Another "piece of Eight" -- a live, acoustic version:

And in concert a few months ago, being adored by thousands of fans:

And why not? She's adorable! 😍

Hmm. Seems strangely familiar, somehow. . .

Oh yes. Well I guess guess every six pages is good.

At least I can give it a like now! :p
 
Well, watch what you click, huh? Now I get Melnitsa on my recommendations -- not that I mind!

I don't know what the film is; looks like a Chinese ghost story, but I could be wrong, and I like the song:

Another one from this group. And this time, I recognize the film: Moon Lovers; Scarlet Heart Ryeo, starring none other than IU! Is that serendipity, consilience, or what?
Thanks, Alice! 😊

So the new Dylan album is due out in the middle of June, and now Neil Young is releasing a long-lost album from 1975; not a bad month coming up!
 
I don't think this particular song is well known - but it is a good piece of music. (The brass instruments in the "background" are nice, and a good little Sax solo). His singing is "dynamic" and lyrical genious (generally speaking) - I assume he wrote the lyrics. If not, he still wrote much other good lyrics - Imagine being the most well known.

Oh and that's a folk song (I adore it). The singer's name is Melnitsa (Мельница)
I was surprised by the intro, I'd have thought it to be something Irish (the lyrics would have had to have been Old Gaelic, "obviously").
😳

Oh, yes, this music tries to sound Irish, not Russian :)
A very sad song actually

The beginning (and at the end) sounded a bit like one element of Nordic folk. When the song kicks to start - it becomes a bit "Dutch" folk sounding, the flute being mainly responsible for that. The singing does have "Baltic" vibes. Interesting song. It has Celtic elements but I wouldn't say that it sounds Irish.

This is Irish (for me):
Tony MacMahon - My Love is in America / Castle Kelly

I really like the mysterious notes and tones in the second reel - Castle Kelly (it almost throws me back to some distant time - OR is it a bit like the music of the Elves?). My Love is in America is a bit more "hobbit-like"
