NIEDŹWIEDŹ ✷ THE BEAR ✷ (Ursus arctos) ✷ "Jak mawiano niedźwiedzie mają duszę, a duch drapieżnika mści się na swoim zabójcy, np. prowadzi go na bezdroża lub w przepaście." "Niedźwiedź był również zwierzęciem demonicznym, symbolem płodności, urodzaju, sił wegetacyjnych, a z racji swojego trybu życia (sen zimowy) - odwiecznego zmagania się zimy-śmierci z życiodajną wiosną." ✷ "As they say, bears have souls, and their spirit takes a revenge on it's killer, for example, leading it astray or into the precipice." "The bear was also a demonic animal, a symbol of fertility, harvest, vegetative forces, and due to its lifestyle (hibernation) - the eternal struggle of winter-death with life-giving spring." - From "Góralskie czary. Leksykon Magii Podtatrza i Beskidów Zachodnich" by Katarzyna Ceklarz i Urszula Janicka-Krzywda. published by Tatrzański Park Narodowy -

Jesień - tańcuj

youtube

Autumn - dance!

[lyrics, my translation]

Come out, bridesmaid, come out, it's time for the wedding

There will be violins, drums and bass playing for us

And who won't eat and who won't drink

Shall be given two sticks*, shall be doused with slop.

*A quote from old Polish drinking song dating back to XVIIIth century with lyrics from XIXth century, here it jokingly implies that whoever refuses to drink to the health of the newlyweds will be beaten.

[chorus]

The wedding news is flying out into the world

Dance and go wild like the untamed autumn wind

To love, drink once, drink twice, the best of love

Drink to love, brother, to love, bottoms up.

Hey, dance with us here, till the floor becomes splinters,

Hey, dance with us up here, feet up,

Chase after me and I will give you honey, sweet

Grab my hips and kiss me without second thought*. (x2)

*Original lyrics „całuj mnie jak z nut” are a play on the Polish expression „kłamać jak z nut” meaning to lie brazenly and without hesitation (lie through your teeth).

When the day burns out and fades into darkness,

When the dark night comes, guests, guests come home,

Play, play, musicians, give us a strong rhythm

Put your legs to this dance, dance untill the dawn.

Don't cry, mother, don't cry, I’ll be alright

You were like a guardian angel to me, but now I have him

Cups to cups, heels to the floor,

The whole room is pounding, a choir, leg to leg.

Everyone beats the same rhythm, don't stand here, move,

The legs are tearing, another sip and a whirlwind of lonely souls,

Dance, let the world spin, forget the bad,

Let us rejoice now, Lord, thank you for this day.

[chorus]

The wedding news is flying out into the world

Dance and go wild like the untamed autumn wind

To love, drink once, drink twice, the best of love

Drink to love, brother, to love, bottoms up.

Hey, dance with us here, till the floor becomes splinters,

Hey, dance with us up here, feet up

Chase after me and I will give you honey, sweet

Grab my hips and kiss me without second thought. (x2)

Update on my journey of trying to find music that hit similar to will wood/and the tapeworms because my brain is very picky and doesnt like a lot of music!!!!!

when i started looking for recs the first artists i tried were tally hall and lemon demon (though i kinda like both and know why people associate them together, theyre not similar vibes wise for me) + charlies inferno, which i love, but when i tried more that handsome devils music it didnt feel the same as this one

Then i tried ajj, rare americans and oingo boingo. Theyre also not similar but also quite enjoyable to me, especially ajj’s terrifyer and most oingo boingo songs, as theyre all alike, so if you enjoy one youll probably like more

Then i tried exploring more with the evil-antagonist-cabaret vibes. I found kabaret sybarit and a verbal equinox (yes theres also will wood …….. but listen…….) which led to the dresden dolls and amanda palmer in general

LATER I GOT ENLIGHTENED!!!!!!!! I realized the thing i enjoy the most about will woods music is the folk aspect (ESPECIALLY THE KLEZMER VIBES!!!!!!) in will woods songs theres also a saxophone that matches perfectly with it. This lend to some more artists like golem, or rokiczanka (that i already knew, but my dad said the clarinet? in wyszlabym za dziada reminds him of that saxophone in wwatt) knowing that i tried more slavic folk (which i didnt really like lmao)(besides witcher 3 soundtrack, i love it)

And after some more digging today i tried the avant garde genre. So far i think diablo swing orchestra is cool and i have to listen to some more music from them

Its still not the same and exactly what im looking for, but i feel like im getting so much closer!!!!! Now i know what will wood meant when he said he wants his music to be as original as he can. I find elements of his songs i like scattered in so many different genres, and now whats left for me is find something that combines them, like a modern klezmer and punk/rock combination, or more cabaret like songs that are more energetic.

Its a long ass rant and its so oddly specific that i dont have any hope that people would relate to my musical problems. Not complaining tho!!! The journey of finding and listening to so much unique artists helps me see what i enjoy and what dont. Also i love using tumblr as a diary. End of rant, i hope i wont find it cringe later

Chłopki - Joanna Kuciel-Frydryszak

Book recommendation alert

Excellent book. Lots of trigger warnings though including but not limited to violence, rape, misogyny etc. Might result in side effects such as sudden inability to romanticize your ancestors’ lives as well as fierce dislike for cottagecore content and whatever it is the tradwives are doing.
