So depending on where I’m scheduled, sometimes I get to pick the music at my job. And usually I play my rather eclectic “folk vibes” playlist, which at most gets a “fun music” from people who come in, or some teens will sing along to wellerman.

I did get some odd looks from some middle-aged white women during Gay Werewolf Murder Ballad, but I regret absolutely nothing.

idk how much y'all know about batman but

rn im rewatching holy musical b@man and trying to picture how bruce wayne would feel if his children forced him to sit down and watch this goddamn parody stage musical of his life. i cannot recommend the experience enough. he would feel like he is literally in hell being tortured by satan

his kids would be having the time of their lives except for dick who is almost as embarrassed as bruce is

#it STARTS with his parents being brutally murdered in front of his eyes. in a synth pop ballad #i made a couple posts on my other blog about this concept and how much it means to me #so hmu if u wanna hear more on the subject #fuck i need to sleep #starkid #holy musical b@man #batman

My girl, my girl, don’t you lie to me—

Where Did You Sleep Last Night (also known as “In the Pines,” “Black Girl / Black Gal,” and “My Girl”) is a bit of a confusing one. Is it a murder ballad, or a death song? Someone in it is dead, and has died in a horrific way, but exactly who has died changes depending on the version you’re listening to, as does the way in which the victim died, and who is responsible for their death. And who is singing this song? The killer, someone that knows the killer, an omniscient third party? There are point-of-view shifts all over the place. My girl, my girl, don’t lie to me / tell me where did you sleep last night? That’s how the song begins. In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don’t ever shine, she replies, I shivered the whole night through. Most of the stanzas in the version I am referencing follow this formula, alternating between the person speaking to the ‘girl,’ and the girl’s responses. All save one, which starts: Her husband was a hard working man. In that one verse, the singer takes a different point of view entirely.

Some of these confusing aspects may stem from the fact that the song we now know as “Where Did You Sleep Last Night” is a mashup of two older ballads: “In the Pines” and “The Longest Train.” Some versions of the song reference the train explicitly, and state that the victim was decapitated by a train. In others, such as the one I’m most familiar with, the only reference to a train is that [his] head was found in a driving wheel. And in still others, the cause of death is reattributed and no reference to trains is made at all. Similarly, the person fleeing into the pines changes from version to version. In most, including this one, it is a woman, but why she is fleeing or what she is fleeing from is not made explicit. Is she fleeing her rapist? Is she a murderer, or the witness to a murder? Did she commit some other transgression that she is hiding from the repercussions of? Or are the pines simply a metaphor? My girl could be running from life and into death, or from chastity and into (her) sexuality.

I find that all these inconsistencies and mysteries only add to the song’s beauty and sadness. It’s easier to imagine yourself as the one in the pines when you can ascribe your own personal reasons for running—and your own personal places to run to—to the song’s protagonist, and that makes the song even more haunting. Speaking of: to my ear, Leadbelly’s 1944 recording is the most haunting take—his quavering voice, the scratchy blues guitar—though Nirvana’s 1993 MTV Unplugged version is also essential. Listen, and shiver the whole night through.

[tallmadgeandtea]

In the midst of the final weeks of class I’ve managed to see the new THG prequel trailer, and it finally urged me to make a playlist I’ve wanted to make for awhile. Here is a playlist of folk songs that remind me of the hunger games, with stories of love, murder, and rebellion.

Hope you give it a listen and enjoy!

#this is based on recent viewing of the movies btw I haven’t read the books since the initial craze but here it is! #the hunger games #THG #katniss everdeen #the mockingjay #amanda speaks #about her folk music #folk music #murder ballads #Spotify #fanmix #the hunger games playlist

"The Ballad Of Sarah Berry" but it's 1860 and it's about a suitress trying to attract a high-class man, and marry him to boost her family's status.

failing to do so she goes on a murder spree at the wedding.

My interpretation of Sarah Berry(Blonde) and Julie Jenkins(Brunette)

I wanted to make an animatic but I just don't have the time SIGH
