Music Roundup Monday: "Creepy Folk Week"

You know, I should write an intro for this. I mean, it's a bunch of slightly-unsettling folk songs from various traditions--France, the Ukraine, Poland, Britain, and America. Nah.

Guilhem Desq - "Omen"

Corvus Corax - "Totentanz"

Faun - "Iduna"

Marcin Przybyłowicz - "The Song of the Sword-Dancer"

Drudkh - "Archaic Dance"

Townes Van Zandt - "Lungs"

Eilen Jewell - "Bang Bang Bang"

Poem Tuesday: "Senfgas"

Come and kiss me:
I am poison.
Come and warm me:
I am death.
In the nighttime,
Hear me calling,
Lock your doors tight,
Fear my breath.
As the wind blows
Through the brambles
So do I pass
Through the world.
If you see me,
Tell nobody.
Choking death
Will be unfurled.

I'll let you research what "senfgas" is on your own. Anyway, I really love Townes Van Zandt, and this is inspired by the structure of "Snake Song." Only, because I also really love WWI, it got kind of mixed up with that. So yeah. I'm very tired. Good night.
