im putting together a couple of scottish folk mixes bc that’s what i do and im honestly curious if anyone in my country has ever been unequivocally happy about anything ever
scottish trad music genres:
- Everyone I Love Is Dead
- The English Have Stolen All My Sheep
- You Want To Be My Boyfriend? First You Must Answer These Riddles Three
- The Protestants Have Stolen All My Sheep
- I Love You A Lot But You’ve Left Me And It’s Raining [fiddle solo]
- The Sea Is Treacherous, Just Like The English
- One Time Bonnie Prince Charlie Punched Me In The Face And It Was Awesome
- The Fairies Have Stolen All My Sheep
We have of course the traditional Irish music genres to go with them:
* Everyone I Love Is An Allegorical Representation of Ireland
* The English Stole My Farm And Put Sheep On It
* You Were My Boyfriend But Now You Won’t Even Come To The Window To Look Upon Me And Our Dead Infant Child (In The Rain)
* Whack Fol Too La Roo Umptytiddly Good They’ve Stopped Listening Now Let’s Talk About Revolution
* Something In Irish, I Think It’s About Fairies, Or Maybe A Cow
The Welsh are late to the party, as usual, with our own rain-sodden entries:
* Wales is Very Green and the English Made Me Leave. Grass, Grass, Mountains.
* The English Are Stealing My Land
* The English Are Ruining the Valleys [Grass, Grass, Mountains]
* The English Drove out the Fey Folk [From the Valleys]
* The English Are Sending Me to Australia Because I Stole a Sheep
* Look at These Daffodils. The English Are Going to Build a Factory On Them
* Every Male in my Family for 300 Years Died in the Mines and Now So Will I. It’s Raining
* The English Have Stolen King Arthur
* Owain Glyndwr Would Never Have Let This Happen
And the following, very particular, Welsh specialities:
* [A Dylan Thomas Thing Set to Music]
* My Boyfriend Is the Prisoner of a Faerie Queen, It’s Raining, and she Gouged Out His Eyes for Looking at Me
* I Killed My Dog Because I Thought He Killed My Baby, But He Didn’t Kill My Baby, He Killed a Wolf to Stop the Wolf Killing My Baby, My Baby is Fine, My Dog is Dead, I Will Never Smile Again, and It’s Raining
* My Boyfriend Murdered Me and Made a Harp Out of My Hair [so I haunted the harp and told everyone]
