Good day fine folks! I am so thrilled to announce that I finally made a Patreon! I'll be posting all sorts of things, from early access videos, to downloads, art, polls, and songs from the cutting room floor. The first Behind the Scenes video is available for all, so please go have a look!
The Art:
An album of miniatures from the early 17th century, featuring the characters of the commedia dell’arte. (PRPH Books)
The Lyrics:
I see a red door
And I want it painted black
No colours anymore
I want them to turn black
I see the maidens fair
Dressed in their summer clothes
And I must bow my head
Until my darkness goeth
I see the lonely chapel
‘Tis all painted black
With flowers and my love
Both never to come back
The townsfolk cross themselves
And swiftly look away
Much like a newborn babe,
It doth happen every day
I look inside myself
And see my heart is black
I see my red door
I must have it painted black
Look now for no more day
Nor night, but that from hell,
Then all must as they may
In darkness learn to dwell
No more doth blue spread o’er my green and wretched sea
I could not e’er foretell this fate befalling thee
If I stare long enough
Into the setting sun
My love shall laugh with me
Before the morn doth come
I see a red door
And I want it painted black
No colours anymore
I want them to turn black
I see the maidens fair
Dressed in their summer clothes
And I must bow my head
Until my darkness goeth

Too late to soothe the distraught widows of the Black Plague, but thankful to have it for our own generation
-
Bardcore is awesome and you are the best at making it
-
"No more doth blue spread o’er my green and wretched sea I could not e’er foretell this fate befalling thee" is an absolutely incredible couplet, fantastic writing.
-
Yesssss! This starts out fantastic and then somehow gets more and more epic as it goes.
-
There's a lot of medieval covers out there but yours are some of the only ones who don't sound like someone just took the lute sound on a synth and I truly adore them for it, ALSO THE CHOIR IN THIS ONE IS EPIC
-
I adore the recent reinvention of 60s music as bardcore on your channel. I’m biased my dad and I used to Listen to this stuff. He’s passed away now but he would have really gotten a kick out of this. ❤
-
It's nice that bardcore is still alive in '23. Hildegard is the best since anno domini 1135... "I've seen her live in the Kingdom of Heavens Jerusalem 1139"
-
This is why you don't skip the bards college in Skyrim
-
It would be so awesome if some medieval fantasy film use these songs.
-
Huzzah, this has purged the phlegm and black bile from my soul, furious choler and vibrant blood resound!
-
As an avid medievalist that adores the original song (and has a penchant for black always), I could not have asked for more. My cup runneth o'er.
-
INCREDIBLE!!! THE CHANTING!!! Also this makes me want a sympathy for the devil cover
-
The Choir at the end hits really hard. I would really love to hear "Bad Moon Rising" in hour style.
-
It’s always a joyous day when you release a new song! Love it. ❤️ Excited about the Patreon too.

“How many valiant men, how many fair ladies, breakfast with their kinfolk and the same night supped with their ancestors in the next world!” – Giovanni Boccaccio (writing about the Black Death).
-
This song is awesome. The chanting! THE CHANTING!!! ❤ I think this this is the only Bardcore artist that actually uses vocabulary and phrasing that a medieval person might use; which only enhances every song. Keep up the great work Frau von Blingen.
-
The Return of the Queen Also this song from the perspective of a Medieval widow completely changes everything. Amazing work.
-
Danke Schwester Hildegard! Der Herr sei Ihnen gnädig und schütze Sie auf allen Wegen!
-
Definitely the best medieval version of Paint it Black.
-
Ho-ly SHIT. This one is ON ANOTHER LEVEL even compared to your typical work. The sense of epicness and scale (like with the initial drop then the outro) SERIOUSLY takes this up a notch and gives me goosebumps like crazy. If you ever have a Greatest Hits album this either needs to be the first or the last song on that track list! I am BEGGING YouTube, oh holy algorithm, to make this viral.
