@atfatw Wow, you sound like a right cock snogging spastic! Amazing!!! Truly amazing depth of retardedness crammed into such a short post. You are King Spasticus!
@atfatw Pure puerile poppycock! We British live in Great Britain PRECISELY because our blood is mixed and 'foreign'!! From the start the English wove a beautiful tapestry from all the best of that outside influence, absorbed it totally, and made it their very own; that has been emulated and envied over the entire planet! Remember the drunken Winston Churchill accused by a Socialist 'lady' in Parliament? "I maybe drunk madam, tomorrow I will be sober.But you are ugly today, and will be tomorrow!"
Nice version. The earliest known version of this song is 'The Elfin Knight', an old English folk song rediscovered & collected in the Southern Appalachians Aug. 24th 1917 by Cecil Sharpe & Maud Karpeles. Syphon & Garmunkel popularised the song, but not to its detriment. "The worst thing you can do to a song, is not play it."
Scarborough Fair was written and composed far, far before there was ever a Texas. You seriously need to rethink your comment about Scarborough Fair and Texas. I personally have nothing against Texas or Texans, but I do know my history as some other people seem to know who left comments, and Scarborough, England is a very old location in North Yorkshire on the east coast of England. Far older than any state or province in the USA or Canada.
This song is an anti war song, not about a fair. Listen to the words that r interwoven into the song. Thats what makes this song so brilliiant. It is beautiful n subtle which is what makes it so powerful. If u cant hear the interwoven lyrics properly google the lyrics for the song, i think u will b very surprised
Yes, S&G's work, covered here, is an anti-war song, that they called "Scarborough Fair / Canticle."
But that was their blending of 2 songs, 1 being a re-purposing of an old folk-song that had nothing to do w/ war.
Wikipedia:
"The song tells the tale of a young man, who tells the listener 2 ask his former lover 2 perform 4 him a series of impossible tasks, such as making him a shirt w/o a seam... adding that if she completes these tasks he will take her back."
This sounds like something you would hear in a church in Italy. I was in one, they were playing this kind of music, it was moving and peaceful. Amazing.
Scarborough is in North Yorkshire, which is in / towards North-East England. There are many versions of this song though, about numerous locations for 'fairs'.
@Larieva1 Highly unlikely seeing as the lyrics to the song were written at least 400 years before Scarborough Renaissance Fair was first put on in 1981.
@Larieva1 "It is a Texas renaissance festival"...the words Texas and renaissance should never even appear in the same sentence let alone describe where scarborough fair is...maybe you're getting mixed up with that famous song "San Antonio Rodeo"?
What is the real gregorian chant ? The answer is in my chain : "The true gregorian chant". You have doubts about my knowledge of the subject? Look and listen: the singer is me, the books are originals. And the comparison reveal where is the FORGERY and who say the truth.
@camelotprincess Scarborough is a town in the NE of England, I know, I've been there, and yes it does have a Fair..
