Wow - I love the way your voice and words float together
Agree with Linda, it floats well with some magic and you have an interesting, enchanting voice.
Thanks Linda I knew it was right because it felt very channelled.
Thank you. You would be surprised - some of the playing i do you might find to progressiveAgree with Linda, it floats well with some magic and you have an interesting, enchanting voice.

First!
Let's get funny a bit starting Part Two. Or better: lovely and cute. Combined with musical hardness. Which actually IS... funny.
And it seems impossible I know. Just discovered them 2-3 weeks ago and am still hooked. Two given laws for me do not apply anymore since then:
First, I never thought that Metal could be cute. As cute as a few months old kittens or puppies are.
Second, neither had I thought (according to my own proud musician ethos) I'd ever like one of those artificial vocal pop groups / boy/girl pop dance groups casted together by the music industry that spits a new one out in a planned way almost every year - at least in Europe. Well. I have to make a double exception here because this is hilarious.
First of all this is so great for me since the backing band is excellent and they've actually not been casted beforehand, so this is the more organic part. They are first-class musicians.
Secondly, it's because the girls do an extraordinary and excellent performance I've not seen anything like this before this way, not in any other boy or girl group I had to watch.
This regards singing, choreography, show and all. The choreo fits the music perfectly, it's even quite hypnotic imv. Of course they have been trained by the industry to do so, everything is scripted, I know this as I know the music industry and how they do it. And yet I have greatest respect for them. Moreover since it's not easy to 'survive' with this and like this before a normally quite purist/traditionalist and die-hard metalhead crowd. And they do!
Let's not forget ... this is at the same time still Metal. I never thought this combination possible. The main singer sings wonderfully for her age. The bass player (the funny bald guy that has a happy time all-out) is amazing. The drummer and the guitar players, too. The 2 dancers and background singers are amazing (and ... cute).
I've watched this quite a few times and it will not be the last time. Have an open mind when you watch it, even if you're not into Metal. Btw. it's called "Kawaii Metal" (which actually means "Cute Metal" in Japanese). And now it is even being embraced by metalheads around the world - as one can clearly see in this English audience going wild like it was Slayer, Priest, Maiden or Metallica on stage. Which again ... is funny.
“Taka” is same in Icelandic “taka mynd” means to “take a picture”. Cheers to Word nerds ....Cool. I'm still a kind of linguist, too.
Yes, angst is an English loan word from German and Danish, it stems from Old High German angust, I think the meaning stayed rather the same: fear, worry, anxiety, although loanwords can get a different meaning in the new language (or even in the old one), too.
There are many interesting loan words that came directly from German to English or also have a common root to the old Germanic languages of which angst is a good example.
Many Old English words are akin to German words today. E.g. the word niman existed in English for take. Niman is still the contemporary German word for take: nehmen. Today's take in English btw was 'taken' (yeah, great pun!) from the Vikings who invaded England, it is from Old Norse taka. Of course there is always the Roman/Latin part in the English language where a Latin (or French) equivalent word exists almost simultaneously with the Germanic version. For example get and receive.
I'll stop or we will derail the music thread with this now.
My all time favorite - saw him once. Fantasy dream - I'm in an Irish pub drinking Harp beer, he walks in, and takes the stage for a few songs.
The man is clearly awakened. Have you listened to how many of his songs are about awakening, being awakened, or trying to wake people up? Hymns to the Silence, In The Garden, Enlightenment, etc. The list goes on. It's like he is doing the soundtrack to The Event.
