As someone who had an obsession with Enya and other Irish music for years growing up, hearing Hozier put Gaeilge into the ears of another generation and exposing us again to it's beauty makes me incredibly happy ❤️

Making some ludicrously '90s jazz fusion
BIG SEXY DIGITAL PAN PIPES BABY ✨
Synth sound is Living Calliope on the Roland D-50, my favourite synthesizer patch ever ever.
If it's good enough for Enya and for Geinoh Yamashirogumi on the Akira soundtrack, it's sure as shit good enough for me.

Year-End Poll #55: 2004

*Sorry 2004 by Ruben Studdard plays softly in the background*
Now we're really starting to see the hold the South will have on the sound of rap and hip-hop in the 2000's. Just about every region that isn't the East Coast (and let's be real: New York specifically) had to fight to get their style of rap to be taken seriously. And when the East vs. West debate was reaching it's peak in the 90's, the South was treated like the third party option. I've linked to an article about André 3000's famous speech at the 1995 Source Awards, a moment that is marked by many as a turning point in southern hip-top.
Now in the 2000's, the impact of southern rap can no longer be questioned. This is partially due to the rising popularity of crunk, which has really taken off this decade. With Yeah! and Goodies, crunk was able to find a wider audience by fusing the genre with R&B (Crunk&B). This was also the year Billboard started publishing its ringtone charts, which was set to be published in late 2004. The ringtone era turned out to be bolstered greatly by this shift in the sound of popular music, as a majority of the songs making this chart would be rap.
But crunk was far from the only style of rap coming out of the south. Especially with the presence of iconic southern hip-hop act, OutKast. With the release of their double album, Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, André 3000 and Big Boi were not only able to experiment with different sounds and genres, but this album (these albums?) also introduced them to an even larger audience.

Ryder by Madison Beer is a black brothers song aruge with the wall
Regulus "Grew up in the same house
So I know why you lash out
Oh, I understand you
More than you think I do I always left you out
You still love me somehow
You just wanted a friend
Didn't know it then, but now I do" Black
Sirius "Our youth down the drain
And I'll take all of the blame
For all of the countless
Times that you cried I shouldn't have left you behind
And I fall to pieces" Black
#I was listening to it and my mind went “Black Brothers”#the 'I'll take all the blame' 'shouldn't have left you behind' screams Sirius#here continues the saga of me connecting ever media of music I consume to marauders#sirius orion black#sirius black#regulus arcturus black#regulus black#the black brothers#black brothers#sirius and regulus#black family#the noble and most ancient house of black#marauders era#marauders#silence between songs#madison beer#silence between songs madison beer#enya talks

six sentence sunday tag game
thank you @zmwrites - i am doing this now because otherwise it may literally never get done
also, in an effort to prove i don't only post heartbreaking stuff, here you go:
Joy bubbled up inside Isi’s chest. The music seemed to find a place inside her that, until today, she had not known was empty, flowing in and filling it up until it spilled over. She tipped her head back and grinned as she hummed, letting the song wash over and through her.
Slowly the song reached its end; Robin held the final note, gradually fading out. Isi did not want it to end, did not want to lose the sheer euphoria it had brought. Eventually, silence fell, but the gooseflesh on Isi’s skin stayed, and the crackling in the air.
i shall tag @ashen-crest @isherwoodj and @dragon-swords-prophecies :D no pressure of course
#tag game#six sentence sunday tag#six sentence sunday#wip dragonsong#dragonsong excerpt#dragonsong isi#dragonsong robin#dragonsong enya#< the reason the music is so cool: dragon singing!! magic!!

So you know that post about Enigma's "Sadeness" going round, where everyone in the 90ies was into Gregorian Chants for a month?
It was NOT just a month.
The 90ies is a whole decade of unexpected and weird bangers which were based on combinations of synth, traditional instruments, traditional music, choral work and religious music. This is why there was always a whole section in shops called "New Age" (which pretty much meant "weird music we can't classify").
So Enigma releases "Sadeness" in 1990 and it becomes wildly popular in Europe. The band is still going strong apparently, though I haven't heard of any of their other music.
In 1993 in France, another Gregorian Chant banger came out: the soundtrack from a (terrible) comedy called Les Visiteurs.
youtube
If the theme sounds familiar, it's because in 1996 the composer Eric Lévy formed the band Era (also still going to this day) and the song "Ameno" was another banger. The album was apparently France's biggest musical export in 1996.
youtube
In 1994, another choral banger hit the charts. Written phonetically in a language that sounds like Latin, it was used in adverts and the album generally sold really well.
youtube
Okay so how was it possible for this many Latin-sounding choral work weird-ass bangers to get so popular? Well, IMO, someone paved the way for them.
Enya topped the charts for weeks in 1989 with her album Watermark and single "Orinoco Flow". Her music heavily relies on choral work, is heavily inspired by religious and classical music, with her own Irish spin on it. While "Orinoco Flow" sounds quite far from that dark Gregorian style, a number of lesser-known tracks definitely have a feel of it. This is my favourite from 1995, all in Latin (other notable ones are "Cursum Perficio" and "Tempus Vernum"):
youtube
And if you're one of those snobs poo-poohing Enya as "just cutesy ambient music", she is still Ireland's bestselling solo artist 35 years later, in spite of the fact that she doesn't tour and only releases an album every 5 years or so. She has influenced many artists, been used in soundtracks and sampled into several songs which themselves became hits. Her music is complex and varied - if you care to dig further than her singles.
And since it's Christmas, it's only appropriate for me to end with this gorgeous adaptation of a Christmas hymn:
youtube

ROUND 1 - GROUP A
Propaganda under the cut
Enya
evil old hag. has two left hands. can see the future or some shit and made all the stand bullshit possible in the first place. she was only there for one part but left a lasting impact
made jotaro act like columbo for one scene only ever. this should have happened more
shes called enya the hag
Grizabella
I like her old lady swag
If you haven't noticed I've never seen Cats or anything Cats related but i got a 2 hour long video essay on it reccommended to me on youtube and I think she's cool and has unexplained trauma and deserves love. Also her outfit slaps so hard.
she is SO OLD and SO SAD. everyone fucking hates her. she used to be a starlet and foresook everyone in her life to chase stardom, leaving her bereft of companionship in her old age. also at the end she does get picked to go to. well it's unclear but she gets to meet god and be reincarnated
yeah she's got 2 whole songs of propaganda -Grizabella the Glamour Cat (song sung by other cats about how Grizz sucks and should Just Die Already) -Memory (song sung by her about how sad she is but she refuses to give up until she has proven she can be loved again) (the betty buckley version is my fave)

"Marble Halls" - performed by the Hobbits, the Elves, and the Men. Also a bit of Sam/Rosie.
Just thinking a little about Rosie Cotton today.
I inadvertently came to develop her and like her more than intended in Flowers of Mordor.
Based on what little of her is mentioned in canon, she seemed rather assertive, brave, and an envelope-pusher. She all but gave Sam an ultimatum to quit dawdling and marry her, and when her mother tried to shush her because there were "ruffians about," she would not, and said "let them hear! Sam is coming home soon!" There's probably something in her of the out-of-the-ordinary and transgressive in her that drew Sam to her, just like he was drawn to Frodo.
So in FoM I made her entertaining and feisty, able to command a room with a story or a song, a fierce protector of her friends, and very much capable of throwing a drunk putting a drunk in their place at the Green Dragon.
And recently, I finished Dickensian, and heard the song "I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls" as part of the finale, and it gave me Rosie and Sam vibes. I can see Rosie singing it in a bar for the assembly (but really she's singing it to and about Sam), and then later singing it to Sam in a more private setting, perhaps as a lullaby -- because he might also have sleep troubles after the quest, just not as badly as Frodo.
Here is one of the best-known versions of the song by Enya that sounds rather more like something the elves might have performed, whereas Rosie's version probably sounded like the second video from the finale of Dickensian - a little uncouth and unschooled, accompanied by a single piano, and with listeners singing along. (Forgive the poor quality of the Youtube clip).
youtube
BONUS:
Oh, heck, here's another lovely, operatic version of the song by Dame Joan Sutherland. I actually think this is my favorite. This performance is probably reminiscent of what would have been heard in Gondor.
youtube
Lyrics:
I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls
With vassals and serfs at my side,
And of all who assembled within those walls
That I was the hope and the pride.
I had riches all too great to count
And a high ancestral name.
But I also dreamt which pleased me most
That you loved me still the same,
That you loved me
You loved me still the same,
That you loved me
You loved me still the same.
Tagging lovers of my behind-the-scenes process: @konartiste @hippodameia @bumblingbriars
