Something that amuses me about many cultures’ ancient music is that they didn’t really have distinct ger res as we think of them. You might have something dirge-like for funerals. And you might have something different for battle songs. But beyond that? Anything goes.

I was listening to a discussion of old Icelandic music, for instance, and they had a group of native performers singing a song. It sounded so pretty- men and women singing these lilting melodies with great harmonies. All very upbeat and light. Musically, a modern composer would have no trouble at all turning it into a pop song.

As the academician then revealed, the song was about a multigenerational blood feud, and at times, got kind of graphic.

IOW, imagine blackened death metal rearranged for k-pop sensations BTS.

I've always like the old Celtic stuff - they're great for singing upbeat happy-sounding songs about death and betrayal, lol.
If you're not paying attention to the lyrics of stuff like The Cuckoo or The Bonny Greenwoodside, you think, hey that's a really beautiful song. Then you actually listen to the words and they're occasionally kind of horrible...

There is this old finnish song that is also very up beat but the lyrics tell of a feud between giants and how the corpses of two of the giants formed the largest fells in northern finland

Well a lot of old folk music is about sex, violence, and death.

Well...a lot of music of all kinds is about those things.

...though it would be really weird to hear Taylor Swift covering ”Natural Born Killer” or Drake doing an album of thrash metal covers.

I think Taylor Swift needs to do the N.W.A. ode to law enforcement.

Finally ran the Seven Samurai scenario I’ve been plotting. Oni and reflavored gnolls vs farming village and the heroes. Peasants and traps took care of the gnolls while the pc’s fought the oni.
