Orinoco Flow, by Enya, but it's a bardcore sea shanty.
Good morrow! It has been a little while, I’m afraid, for I have been busy with work around the abbey as we prepare for Winter. But I humbly offer another song for you all, by none other than our ethereal Queen Enya herself. This piece prominently features the lovely voice of my brother Friar Funk, and has additional vocals by the other men in the family. Please try to smell the salt spray and feel the wind on your face, even if you’re stuck at home like me.
A small update regarding Spotify: Cornelius Link and I have signed on with Kartel Music Group, and his songs are already up on Spotify. (Have a listen! shorturl.at/bdDEI ) Mine are a bit more complex when it comes to legalities, so they will be taking somewhat longer, but I promise the ball is now rolling! Thank you for your patience.

Lyrics:
Let me sail, let me sail
Let the Volga river flow
Let me reach, let me beach
On the shores of Tripoli
Let me sail, let me sail
Let me crash upon thy shore
Let me reach, let me beach
Far beyond the Baltic Sea
Sail away, sail away, sail away
From Calais to Marseilles, in the shade of Avalon
From Bari to Tiree and to Thessaloniki
From Milan to Sidon hear the power of Babylon
From Paris to Dundee, far beneath the Celtic Sea
Sail away, sail away, sail away
From the North to the South
Ebudae into Khartoum
From the deep sea of clouds
To the island of the moon
Carry me on the waves
To lands I have never been
Carry me on the waves
To lands I have never seen
We can sail, we can sail
With the Volga river flow
We can sail, we can sail
(Sail away, Sail away, Sail away)
We can steer, we can near
With my hands upon the oar
We can sigh, say goodbye
To the life we knew before
We can sail, we can sail
(Sail away, Sail away, Sail away)
We can reach, we can beach
On the shores of Tripoli
We can sail, we can sail
(Sail away, Sail away, Sail away)
From Paris to Dundee, far beneath the Celtic Sea
Sail away, sail away, sail away

Hildegard von Blingin’: *hold my ale*
Yes, but I also LOVE the name, because the original St Hildegard Von Bingen was amazing in her own right and makes history fascinating
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
*hold me ale
@@GothicPoet93 i didn't know her name was referencing a historical figure. That's really cool, I'll have to look into her.
Did you play Skyrim?
I was twirling in a circle in my kitchen listening to this, my neighbours passeth by and saw me through the window and called me a witch, now there's a mob outside ✌ prayeth for me
Has the mob come for you yet?
She turned the mob into newts
@@LKRaider Did they get better?
@@SarahM-lw2gd Yes! just back from my trial, I kept farting during questioning and the bishops said they could smell the foul stench of evil around me. This may not endeth well ✌
@@bagofhammers7479 if in doubt grabeth thou the nearest holy relic and plead repentance! Explain the heavenly melodies have but expelled the evil from thine body and hence forth thou shalt know nothing but purity and innocence 😇
Never know it might work 🤷♀️ you could always just chuck the relic at the nearest Bishop and run like the devil is after you xxx
Other bardcore channels : *Synth claps, boosted bass, just chucking any old sound in there.*
Hilde: *Actual time travel.*
Agreed
This is the first bardcore I found and I was so disappointed to discover how little effort most of the others put in
There is one channel that translates songs into Latin, Old French, etc. that one is neat, but otherwise most are lacking.
@@bibliophilecb do you mean the Miracle Aligner?
As a historian whose second college major was early music performance... this and Miracle Aligner are the ones I repeat, let's just say.
@@MJLANCSSpring Oh yeah, Miracle Aligner’s cover of House of the Rising Sun in Old French slays. I think I need to go listen to that again for about the 20th time.
I know we all rightfully love Lady Hildegard's angelic voice, but I think we must certainly acknowledge the wondrous voice of Friar Funk as well!
The wonders of Friar Fink’s voice are not lost on me. I want to hear more!
He is an goodly wight!
Sirens taught me to never trust beautiful singing near the sea.
Clever girl 😉
Haha I dont know though, sea shanties don't seem to fit sirens' aesthetic. This might just be trustworthy
Lucky you, survived to tell the tale... 🧜
Oh my, the music videos don't do them justice but if you've never heard Sirenna live you're in for a treat.
Or watery bints in a Mississippi stream (Brother, Where Art Thou?)
A moment of silence for those who will not find this song ... looking for "Sail away" ...
Maybe they should subscribe?
It DOES come up when searching for "enya sail away" but about 15 videos down, so almost nobody will find it that way.
@@AnonymousXIII At least there are 733k subscribers. Quite an achievement for Hildegard Von Blingin'! but alas, tis true that there shall be many a person who shan't hear this, sorry indeed are they who would enjoy such fantastic listening, yet miss it just barely.
Or they get Die Antwoord instead
I’ve heard this song several times by Celtic woman verson didn’t think this could happen and make it more old school my mind was blown
"The morale among the crew is low"
Hildegard von blingin: "hold my rum"
Holdfast mine grog!!
Arrr! [Chugs]
If I had no knowledge of Enya, I would 100% believe this is a faithful interpretation in an ancient song.
Right? I had no idea how nautical the lyrics were until now. It really does sound like a sea shanty. (Yes, I realise how dumb that sounds given the song’s refrain, but I always thought it was more metaphorical, you know?)
Lol yessss
I completely agree! Tbh, and this may be a bit of an unpopular opinion, but I think I prefer this version of the lyrics to the original. Mind you I've been a huge fan of this song for as long as I can remember
@@gormster In Enya's version it is indeed more metaphorical.
It could easily be an ancient song that Enya updated. It's like Roma Ryan (Enya lyricist) tapped into that old sea-shanty/inn vibe for Orinoco Flow's lyrics. This version rocks my hose.
Humbly requesting Friar Funk's lovely voice singing about how he's Never Gonna Give Me Up, Never Gonna Let Me Down....
Humbly requesting to hear anything the good Friar would like to sing. The sound of his voice is ‘heavenly’!
Never shall I give thee up, never shall I let thee downe.
OMG! that would be AMAZING!!!
THIS
I humbly request directions to the lovely Friar's channel, if such doth exist.
she hath returned!
Oh *they* hath returned!
She hath been reduced to mere vocals, and to think this was a cover of am Enya song.
It was written, and it has occurred!
huzzah !
This is what the Elves sing on the way to the Undying Lands
Okay now someone needs to update the locations to places in Middle Earth.
@@batmanforawhile Remind me to do that, I' ll post it on this comment
That would be so awesome!
Yessss, it's actually what I'm thinking of every time I listen to this beautiful song!♡
P.S. LOTR is in my heart forever)
@@gabriel-de8yv I'm not batman buy here's a reminder
I love that's you've chosen to change the lyrics to places known to Medieval Europe
not only that BUT THEY RHYME
I was so pleasantly surprised by this myself! Tbh I think I prefer these lyrics to the original, even though I've loved this song all my life. This version of the song is so charming in its own ways and I truly feel like it gives a time traveling glimpse into actual medieval sailors singing the shanty while they work onboard their ship; I can almost hear the waves and seagulls haha 🌊
Except of course the Orinoco
@Gavin Downes of course, it's off the coast of Scotland, the Ancient Irish would have settled there, and the Vikings would have sailed passed it
@@MisterDoubleO7 Hence the Volga river ;)
I’m here for my medieval spa appointment
Haha this one lacks chill, but I hope you find some relaxation nonetheless 😄
@@Hildegardvonblingin ☺️love it! I throughly enjoy all your work❤️
Ever went to the thermal waters of Spa in the County of Flanders?
Let me get you a swatch of birch switches to take with you into the bath house.

Everything else could wait, this has priority!

Tis in need. Lol
The comments are Holy.

Thanks you guys, I really appreciate it. ❤️❤️❤️
Weirdly this is kinda motivating me through my medieval art history Masters, idk something about the little guys in their boat just bobbing along really puts me in the medieval world
I love your profile picture! Dirty Paws is one of my favorites by OMAM
@@sunnybaudelaire9384 What about my profile picture?
hahaha it did the same for me, except it motivates me to work on my university portfolio. wishing u luck in life
My mother passed away 13 yes ago on November 2nd, eight days after I turned 21. She LOVED Enya, especially this song and she loved Celtic music. She would've loved this beautiful rendition as well.
I'm sorry about your loss, I'm sure she's listening in heaven ♥️
@Kabluey_Louie - It doth not matter at what age you have attained, when a dear parent dies, you do feel like a foundling.
So sorry for your loss x
I can ken your loss.
@@MossyMozart So true! I was 52 when my dad died, still feel gutted.
Me and my boy at the isolated lighthouse gonna be bumping this.
_This goes hard_
“Why’d you spill your beans?” 😂
You don't like me lobster?!
Passed by you and your boy as I was on my way to my boat to leave the island. Forgot to tell you: watch out for the mermaid.
Have it your way. I like your cooking.
Me: listening in bed
Husband: is that more sick bardcore?
Two fans right here 🙌

SAME!!!!! :D
Same! Haha but I was the one listening in bed \o/
Great one. Thank thee for that, noble lady! (and Friar of course) :D
Thank you sir! 😊
@@Hildegardvonblingin arigathanks gozaimuch!
@@Hildegardvonblingin Thank you for giving me a new genre to love! Your songs have been on constant repeat, I swear, for the past week or so. Do you have more songs in the works? I noticed Cornelius have released an amazing instrumental cover of Blinding Lights *hint* *hint* :D
wrr
No its thanks thee for thy fine lady

The way he sings Thessaloniki is so satisfying.
My lord: How swiftly dost thou click?
Me: More swiftly than sleep doth overtake thee after thine nightly ale.
Hahaha made my night! 😂
These videos are honestly the best thing in 2020
Alright, I am surprised at this. Generally Enya covers are terrible, even when done by excellent artists in the same genre. This one is incredible. I think it is due changing enough to fit the medium but keeping the core. Well done.
>>Generally Enya covers are terrible
And the originals aren't much better
* *RIMSHOT!* *
Agreed, the best cover of Enya I have heard!
All true, and while this is the best one I've heard so far, there does exist a Prodigy vs Enya mashup that bops hard.
@@oxtcn I know the one you speak of. It is pretty cool 😎
Maybe check out the cover by Celtic woman
I'm a simple man, I see Thessaloniki in the song, I press like.
I take it you are Thessalonian?
LORDS LADIES AND NOBLES OUR MAIDEN IS BACK THINE QUEEN IS BACK DOWN ON THY KNEES!!! ✨
Seriously though, these videos must take so much effort, and they're always so good! I hope you know that your channel brings so many people joy, thank you for everything!
Thank you, that means a lot. ❤️ It’s incredible how brutal and picky some people can be when it really does take a lot of effort to make and zero effort to tear down.
Seriously, incredible arrangement and production!
Someone once told me, "hurt people hurt people". I can't imagine the state of mind you'd have to be in to nitpick something so good, but at the time of writing, likes outnumber dislikes by 192.857 to 1, or in other words, haters are a rounding error.
““As for literary criticism in general: I have long felt that any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel or a play or a poem is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae or a banana split.”
-Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
It is funny how fired up people get over an offering. I say fuck em!
@@Hildegardvonblingin I think it is time to do Shake it Off. Bardcore style!
Sounds like a tale of Rus Vikings travelling the medieval world, carrying song in their breast wherever they go and inspiring each other for great deeds (and plunder not seen before)!
The Russian idea is corroborated by the fact that the song starts with the Volga river. Russian traders sounds more probable to me, although there was very little difference between the traders and the raiders. Although, when they say "say goodbye to the life we knew before" I think of the Russians and Saxons who fled from Viking Raids and joined the Varangian guard in Byzantium.
no...they scream... this is sound of the bards they kill while raiding
@@plaidpvcpipe3792 The Varangian guards were composed of Scandinavian Vikings themselves.
@@Fabianwew as well as Russians and even more prominently, Englishmen post-Hastings. They may have been founded by Norsemen but it was not exclusive.
The Rus were from Sweden though.
This sounds so natural, if you never knew the original, this would sound like any other sea shanty with unknown origin.
I unironically love that other family have joined the chorus for this song.
Me too lol
Our Lady Hildegard has blessed us once again. Hail.
I hope Enya hears this version.
Imagine tutors practicing this song amongst their noble pupils to practice geography.
In a better world wherest one had more werewhithal, I'd go on a World Tour based on the locations in the original lyrics.
_Eyyy this one's animated!_
@Orion Tigley - Good soul Orion, what is this demonic "animation" of which you write? I fear that I must hide 'neath my pallet until it ceaseth.
@@MossyMozart It is magic my friend, be not afraid, open your eyes and be overjoyed at this beutiful entertainment!
If you did a Florence and the Machine song it would sound almost the same
“Seven Devils” By Florence and the Machine
I'd love to hear "Cosmic Love"!
A bit like Lana del Rey , that style really suits this channel imo
@@alsuvarnadvipadanargentum1743 anything off ther HBHBHB album
@@Arkylie same here! But to be fair, I say that sentence pretty much twice a day
I have never heard a version so clear that I could finally understand the lyrics.....I LOVE IT!!!!
We will come to a point where there will be a bardcore version of every single song in existence. Mark my words
Oh I sure hope so lol
The Core Horizon? Bard Energy? I knoweth not if those jests went asunder to a black hole...
The pandemic won't be that long :/
at least blind guardian already does accoustic covers of most of their own music... but what of everyone else? we have a hard time's work ahead of us.
I do hope so
This is the ONLY channel of this type that I've seen worth in subscribing to.
Mystic Zaru is also relatively good, but no-one beats Hildegard.
There ARE quiet a few these days...
Truly, Friar Funk is a wondrous addition to these melodies! Hildegard has by far the best vocals, yet the Friar adds his own charm to songs.
I think I actually prefer this to the original and I really liked the original.
My thoughts exactly!
Your family is all so talented. Your brother sings beautifully, and even the additional voices were wonderful.
so this is going on every playlist i'll ever have
_I daresay, the descriptions Lady Hildegard writes are almost as good as the songs, I hope everyone reads them lol._
*#GimmeMoreFriarFunk*
Thank you for pointing this out. I had no idea!
They're the lyrics. Enya wrote them.
@@tombarter3287 That's part of the description, but I'm talking about everything else. She puts alot of effort into greetings, information and all while typing in "ye olde speak"
She also gives funny and creative names for stuff.
Why, yes random RUclips algorithm, I *would* like to listen to a sea shanty version of Enya out of nowhere. Glad I clicked!
If ever there was a time that we needed to be transported across the seas by music, now is that time. And this version of the song not only carries us to lands that we cannot go to but across the abyss of time. Thank you for this ballad
I love this channel so much
The comments are Holy
As russian and a person who live in Saint-Petersburg I bow low before your musical talent, deep knowledge of geography and not afraid to say vocal mastery. Just fantastic. You bring tears to my eyes,thank you so much.
I had such a fierce attachment to this song as a child. Thank you for choosing it to be in your Bardcore collection.
"Enya but... 'bardcore sea shanty'? Whaaaat?"
:: clicks ::
A+++ would click on interesting-sounding video again
Glad to see Friar Funk return, loved his appearance in Somebody I used to know.
This scratches every single musical itch that has ever oppressed me. * infinite replay *
You and I both! 🙌🎶
I never thought i hear an absolutely perfect medieval adaptation of a modern song, yet here it is. Amazing rendition.
I just had Pompeii by Bastille come up in a playlist, and it occurs to me that it might be really interesting in bardcore style.
I love that song and think they HvB could really do it justice!
My childhood music taste has merged with my adult music taste, this is excellent
Never sail away, Hildegard!
If you ain’t down with Enya’s ethereal Celtic jams you can get the hell outta my face.
Lol
Viva Venezuela, Donde yace nuestro río Orinoco, en el estado Amazonas 😍😍😍😍 orgullo venezolano
I'm impressed with all the old place names that still fit into the rhythm and rhyme.
A banger since 1599! Truly a classic that has transended the times!
I love that about half of the cities and landmarks featured still work, and half had to get a Medieval Europe update.
Bardic inspiration for all!!!
Imagine Hildegard von Blingin's version of 'I will survive'
Or “Survivor” 😮
You mean "I shall prevail"
Caribbean Blue, maybe as a tribute to the Indo-European sea gods?
@@estherbrown4084 is Caribbean blue Enya?
@Fabian Ehlhardt: I came here to say that, although it should probably be 'shalt'. One shalt prevail!

His voice is beautiful, earnest and masculine all at once.
I cannot recall the last time I felt this much pure joy from a piece of music. If I could like this video a thousand times over, it would still not be enough.
Each one of those 40 dislikes is a vengeful ghost of a sorry sap who fell overboard 'twixt Europe and Africa.
Back then when me and the bois would blast this banger during our voyages, good times.
me when this shows up in my recs: "man this looks silly"
me when it finishes: "oh shit, it actually slaps"
edit, me one day later: "uhh how did I end up back here for the fifth time? Whoops."
Double-slapper. The original slaps in pub karaoke, I found.
Right? I stopped counting by day 4.
When you get on that one boat to jerusalem that has the bard
pov: you're a 16th century pirate who dies from scurvy at age 32
Uh oh 😧
don't forget your limes, and skip the scurvy part
In the 16th century 32 would be considered a ripe old age. The average lifespan was in the 20s. Many native American Indians lived only to their teens.
@@tutekohe1361 Medieval and early modern life expectancy is heavily skewed by the amount of early child deaths! So people regularly lived well beyond 32 and (if I recall correctly) could live well into their 60s or 70s, but the average is much lower because of the high infant mortality rate.
@@tutekohe1361 Average lifespan /Average life expectancy
A blessed day is it when Lady Hildegarde graces our ears with her angelic voice.
Doubly so when Friar Funk accompanies her
#GimmeMoreFriarFunk
Holy crap this has instantly become my all time #1 favourite bardcore cover. this is SO GOOD
A rather fortuitous choice of graphic, for this is 110% what they were bopping to when the White Ship went down.

My cat loves Hildegard Von Blingin lol everytime I play it, he looks so content ♡
With such talent as Lady Von Blingin and the Friar Funk possess, this family must be related to the noble house of Von Trapp!
Since the holidays coming up, could you do a "ye olde" version of a Christmas song?
Yes!! I vote Santa Baby
All I want for Christmas is you? 🥺
It has to be “last Christmas” obviously
Krumpus, Baby?
Baby It's Cold Outside (Inside), Little Drummer Boy (Bowie/Crosby version), Christmas Wrapping (By Ye Olds Wenches...Yulemas Rapping?) Mr. Grinch (Ye Wench... At closing time lol).... Just some suggestions
This gave me goosebumps. I love everything you create. Please don't ever stop. Your music touches a part of me that longs for sweeping gowns, unexplored forests and glimpses of castles.
I have fond memories of the middle ages too. I know how it sounds but it feels true.
this song thatched my roof, lanced my buboes, and paid my annual rent of 10 hoggets and a sack of barley
Baltic Sea. Oh, gosh, I love it. It's the cleverest thing I heard this year. So happy I came across it.
She's back!!!!
The most GORGEOUS voice in the universe!
RUclips needs to add a function where you can like a video multiple times, because this deserves WAY MORE than a single like.
Almost a year on and I'm still coming back to this, it's so beautifully done.
OMG! This is breathtaking. I love Enya and thought you did the song justice. Sail away indeed.

When you're a peaceful and merry Viking sailing in the Baltic sea
@Vadim Abramov - "Peaceful and merry Viking"? In the early ADs, they raided coastal communities from Scandinavia to the British Isles to the Middle East. Many towns had escape routes planned for when the raiders came sailing in - up to the hills and caves, for example. The Vikings carried away anything portable of value and even carried off people when they could to be sold farther along the trip into slavery.
@@MossyMozart Absolutely true. But this one is peaceful and decided to see the world instead.
@@MossyMozart They also founded Russia.
Ma’am I just want you to know this is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. You’ve combined my two favorite things and I didn’t know I needed it. I am forever in your debt.
My lady, blessed talent floweth through thine bloodline! May thine dynasty reign over bardcore forevermore!
Oh it just brings back all the painful memories of the White Ship all over again!
But seriously, I got an ad for Viking sea and river cruises before watching!
I LOVE SEA SHANTIES YES VERY EPIC
also, i would love to see a medieval little lion man cover hehe 🌚
That’s a good idea
Me, while pacing back and forth in my bedroom: Sail away! Sail away! Sail away!
This is the best one, yet. Lady Hildegard, I thank you for this. The song most likely to be stuck in my head for days is now a thousand times better.
Fantastic!

I love that unlike most bardcore covers, the lyrics here hardly had to be changed at all.
