▶ Listen to the Updated/Remastered version on Spotify: Bad Romance, by Lady Gaga, but medieval/fantasy inspired. Ye have all been exceedingly lovely, a thousand thanks for the support and kind words! I am still new to this, but wanted to actually create my own instrumental this time, so on this track you'll hear a Celtic harp and several wooden recorders I played. Also, I received some wonderful suggestions for the name of this strange genre. Obviously there is plenty of wonderful authentic medieval music out there, but there also seems to be a ravenous demand for “old timey“ covers of modern songs. So far the contenders are: Tavernwave and Bardcore. I love both, and I'd also love to hear your suggestions in the comments. The image is a combination of two pages from the Romance of Alexander in French verse, with illuminations by the Flemish illuminator Jehan de Grise & his workshop, 1338-44 Listen on Soundcloud: PS: (For those of you scholarly folk asking, yes “thee and me“ is technically incorrect, which is a nod to the original lyrics by the Lady Gaga) Lyrics: I want thine ugly, I want thy disease Take aught from thee shall I if it can be free I want thy love Love, love, love, I want thy love I want thy heartache, the touch of thy hand For weal or woe, I want each kiss in the sand I want thy love Love, love, love, I want thy love I want thy love, and all thy lover’s revenge Thee and me could write a bad romance I want thy horror, I want thy design Thou art a criminal whilst thou art mine I want thy love Love, love, love, I want thy love I want thy Nero, thy Bedlam lament, If this is sin then I shall never repent, I want thy love Love, love, love, I want thy love I want thy love, and all thy lover’s revenge Thee and me could write a bad romance
