#hasztag

busy Thursday, so let’s sneak in a #ThursdayFiveList just before bed. The challenge? 5 songs, in 5 languages with the theme; #TheTowerOfBabel, let’s roll!

Walg - Zielsalleen (Dutch meloblack) https://song.link/nl/i/1805965627

Kjeld - Falske Doop (Frisian meloblack) https://song.link/nl/i/1548202436

Enslaved - Havenless (Norse black) https://song.link/nl/i/263402865

Afsky - Altid Veltilfreds (Danish black) https://song.link/i/1506730344

Regarde Les Honmes Tomber - Au Bord Du Gouffre (French black) https://song.link/i/1485807427

This list is actually six languages since the Enslaved song has Norse and English parts in it. #blackMetal #Europe #European

#ThursdayFiveList theme #TheTowerOfBabel (each song a different language)

Let's start with an English cover of a Jacques Brel song:

David Bowie - Port Of Amsterdam
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uPZIG5BHD4

And here's Brel himself:

Jacques Brel - Le plat pays
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzeZcdW4Pbo

And this is from that plat pays, dat vlakke land that was his:

Noordkaap - Mensenzee (Het zou niet mogen zijn)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHVTqoybDEs

Talking of zee, meaning sea, let's have some Gaelic:

Ingrid Henderson - Oran na Maighdinn Mhara (Song of the Mermaid)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUzjytK_rfY

And finally of course the obligatory Japanese song. Let's stay with the sea: star sand is the sand of some beaches in Okinawa, it's made of tiny star shaped creatures

Saya - ぼくらは星砂　
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrVWZcfgXg4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6whSCaK8gQ

Kingu's #ThursdayFiveList theme is #TheTowerOfBabel "so we can all discover strange tongues and familiar feelings and watch our tower reach the sky."

Screaming Dead - Tower Of Babel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weVS8BJ5PdE
Going literal for the opening to this multi-lingual odyssey with this banger from UK horror punk outfit, the Screaming Dead. (It was this, or Skyscraper by Bad Religion for this spot.)

Korpiklaani - Saunaan
https://korpiklaani.bandcamp.com/track/saunaan
About the pleasures of staying up all night drinking in the sauna. Also, listen to Olli Vanska's violin work.
Lyrics: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/korpiklaani-saunaan-lyrics#translations

Epileptics - Suicide Season (prod. M¥KKA)
https://epileptics.bandcamp.com/track/suicide-season-prod-m-kka
I'm still into that one Mexican trap artist to an unhealthy degree

Ritualmord - Spår
https://ritualmord.bandcamp.com/track/sp-r-2
Rough machine translation of the Swedish lyrics:
"My whole body screams no
But it's just the feelings that bother me
It's just me who hears me out here
It's just me who bothers me in here
How can we talk about what we do not understand?
Do we have to pretend there are no tracks?
Do we need to open more wounds?"

Worhs - À vivre à mort
https://worhs.bandcamp.com/track/vivre-mort
French black metal song that I'm going to go ahead and call as being about being trans, particularly the last verse, which begins "I was the sister of the man who killed me".

But the first couplet is my favourite:
«J'ai vu un vice
Et m’y suis plongée >
("I saw a vice and I dived into it.")

Bonus song For the True Tower of Babel
