGEOUS voice. This is how I've always wished I could sing. Just the most lovely sound.
I love how well the pipes work in this song.
Best Wicked Game cover I came across. It sounds so right with the medieval twist...
Uilleann pipes are amazing! They fit so well! This is a masterpiece
I don’t have the word to express how beautiful this is, thank you for posting it. ❤ For your next song could you please sing Running Up That Hill, I think it would be perfect for you. ❤
Pure magic! 😊
Truly an inspired retro-adaptation. Love the authentic medieval instruments and beautiful vocals!
FINALLLLY!😩 I LOVE THIS SONG
One of my favourite songs covered by one of my favourite artists. Truly, the Lady favours us!
A match made in heaven.
Verily thus, another marvelous melody grace us , thank thee oh yee magnificent lady thou!
This one works beautifully in the bardcore style. Great transcription musically.
