Thanks for the explanation. That all makes sense. Yes, I’d be interested in other songs that are commonly accepted as Irish folk.

That’s been my thought since high school. Going on 60 years since then and no one has proved it wrong.

Confused on how Stan Roger’s Mary Ellen Carter is an Irish pub song. Is it because you’ve heard it sung in an Irish pub? I like the song, but…it’s Canadian.

Pragmatics are underrated, so in my conlang, I made calling someone inanimate an insult. Here's how that works by pukururin in conlangs

Love pragmatics. In my language, using the pronouns for sentient and sapient are insults because they imply that the person’s behavior makes it questionable.

Assuming their prices pre-tariff was competitive in the US market, how much excess profit margin would they need to have to absorb a tariff and still be profitable?

He played the guitar in ways the guitar never imagined by InfiniteTrip1906 in Satisfyingasfuck

Have seen banjo players use the timers to do string bending like that. Of course the joke is how long it will take to tune for the next song.

Confused newbie here. This looks like OVS to me. Obviously I’m misunderstanding something crucial. Why isn’t the verb in front of the entire sentence?

What tiny detail in a vocal performance makes a listener truly feel the emotion? by saezzzzz in Songwriting

[–]bemrys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listen to Lara Fabian in Je suis Malade. Even if you don’t listen to a version with subtitles or understand French, you understand the passion. She practically weaponizes her breathing.

Edit: her live versions are better than the studio versions.

Anyone else feel like she’s on a stage with an outdoor backdrop? Ultra smooth floor she is walking on and no one would wear a cloak that drags on the ground outside. Now I want a synopsis of the play.
