Delirium, featuring Mediaeval Baebes. Who says Middle English doesn't have a thumping, remixable beat?
The lyrics, should you be interested:
I have wist, sin I couthe meen
That children hath by candle light
Her shadewe on the wal iseen
And ronne therafter all the night
Bisy aboute they han ben
To catchen it with all here might
And whom they catchen it best wolde wene
Sannest it shet out of her sight
The shadewe catchen they ne might
For no lines that they couthe lay
This shadewe I may likne aright
To this world and yesterday
Bisy aboute they han ben
To catchen it with all here might
And whom they catchen it best wolde wene
Sannest it shet out of her sight
The shadewe catchen they ne might
For no lines that they couthe lay
This shadewe I may likne aright
[thank you, Eileen Joy and Larry Swain]
Well, now that I've seen the video, I must say that the Baebes are much cooler than the Oasis, the most passive-aggressive band in history...

ReplyDeleteThatz how they clone Enya, Dad.
I let my three eyar old daughter watch the video. She immediately wanted to (1) put on her Fairy Dress Up outfit and zip around the hosue and then (2) have green apples bob around in the bathtub with her. "Because," she said, "that's what dancing princesses do." The power of images.
