    • A few years ago, during the lockdowns, I stumbled across the genre, Bardcore.  Pretty cool, my two favorites:

    • Brilliant!

    Robert hath a swift hand
    He doth gaze upon the fyrd, and he maketh a plan
    He hath a jaunty cap, perched upon his head, he is a longbowman
    He did find an old bow of yew
    And a quiver of arrows in his father’s chest, wherefore I cannot say
    But he cometh for thee, yea he cometh for thee

    All ye bully-rooks with your buskin boots
    Best ye go, best ye go
    Outrun my bow
    All ye bully-rooks with your buskin boots
    Best ye go, best ye go, faster than mine arrow

    Father worketh all day
    And he cometh home late, yea he cometh home late
    Mayhaps he bringeth me a gift
    For stew is in the pot though it doth taste of grit
    I have waited e’re long
    Now mine eye is quick and mine arm is strong
    I reason with my crooked cap
    And say “Thou art an artless, greasy tallow-catch.” Yea

    All ye bully-rooks with your buskin boots
    Best ye go, best ye go
    Outrun my bow
    All ye bully-rooks with your buskin boots
    Best ye go, best ye go, faster than mine arrow



    Original version of the song:

    Robert's got a quick hand
    He'll look around the room, but won't tell you his plan
    He's got a rolled cigarette
    Hanging out his mouth, he's a cowboy kid, yeah
    He found a six-shooter gun
    In his dad's closet, and with a box of fun things
    I don't even know what
    But he's coming for you, yeah, he's coming for you

    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You better run, better run outrun my gun
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You better run, better run faster than my bullet

    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You better run, better run outrun my gun
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You better run, better run faster than my bullet

    Daddy works a long day
    He'd be coming home late, yeah, he's coming home late
    And he's bringing me a surprise
    'Cause dinner's in the kitchen, and it's packed in ice

    I've waited for a long time
    Yeah, the sleight of my hand is now a quick pull trigger
    I reason with my cigarette
    Then say, "Your hair's on fire, you must have lost your wits, yeah"

    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You better run, better run outrun my gun
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You better run, better run faster than my bullet

    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You better run, better run outrun my gun
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You better run, better run faster than my bullet

    Run, run, run, run
    R-r-r-run, run, run, run
    R-r-r-run, run, run, run
    R-r-r-run
    Run, run
    Run, run, run

    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You better run, better run outrun my gun
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You better run, better run faster than my bullet

    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You better run, better run outrun my gun
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You better run, better run faster than my bullet
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You better run, better run outrun my gun
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You better run, better run faster than my bullet

    • Most of 'em are instrumental, but wow are they good. Especially songs that had a great melody to begin with ;)

    • This isn't Bardcore, but I found it during my search down the Bardcore rabbithole. I LOVE good music by true musicians.
    And I love upbeat music with a Spanish beat.

    Reminds me of The Gypsy Kings :cowboy:

    I would be interested in seeing some group do versions of present tunes but in Old or Middle English. As we have seen, it works well with Old French.

    An aside: you can sing O Little Town of Bethlehem to the tune of House of the Rising Sun :cowboy:

    Thank you for taking the time to post the side-by-side lyrics for Pumped Up Kicks.  My favorite Bardcore performer is Hildegard von Blingin, who has a Youtube channel.  She adapts the lyrics on all of her remakes.  I really like her Jolene, as the lyrics themselves already lend themselves well to adaptation.
    I too enjoy Spanish/Flamenco/Classical Guitar type music. 

    I think one of the coolest performances I have heard is the concert: Sacred Music From Medieval Spain: The Llibre Vermell And The Cantigas De Santa Maria.  Especially must listen to in this concert is Cantiga 302 : A Madre de Jhesu-Cristo, begin at 12:04:
