I love you folk music I love you celtic tunes I love you sea shanties I love you trail songs I love you bluegrass I love you ballads I love you madrigals I love you roundelays I love you Irish jigs I love you jug music I love you sertanejo I love you cowpunk I love you ragtime I love you yodeling
folk music makes me go feral. you’re telling me that I’m singing along to songs that have been circulating among commonfolk and kings alike for hundreds of years, set to tunes that are hundreds of years older than that? you’re telling me these ballads have outlived empires and revolutions? you’re telling me this reel could have been played to entertain my ancestors while they spun wool by the fire? absolutely bonkers stuff.
but I have to defrost the bacon to make bacon pancakes for the sick kiddo.
I want to listen to something that makes me think of the fanfic, but also something that’s fresh bc I’ve listened to the Celtic playlist and The Witcher OST so much within a month
I also just want to stare at Halsin and Astarion and think of how the one would react to my cooking and how the other would react to essentially everything in my life

Keiko Yamamoto engages in an impromptu céilí session with her Irish friend Aisling O’Connell and a banjo-playing Leprechaun…to celebrate all things Celtic!
“Singing nature back to life through the power of poetry, art and music”
Look to the sky with care, my love
And speak the things you see
Let new names take and root and thrive and grow
And even as you journey on past dying stars exploding
Like the gilded one in flight, leave your little gifts of light
And in the dead of night my darling,
find the gleaming eye of starling
Like the little aviator, sing your heart to all dark matter
