Had a new idea for my A to Z blogging challenge.
I like discovering new music, and I like discovering new tales. So, I thought I'd ask all you people to send me some of their favorite songs, and I'll make it a challenge to match folktales to the songs. 😄 🎶 🎵
Any genre, no judgment 😊
Boosts welcome.
Thank you!
Edit: songs don't have to be folklore themed. It's fun if they are not :)
What I am learning is that the most off-the-wall music suggestions bring me the best ideas 😄 Keep them coming!
@TarkabarkaHolgy Oh wow—how many nominations you taking from a single commenter? I’ll limit myself to 5, but I could do 100 if you let me…
“No Roots” by Alice Merton
“Coming of Age” by Foster the People
“heavydirtysoul” by twentyonepilots
“Rise” by The Cult
“Silence” by Delirium (Feat. Sarah McLachlan)—make sure it’s the full 6:34 original version and not the radio edit or a remix or it utterly destroys the beauty of this masterpiece. It’s on their 1999 album “Karma”
@TarkabarkaHolgy This draws out some very deep emotions within me..

Choosing just a few is a tough, don't want to flood with recommendations 😅
@TarkabarkaHolgy You should give the Grateful Dead a listen. A lot of their songs are wreathed in folk tales. Listen to
Dire Wolf
Dupree's Diamond Blues
Friend of the Devil
for starters.

These are two songs
Find by Ridgewalkers featuring El
Concrete Jungle by Gareth Emery featuring Christina Novelli
Here's a favorite of mine that I may write a story about one day....
Xandau by Rush, Farewell to Kings Album.
@TarkabarkaHolgy Picking a favorite song is all but impossible for this brain o’ mine…but! Let’s just go with this one! 🤩
Exiles, King Crimson. "Here in this faraway land..."
Gravity calling - Flipron
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fk1_A16IRq4)
Tough to not predict a tale, but then songs are tales of a sort anyway. 🤔
@TarkabarkaHolgy
I don't know anything about what's behind this song but this version has a hella groove. Madam Mariama from Gambian griot Juldeh Camara, accompanied by two English guys, in a Scots Gaelic pub in Glasgow, filmed for a Scots language music programme.
I can recommend loads of clips from around the world, but you're inundated already. If you're curious to hear more give me a shout.

@TarkabarkaHolgy Also from #Scotland, Rachel Sermanni, one of our best story tellers in song. Her whole repertoire is great. An old clip, but I love this version 💖
I hope you enjoy some of these.

@TarkabarkaHolgy dear Dr. ZCV I recommend this song
it’s my all time favourite pop song, for a number of reasons
the rusty vocal
the ingenious little piano lick
the surprising harmony
the divine guitar solo
the special lyrics
the sheer length of it
