I'm literally obsessed with this one recently.
Every part of it, especially the refrain, is just... captivating.​

La Paura Del Buio ― Måneskin​

Some lovely part of the lyrics, translated.​
I hear a thousand voices talking but
I can't hear what they are saying
I look in the mirror and I imagine
I’m at the circus
On a carousel of happiness
And I don’t wanna step down
Even if I'm not having fun anymore
Sometimes I feel like a miracle eh
Sometimes a joke
Then I lose my head in a second
But don't go around saying that
I am beside myself
La la la laa
I am beside myself
La la la laa

So take me, bite me, take away everything
I'll continue to be not afraid of the dark
And even when I'll lay on the ground, in pieces
I'll continue to be not afraid of the dark
[...]
It's only you who's afraid of the dark
Not us
[...]

Not us, not me, I
Prepare my vals with the devil
Since I was little
You can call me crazy, bastard, sick
I’ll toast on it with wine
Yes, I'll make a toast to you
La la la la
Yes, I'll make a toast to you because even if you hated me
You'll sing my name

[Bridge]
You’ll come back to me
With a tiredness to you
[...]
You’re the only one left on the ship
I recognize the signs on your face​

I'm actually awake for more than 29 hours by now and I needed some music to keep me up until I'm finished with my day so I'm very grateful I came across with this masterpiece. I find it very underrated.
 
Tristan et Yseult
(French song by Cécile Corbel)


In Brittany they tell
The story of two lovers
Whom love accompanies
Even beyond time
Even beyond time

Refrain:
As long as the bramble blooms
You and I will love each other
As long as the bramble blooms

But if the bramble wastes away
If it sinks back into oblivion
But if the bramble wastes away
Our love will fade as well


Tristan was summoned
By the king in his palace
To bring the fiancée
Across the seas
Yseult had a secret
That she could not reveal
A perfect love potion
That they drank unknowingly

(Refrain)

Forever they rest
In the heart of the forest
So that no-one dares
To disturb their secret
On their tombs can be seen
Two brambles united, intertwined
Tristan and Yseult sleep
Lovers for eternity

(Refrain)

Oh, by the way:
Tristan et Yseult
(French song by Cécile Corbel)


In Brittany they tell
The story of two lovers
With whom love goes
Even beyond time
Even beyond time

Refrain:
As long as the bramble blooms
You and I will love each other
As long as the bramble blooms
But if the bramble wastes away
If it sinks back into oblivion
But if the bramble wastes away
Our love will wilt as well

Tristan was summoned
By the king in his palace
To bring the fiancée
Across the seas
Yseult had a secret
That she could not reveal
A perfect love potion
That they drank unknowingly

(Refrain)

Forever they rest
In the heart of the forest
So that no-one dares
To disturb their secret
On their tombs can be seen
Two brambles united, intertwined
Tristan and Yseult sleep
Lovers for eternity

(Refrain)
As far as I know, the oldest known song about Tristan is this one:
I don't think anyone knows exactly just how old; the Medici family bought the manuscript in 1420, but it's at least 14th century, and the original could be even older.

Many arrangements have been made with various instruments; I learned it on recorder, as here. Didn't have a drum, though. 😄
 
I see IU's "Love Wins All" has added another 3 million views since I last posted about it, making 82 million, so far, but today I'm posting another from her "Winning" EP -- this time a synth/pop anthem, directed by and featuring DPR Ian:
(Captions available)

Bonus live version!

This woman's versatility and talent have no bounds.
