Ive noticed her methods for lyric changes are essentially to keep the changes minimal, and make changes make sense. So the song gets adapted to old english (which doesnt change much). But she then picks out words and phrases to change to make it period accurate. For example, guns arent a thing. So any mention of guns and bullets gets adapted to bows and arrows. Another good example, for her rendition of rising sun, she changes New Orleans to Orleans (really damn lucky the song was about a "new" city, with an old european city that shares the same name). The meaning is still the same, but it becomes about a brothel in a city in France rather than one in the nonexistent Liousiana. It seems like most bardcore covers just adapt it to old english, but dont take the time and effort to adapt the lyrics to their time period in such clever ways. She does. There is a purpose behind every change. Abaolutely meticulous.

I probably would have went mad if no one else here would have made that Association

Just in time, Hildegard. I was feeling overwhelmed studying for an exam, your soothing voice will calm me a bit.

Good luck!

Not often some one has such an ethereal voice, no matter the song, she entrances ..

A medieval audience would probably see this as being about Cain or the Wandering Jew, the legend of the man who taunted Christ at calvary, and was thus forced to walk the earth until the Second Coming.

Suddenly this masterpiece was made even more beautyfull.

Your finest work to date! It's hard to sum up just how perfect this is, but I will try... On a day when nothing has gone your way. When it's rained from dawn 'til dusk. When you've received tragic news and your heart is breaking from the pain. When all seems lost and for nought... this song pierces the gloom like a golden arrow; a radiant, angelic voice that transports you away from your woes, lifting your spirits and your heart high above your troubles, restoring your faith and bringing hope where there was none before.... Thank you once again for sharing your magnificent, magical talents with the rest of us.

This is fantastic! The changes to the lyrics work great for an undead character. My immediate assumption for that character art is the King of the Dead from Lord of the Rings (Rioc).

Thank you to the algorithm for sharing me with this only 1 day after its upload instead of 1 year after. This is an astounding cover. The dying king is a fitting touch.

Always an unexpected delight when you upload, and a wonderful job as always!

If anyone here hasn't seen the video of Trent Reznor performing a duet of Hurt with David Bowie (one of his biggest musical influences) I highly recommend it. Trent can't stop himself from smiling the whole time. Honestly incredible song, the fact it's been iterated upon so many times in so many different ways is really something special.

unreal how well it translates - I could so imagine being in an olde tavern and hearing this - very cool how the skulls fade in, very nice artistic touch and fitting

Your finest work yet. Hurt is such a powerful song. The original NIN version is my favorite, though Cash's cover is amazing.

Wow !!! This is So Beautiful !!! Now perhaps my most favorite cover of Johnny Cash's original !!! I love medieval music, so it's Doubly Perfect !!! Thanks for sharing !! xo

Nine Inch Nails is the original. Johnny's version is a cover. He did the cover at the suggestion of his producer of the American albums, Rick Rubin. The original is on NIN's album "The Downward Spiral"

This is magic. This is changing the world just because it changed me. Thanks you for this aweseome piece of art.

Coming back to this after re-watching Higlander and paying attention to the changes in the lyrics really makes me think of a "young" Immortal after his Quickening but with no one there to tell him things and the pain he feels about not dying with his loved ones... As usual Hildegard knocks things out of the proverbial park with her covers.

and just when I needed her, she returns! thank you for bringing joy to my world, especially as it's exam season here in the uk

One of my fave songs to play on piano and sing, and I have a special place in my heart for the original and the Johnny Cash version. You did not disappoint, Ms. von Blingin ❤

I keep forgetting this isn't a Jonny Cash original. Now I'm going to forget it's not a Bardcore original

Beautiful, as always. Glad to see you're still around and doing this! I was excited when I saw your community post. Had no idea it was this. Genuinely, such a beautiful cover.

Wonderful work! The lyrical changes really enhance the style without diminishing the sting. Could tweak a couple more places ("I will give thee hurt", "Could I but start again"), but it's a testament to the powerful simplicity of the original's lyrics that they don't need much translation, even to mock-Shakespeare. Humans have always been human, with such big feelings that they struggled to articulate!

Man, this was so moving! You altered the lyrics only a little bit compared to your other covers, but, as you said in the description, that is necessary. Your voice is angelic and the backing vocals at 3:23 gave me goosebumps! This is almost as good as Johnny Cash's cover! Really one of your best! I can't help but wonder how people from the Middle Ages or Renaissance would feel listening to this cover. Would they feel as moved as we do?
