what album is this on?

I Cover You with Blood

[fragmentunmade]

Thank you for posting this video. I believe more bands on Projekt Records should make videos. My love is here next to me and you made her smile. YAY!

[mechanesthesia]

Thank you. :)

I just got into Projekt about a year ago, and I can't get enough of it. It's possibly my favorite record label.

I didn't even know if anyone on YouTube would have recognized Unto Ashes.

It was written in the early 13th C. by Walther von der Vogelweide in Middle High German. Though its subject matter is Palestine and aborted 5th Crusade, it is interesting and unique in that it states in the 11th verse that though Christians, Jews and pagans claim the Holy Land as their inheritance and fight each other in his name, only G-d can choose who is right. Though I do not support any sort of religious war, I think this interesting in the context of the Middle Ages. Glad you liked it.

Hi,

don't worry - you're NOT an idiot *g* - even most Germans would not understand the lyrics either. The text is in "Middle High German".

Nû lebe ich mir alrêst werde,

sît mîn sündic ouge sihet

daz hêre lant und ouch die erde,

der man vil der êren gihet.

Nû ist geschehen, des ich dâ bat:

ich bin komen an die stat,

dâ got mennischlîchen trat.

Google should help you for more.

Does anyone know of more songs like this that have the original text AND tune delivered from the middleages? This song fascinates me, because I know that this is how it was supposed to be sounding according to a mediaval composer... Most of the old songs were just delivered lyrics only...

Plz react to my post when you know of any songs that are text and lyrics original! Much obliged!

6 Muslims misliked the song... ;-)))

[Ctane126]

Im German and its Not so hard to understand. old high German is more difficult

[beliaal2]

Should be "Middle High German".

[tigerlily3574]

Don't think I am an idiot please but I am unsure what language this song is in. German? Anyone know?

I'm digging it. Unto Ashes is excellent, and this video is quite beautiful.
